Be very aware of using the Mr. Transmission franchise for auto repairs. I
learned my leason when I was over $3000 poorer and had to have the dealer
fix my vehicle when they got through with it.

Interesting series of posts. There's posts from customers complaining about
poor workmanship, and franchise holders wanting their money back.
The costs of auto trans "repair" and scare stories like this are why I only
drive manuals, as a manual trans can have all sorts of internal woes and
still function, when an auto is stranded on the freeway.
I did have an automatic once: a 72 Valiant station wagon with a 318 V8 I
paid $250 for and used as the service "truck" for my rally car. We called it
the Vogon 'cause it was big, ugly and a sickly yellow. The thing was
indestructable and carried all the spares with no noticable loss of
performance.

Vogon Poetry:
Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits
On a lurgid bee
That mordiously hath bitled out
Its earted jurtles
Into a rancid festering [drowned out by moaning and screaming]
Now the jurpling slayjid agrocrustles
Are slurping hagrilly up the axlegrurts
And living glupules frart and slipulate
Like jowling meated liverslime
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes
And hooptiously drangle me
With crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or else I shall rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon
See if I don't.

Here is your Vogon Poem from BBC Cult to ll ( hachiroku_ae88@ )
See, see the saint sky
Marvel at its big fuscia depths.
Tell me, george do you
Wonder why the platypus ignores you?
Why its foobly stare
makes you feel ugh.
I can tell you, it is
Worried by your forkle facial growth
That looks like
A ice.
What's more, it knows
Your fard potting shed
Smells of pea.
Everything under the big saint sky
Asks why, why do you even bother?
You only charm poos.

It did amaze me to find the amount of people who have had problems with Mr.
Transmission. It does look like they bilk the franchise owners in addition
to the general public. I actually met the two mechanics who worked on my car
after it was too late to do anything but take the car to the dealer. One of
them had a very hard time even reading English as I had him run a computer
diagnostic of the transmission error codes. The other, the supervisor, was
responsable for replacing a sensor that only functioned for a dash gauge
readout. For some reason he thought that it would fix the problem and he
ended up trashing my dash gauge which Ford repaired for me.
