| Replaced the filter today . Only needed one band aid . Shouldn't have told my wife it was easy peasy , I guess . When I first started I saw something green that looked out of place . Pulled out a 20" Matco pry bar UP41G . Tech must've left it in Nov when the dealer replaced our water pump . Gonna call the dealer Mon and tell him I'll return it for a free oil change . Wish me luck ! |

Dealer will probably deny that it was theirs since the tech has already had to pay for a new one out of their own pocket. Lots of luck on getting that free oil change. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

| If it was yours would you want to pay to get it back? I have left tools behind. Usually managed to get them back. A real nice gesture to return stuff that is not yours and not forgotten. If you tried to charge me for my own tool I would also not forget that. |

Yes return it. They should thank you for that.

| Mechanics buy their own tools and they will remember your gesture, better to be honest and they may get you a car wash next time it comes in rather than knock the weights off your tires or delay quick services. |

| Thanks guys. Have no receipts so don't know who worked on it. I'd like to return it to him in person. I'll figure something out. |

Talk to the service manager. He should know who worked on your vehicle. |

The best gesture would be to personally return it to the mechanic. He will appreciate it. In my previous post I meant that the dealership wouldn't give a rat's arse about getting it back. Tools are expensive, especially when purchased off of the tool truck and the mechanic has to buy his own. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

call the dealer , ask who the tech was that replaced water pump(they WILL know..). why ? Wanted to come by and thank him for a great job. WHEN you know who the tech is, drop by (few days later), thank him then ask did you lose a tool back then ? IF so, THEN present him with the pry bar. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |
