Yeah I don't care what they want to offer for "free", sometimes free isn't worth the cost.

I told the guy that and he argued you don't mix it you juts put it in there. He then got mechanic and the mechanic said "yeah. we don't ix it we just put it in there. It's already mixed". So finally I got the master tech to come out and he said "of course you have to mix it!". Good to know they fill their cars there with straight coolant.
I was just talking to a guy on facebook last night that was told by a service manager that the parking brake on his Camaro was non adjustable and having to pull the handle up 17 clicks to make it still not hold the car on a hill was normal. What's scary is there's a large number of people who think anyone wearing a GM patch on their overalls is an expert and will take their word for it when in fact they often don't have a clue.
