A few years back all the trucks in our loop were being serviced one after another and we had the same old 10 cube being passed around to each of us. Now being the middle of winter (in Minnesota) it was quite cold and this POS would not heat up....at all.
First guy writes it up "No Heat".
Mechanic: "Checked heater. OK for service."
Next day I had it. Of course I froze my butt off for the day and wrote it up.
Me: "Heater blowing cold air, even after long drive."
Mechanic: "Checked heater. OK for service.
Next guy in my loop gets it on the coldest day of the week. When he got in he looked mighty cold. Wouldn't stop bitching about it.
Him: "Heater broken, will not get warm. Nothing but cold air."
Mechanic: "Walk faster"
Still the funniest comment I've ever seen from a mechanic. The vehicle heater did work...inside the building where it was 50 degrees.
Did anyone try blocking the radiator with cardboard?
