Today, after my car being in the shop for over a day and with no updates from the dealership, I decided to pay them a visit. The place was almost empty, and they hadn't done any work on my car. But judging by the used condom on my back seat, somebody got their own oil checked. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I took my car into the shop to get a minor problem fixed. I left several hours later, without my car. Why? The mechanic crashed it while out on a test drive to make sure he'd fixed the problem. FML
Today, while at work in the service department of a car dealership, I sat in the driver seat of an old man's car to get the mileage. He'd just pissed in the seat. FML
Today, I picked my car up from the shop. After 5 minutes I noticed the oil and check engine light on. I pulled over, then the engine shut off completely. Turns out they forgot to put oil back in my car. I'll be needing a new engine. FML
Today, I dropped my car off at the dealership for a bumper replacement due to a hit and run in a parking lot. After being told it was ready, their shuttle picked me up, and backed up into my just-replaced bumper. FML
Today, my car broke down because someone stuck a dildo in the tail pipe. I'd parked in my driveway. FML
Today, I got my car back from the repair shop. After paying $400 for them to fix the scratches on the driver's side door, some one decided to key both sides of my car while I was on my lunch break from work. FML
Today, my car broke down because it couldn't wait two more days for an oil change. Now it might be FUBAR. FML
Today, being the man of the house, I decided to work on the car. Long story short, there's a towel in my transmission. FML
Today, I bought a used car from a private dealer my parents had recommended. On my way home they called to tell me that their car broke down. They bought it last week from the same guy. FML
Today, I took my car in because of a strange rattling noise. The mechanic charged me nothing, just handed me back my reusable water bottle that had been rolling around under the passenger seat for three months. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

The dealership was almost as empty as whoever's balls are now that was in your backseat.

Unprofessional and unsanitary. My condolences.

You've got to look for the positive in every situation. At least they were practising safe sex?

Was your car slow? Maybe they burned rubber.

I am going to assume you are not going to buy from them again...

This is a lot more serious than people seem to think. I would take photos and threaten to file a complaint with the better business bureau. The owner/manager should be able to get your car fixed free of charge. Then don't ever go back there again.

This is FML, not what should I do? Just enjoy that it wasn't your car!

I totally agree! Way too many people on here saying "get a discount." A mere discount would be an insult.

I think it's time to go to a new garage to get your car fixed...

YDI for going to a dealership to have your car serviced. Insurance towed my car to a dealership one time when it wouldn't start. I then paid $200 out of pocket to have it towed elsewhere because the dealership wanted to charge $1200 and take 2 weeks for a job that took 1 day and cost $400. This isn't the first time, either, I always call around when I need to get my car serviced - the dealerships always charge at least 50% extra and often want to take weeks when everyone else will take hours. Sears is also pretty bad. Generally the best place has been Pep Boys, although sometimes local people will beat out the chains - they have less resources on hand normally, but if you're lucky they might have exactly what you need and not need to order anything to do your repair.

I never call anybody stupid but I will an exception with you. In no shape or form does the OP deserve to have someone from the car shop, have sex in his car. Even if it took them longer or a shorter time to fix, nobody can predict what kind of people are working there. Granted that you can get an idea off online reviews, but they mostly talk about the shop itself not the lack-of-morals of the mechanic.

What? I go to a "dealership" because my car has a three year warranty and I'm never out of pocket on things like tuneups or tire rotations. The OP didn't deserve this because you had bad experiences with them overcharging you. One has nothing to do with the other.

I would not expect the disrespecting of the customer's car at a dealership, or even a chain, but maybe at a small shop. Now I'm rethinking that.

Yes, because everyone has the money laying around to just buy a new car.
