Cars in my shop

[Mangjura]

OK well as you guys may know I am not on here all too often. But I do work for a quick lube shop. Every so often I have a lincon or merc or even just a nice car come in.
I'll take pics of any that come in & put them in here.

[boXman]

U could at least blur the plate, out of respect for the owner...

[Mangjura]

OK plate is gone

[85crownHPP]

the guy in the 1st pic... how do you get that dirty changing oil????

[Mangjura]

Well that is simply because some of my fellow employes obviously do not know what a washing Machine is.

[85crownHPP]

they dont have a uniform service?? Ida thought any corprate place would

the shop right next to me does. I'd love to have a couple for when I work on my car.

[Mangjura]

Well actually they do. But our boss is freakin cheap as hell. "it costs too much money for EVERYONE to have the service". So only a select few get to use it. Mainly the bosses (in red) & ME :) "Super Lube Dude" I was really hyper that day

[85crownHPP]

your boss is a cheap asshole... id start thinking about moving up in the world...!

[Mangjura]

Here some more cars. Also Yes I know I NEED to move up in the world. I have been putting applications in .....well pretty mutch EVERYWHERE

[Mangjura]

And more

[Nathan in MI]

That '88-'89 doesn't have cruise control....interesting...

[gabegt90]

The cintas mang come and picks up our stuff

[gabegt90]

cintas picks up our stuff. it looks like in that interior pic of that vic that looks like a different turn signal highbeam switch?

[Mangjura]

Next time that guy comes in I'll ask him about any & all "custom" work he has done. I didn't really talk to him at all. He does take very good care of his car though.

Our guy is with Arrow & he come once a week.

[Lincolnmania]

one of my first automotive jobs was meineke mang......i worked there 2 yrs

[marquisman]

meineke does my brakes...cuz im george forman! lol sorry

[torquelover]

I was a quickie lube tech for a year. Best time of my life. Remember 3001 Oil Change in Merrillville right by Taft and US30? Fun times...

[Mangjura]

Yes I do remember 3001 ! I worked there when it was US30 fast lube!! That shop was owned buy George who also owned Aladdin Oil Change Oasis right down the street. I worked at Aladdin half of the week & the rest at US30.

Aside from that I have been at Oil Express in Hammond. All together I have been in the oil change business for over 11 years! I can & actualy have done an oil chane blindfolded.

Ofcorse I have had a couple other jobs but those are the most constant.

[torquelover]

Remember Linda? Is she still around? Cool woman. I think you missed working with Demetri. He left shortly after I quit. He was also cool as hell. I heard George sold out years ago. He actually gets his cars serviced by Oil Express in Valparaiso now, LOL. I'll have to swing by your shop when it gets nicer out.

[Mangjura]

Hell yea I remember Linda! She IS still there & still cool as ever. As far as I know Mike Nissan, Victor, & Lary are still there & The band is still together too. I don't know if they had the band when you were arround.

Did you know the owner of O.E. (Art) & George started out as partners? They went there seperate was because George just wanted the one shop & Art wanted to expand.

When you stop buy let me know a few days before so I can be shure I will be there. I wouldn't want some moron fucking up your car! All the guys are good but it seems like when I'm there noone has any problems at all.

[Mangjura]

OK wait a second..............Oil EXPRESS has 25 locations. With TWO in Indiana: Highland & Hammond. There is no Oil Express in Valpo. I'm thinking your talking about Oil Experts?

I work for Oil Express "The original".

[marquisman]

trippy, thats my bosses name as well...trippy lol

[Mangjura]

Heres the most recent merc in the shop

[Mangjura]

Here's some more. I really Like this one I mean REALLY LIKE IT.

[Dave84]

ohh nice, its got a sunroof

[torquelover]

How about some pics of the underside of the cars from the basement?

[86VickyLX]

Here's some more. I really Like this one I mean REALLY LIKE IT.

What year is that?

[Mangjura]

I'll start taking some from below & Ill start asking what year the cars are

[Mangjura]

I asked this guy the year but I completely forgot what he said. But I did remember to get the underside.

[torquelover]

Cool undercar pics. Who is that leaning all over that car's fender, BTW?

[Nathan in MI]

Hey, that car has the same hood prop mine does!

[Mangjura]

That's Danny the new manager at my shop. He's so fat he can't squwat easily so, like a dumbass he puts his greasy ass hand on the car to check the tire. He's pretty cool but he's a dumbass strubron drunk perverted asshole.

I'll get some more on here pretty soon.

We have got at least four of your hood props in the shop at all times :)

[Nathan in MI]

He's pretty cool but he's a dumbass strubron drunk perverted asshole.

:rofl::lol3:

[Mangjura]

Well I did have some more under carrage shots but, they were too dark. Sorry I'll keep getting them but I can't garentee my cam can do any better.

[Mangjura]

Heres another one:merk:

[Mangjura]

Well this one isn't a Merc or even a Ford but I think you might see why I put it in here.



Can anyone guess what it is ??

[79lincolnlover]

Grand Prix?

[Mangjura]

Yes but what year ?

[1987cp]

'72?

[P72Ford]

I'd go around that. '69-'72?

[Mercracer]

1970

[Mangjura]

I'd go around that. '69-'72?

One of these are right..............

[Mangjura]

We don't do the squad cars at our shop :ugha: But we can & DO service under cover cars:2up:

[85crownHPP]

you still working there?!?! tell your boss he needs to fix those busted tiles on the floor!! You could trip and hurt yourself and sue the place!!!

Oh and earlier I meant to guess that he doesnt spring for the rag service either??
Thats why the one dudes shirt is so filthy???

[Mangjura]

Well, we do replace those tiles about once every few years & yea I know it's about time. There just a pain in the ass & we are all lazy as all hell.

And Yes we do have the rag service & it IS paid for by the company............If you choose to use it. That gys name is Joe & he decided to wear his own shirt. The next day after I took that pic I brought him an Oil Express T shirt that I had from a few years ago. Now he is wearing a dark blue shirt with the "O.E." globe on the back & the "O.E." logo on the frount. He looks a LOT cleaner now.

[Mangjura]

This one belongs on this site !

It is a very light blue & VERY clean I like it. The owner said he's going to get it painted next month.

[Mangjura]

Ok yes I know this is a Shitvy oops I mean Chevy. But I like the car so here it is. It's a 68.


I absolutely LOVE the exhaust......NO CATS ! That means No emissions bull shit !! I wish I had a nice old car :bawling:

[P72Ford]

My dad had a friend that loved those cars. He had a half dozen ranging from '65-'69. No convertibles for him though.

What engine was in that? Looks like a TH400 trans (judging by the pan shape); perhaps a big block car?

[79lincolnlover]

That tudor rocks!

[Mangjura]

I didn't get a chance to ask many questions the guy was in a hurry. Pretty much all I was able to find out is that he LOVES his car & that it is a '68
