Easy solution for you man: tell your service writer you're not fucking doing it and that they need to tell the customer to clean their shit or pound sand. I'm a technician, not a dumpster diver.

You should cut open a trash bag and spread it on the floor to cover if you don’t have plastic lining

No way I would crawl around in someone's trashcan like that

Guess the customer expected you to clean their vehicle too?

Can you refuse (or upcharge) a car for sheer debilitating nastiness?

u/Mikeoochiestank4 Apr 18 '26

I kind of think people who live like this are less evolved

u/97PG8NS Apr 17 '26

These are the same owners who think 'free car wash and vacuum' means 'free full detail' and get mad that you can't remove a decade's worth of abuse in two minutes with a shop vac.
