Learn Something New Department

I recently took my Chevy in for a front end alignment (they didn't align it after replacing all the struts and wiped out 15K of wear on my front tires!) and an oil change. They did the alignment for free (and should have replaced two of my tires).

I forgave them this the alignment oops because we get extraordinary deals from dealer on new cars because we know the dealership owners and the family has bought a hundred cars from them.

There was a second oops during this service, my "change the oil soon" message just came on. I called the dealer to find out if I could just reset it or if they had to. Well, I can. The method: put the key in the on position without starting the car, press the gas pedal down three times quickly, and turn the key off.

It worked. And that is the weirdest thing I've heard in a long time.
