One
of our drivers had an issue with the passenger side window of his cab and it
was decided that it was time to take it to the shop for a repair. The shop had the taxi for a few
days. When the driver returned the window
was fixed – somewhat.
Turns
out the shop did not put much time into diagnosing the root of the problem – so
they applied a quick fix. Since
the issue seemed to be the friction of the window against its frame as it was
ascending/retracting the mechanic figured that the best way to solve the
problem would be to OIL THE WINDOWS.
Not oil some interior components located within the door/window
mechanisms, but to just smear oil all over the windows. And not just the window in question,
but all the windows. Preventative
maintenance?
Now,
there is a opaque, oily film on all of the windows. The driver spent a good hour degreasing the windows and
trying to remedy the shoddy work – although “shoddy” would be an
understatement. OILING THE
WINDOWS??? What will they think of
next? Maybe next time he brings
the car into the shop they can oil the windshield, or oil the wiperblades.
