Clean Detox Manual: Fill & Download for Free

Auto-mobile Service Sector. Always read your vehicle’s owner’s manual!Not sure, if this topic was already brought up but with my experiences, I am tempted to write this version of mine.Be prepared to sacrifice some of your time, as the answer is long. Pay attention because it is not a song! Some of my experiences may be a ding-dong to your knowledge.Automobile scams isn’t something that happens only in India but all over the world.I own a Chevrolet Enjoy back from Apr’15 bought it 1st handed from the dealership in my district.I know it isn’t a great car, the engine isn’t powerful and is a bit expensive considering other cars in the same segment available in the market. And the model was discontinued in mid 2016 and now Chevrolet are closing their doors to business in India by the end of Dec’17. But the comfort it offered was pretty much more than any car available at the price segment and bought it.For straight 2 years, the car was serviced at the dealership and not a single time, it was serviced else apart the dealership and we did everything that was advised by the service adviser. Regular oil check ups and filters were replaced as they advised. This was the first car we ever owned and never had the idea of how much long an oil change would last and when it was necessary to replace the filters and etc.Also, in no circumstances, was I allowed inside their garage.They even had a board saying, “Customers are not allowed inside the garage”. I always had a bad feel about this and in the up coming days, I found it out myself.Once during my regular visit (Happened to be the last) I happened to get furious when one of the technicians didnt align the car properly on to the hydraulic jack to hoist it up and the car slipped when all the four wheels were 5 feet above ground. It made a loud ‘thud’ and landedd on the left arm of the hydraulic jack while and made significant amount of damage to the under side of my car. The run strip or the running board in the left was battered at the front and the back, good thing it was only the runstrip and not the sides of the door or else where.And when I asked them to fix it, they just came in with a bunch of pliers and mallet to fix the bent portion of the run strip, though the car was under warranty at that time, the said that the jockey wasn’t of good condition and so on. I was not given proper treatment and after a long heated talk with all the managers in the dealership, I took my car out without them even to touch my car for service. By now, I’ve driven 1,00,000 km and it was 1 year and 11 months.This is when I came to a all car service in my locality, I was nervous the first time and so I stayed with my car during the entire process of service. And didn’t leave it at all, constantly asking the technician thousands of question about the car. Boy, was he calm enough to answer all my questions.Finally I asked him about the service had been done so far while in the garage, he said that, it is hard to say and cannot be judged by the looks of each fluid. The real turn about came when I got the bill with just 2,850Rs (before GST came into effect) which included the engine oil, oil filter as well as an engine coolant change. Which I found hard to believe but then, I was all along with him and this is what happened. Whereas the same process in the dealership would cost me about 6800Rs.Nowadays, I just get my car to the all car service station and have a developed a good friendship with all the technicians there. And with my car now not being in production, I can get to know how to get spares just as when need and not needing to pay huge amounts in terms of parts and labor to the dealer. I can get them fixed on my own or I just take it to my friendly technicians garage.All this was my story and still longing from some real hefty scam? Need some tips on getting saved? Just go through below.(All the following points are which I’ve gathered along the course of time and you are most welcome to share them with your friends and educate them about it).First and Foremost rule ALWAYS READ YOUR VEHICLE’S OWNER’S MANUAL. Most of the time, the periodicity of checkups and service be it, oil change or anything for your vehicle the one mentioned in the book and the one claimed by the dealer would be different. (After all the dealer needs sale in some sorts).Service Advisers/Technicians will try selling almost anything from a mandatory service to optional service. (Heck 5000Rs for an oil change and 3500Rs of Wax and polish for 60,000km car??) After all, the service guy need to make a commission.This is one thing most dealers fool people off. “Flushing”. Be it Oil Flushing, Coolant flushing or power steering flushing. It is Not needed at all!. In technical words, flushing can only do more harm than good!. And then charge you for a significant amount.AC Check! Boy do they know how to play on this one. In most cases, they just insert a temperature probe in the vent and take the car of a spin and tell you that it is working fine and no issues and gives a cooling of 5 degree C. But drive along in hot summer day and you’ll feel that the AC in not enough. It is probably because, they measured it wrong. Take your car and they’ll measure the ambient cabin temp and not the one directly from the vents. Also do note this. Lets say that you have this issue and get it to a dealer, they say the car needs an AC refrigerant top-up and charge you for more. Also in some cases, there is the issue of the AC Compressor not working well. (This happened to me and They tried AC coolant top up twice and each top up lasted only about for a week). Later a local AC Specialist found that my compressor is jammed.Air filters! This is an easy take for them. Each time you need to get the car serviced (In my case 10,000kms), they swap a new for the old one. Costing 250–450Rs. But in reality carefully removing the air filter and dusting it and using vacuum to suck up the dirt from the dirt side and and reusing them for another 10,000km is possible. Just make sure that there are no holes in the filter otherwise, you need to replace it.Brake/Clutch fluid: Be sure to check your owner’s manual before they even make you to buy this. After all it is the same company which printed the