Yeah he was pretty shocked, but that's what it took to make a point to this guy. I told him there was a Goodyear tire store up the road, and across the intersection, and that he could make it if he drives real slow.

After he realized that I mean buisness, and don't like being blamed for things that are so unsubstansiated, he decided to pay us our going rate for tire repair, which is EIGHT WHOLE DOLLARS
and agreed never to return. (much to mine, and my bosses delight)

By the way, the guy drives a '97 Cadillac Seville STS, and makes six figures a year.

He brought it to us with the Check Engine light on. I extracted code P0306 (cyl 6 misfire). Read the freeze frame data which said that the code was set like 28 ignition cycles before, and hadn't repeated since.

I reset the ECM's memory, checked for an ignition wire arcing to ground, found none, told him it may have been a glitch, or it may indicate that hes car needs a tune up soon, and sent him on his way, having only charged him $10. for the 10 minutes or so that it took to extract the code.

Mabye he felt like he didn't get his ten bucks worth that day or something.