manual made the same car. So, I’d prefer you to stick to the manual.Rust and body paints: Each manufacturer has their own warranty in terms of rust and body paint issues. This is also mentioned in the owner’s manual and be sure to know it, as in my case, I was refused service when I found a rust patch between the hinges of my front panel and the hood.Don’t add any additives! Once you just put your word that you don’t feel the power right as you put your foot on the pedal, the service guy would offer using additives in the least expensive cases. DO NOTE that most manufacturers claim that by doing so you are actually voiding your own warranty!. And some service guys might just feed this idea into your mind sneakily and not mention a word about warranty issues. Also, do note this, additives is acceptable on a range of cars after 2,00,000 kms and even so adding additives to fuel or oil regularly is not a good idea.Saying “NO” to what you dont want: The only thing which you needed to be serviced was just an engine oil change but they scare you saying, “Brake oil is dull, coolant has turned it’s color, power steering fluid has a burnt smell…. blah…. blah…”. They are just trying to sell more. Commonly called “Upscaling”. This is a common tactic and yeah, they get a commission basically for selling more!.Power Steering oil: Generally the power steering oil is dark in color and has a burnt smell. Usually the color ranges from a dark pink-brown to brown color. Trust me it is normal. Usually the service guys creep you out as it is burnt and the steering is heavy and compel you to change it. But it is not needed. However check your vehicle’s owner’s manual for when it should be changed.Engine oil coolant: There are 2 types of coolant, one is an Ethylene Glycol mix variant and the other is detox(Not sure about the name will update it ASAP) type. Make sure about the type your car uses. If you are not so technical, just look at the color. The former is greenish yellow/green color and the latter is reddish brown color. And typically the coolant need not be replaced until for a min of 30,000kms. Because, they are long life coolant. However check your vehicle’s owner’s manual for when it should be changed.Water wash! Undauntedly the most pathetic act of plundering your money. With 3 buckets of water you can clean up a hatch back well. But what these guys do is, water the car exterior and bottom. Then vacuum the car. Good. But What else, Dash board trim polish, interior plastic shine! Now the bill goes to 650–750Rs. Why the hell did you put those two polish which I never needed when all I wanted was just a Water wash which could have been between 250–350Rs. Oh! not to mention gst! 28% for a fucking water wash!Wheel alignment and balancing: For best treatment visit authorized tyre care center. One can guess the alignment is out of phase by just driving it. But balancing, most of the time, they just dont do it but yet charge you. And the price at the dealership is expensive. Another tip. Check alignment for every 5000–6000kms.Not all oils and fluid need constant change. Fluids such as Engine coolant, brake oil, power steering oil, clutch pad fluid, transmission oil, axle fluid need not be changed at each 10,000km and can last to about 20,000km. However check your vehicle’s owner’s manual.Always verify the changed part before you walk away. Be it the dealership or any garage. Do check what has been replaced.Always check if the oils were changed. Some garages or dealership dont change oil for what they were asked for and yet claim they’ve done the service and you are need to pay.Learn to say “No” if they offend you: The service guy would definitely compel you to buy some additional services which are not needed and are optional. Say a big NO! and ask him/her to just do the needful. If the particular dealership isn’t allowing with the choice of your service requirement based on the owner’s manual, you can very well call the customer care of the manufacturer and have the dealer reported. (I have done this twice and I received royal treatment :P).Look for the particulars in the bill: Ok! I know you are a hard working guy and you probably dont have time to read the bill. But remember it is your hard earned money that is they are trying to snatch from you in broad day light. At times, they might add up some things which they never did. Possibly the technician forgot it or possibly it was to plunder money. Be Aware.I know I have been against the dealer in most of my points, but hey! this can also happen at any garage! Be cautious at all times. Because it is your car and it is your life!.Also, please note that, I am not against all dealerships and service guys and garages. Some are legit and some crooked beyond comparison. If you aren’t aware, you’d be drained off your money.I know you are a hard worker and dont have time to look up for your car! I get it! no worries. Even I dont have the time and sometimes, I end up taking a day off just for the car in worst scenario.But hey, Picture this, you are going in your car with your family on the highway at 100kmph and suddenly the truck in front of you is changing lane and cuts you off your lane. Which part of the car would you put your trust on? (I’d put my trust on all the thousands of pieces of parts that make up my car). On the other hand. Well, if you earn a lot and dont mind buying a new car once in less than 3 months, you can ignore everything you just read ;PIt is not just CARS! Bikes, Trucks and what else?? Keep an eye open always. I have a colleague of mine who just bought a Honda Unicorn 2017 model, 2 weeks ago and he’s having a bad time with the dealer because he has only driven 30kms till date.If you want to know about his story, let me know in the comments and I’ll put it down.If you want to know more about on how to fix minor services at home, I’d suggest you to look up to these two YouTube Channels.Chris Fix: He teaches you how easily you can fix your car and also lets you know where you can get the things needed for the service also a hundreds of DO’s and DONT’s. Here is the link ChrisFixScotty Kilmer: He’s almost 70 years old and still look at this guys enthusiasm and the fact that he doesn’t want to spend his days on a rocking chair complaining about neighbours. He teaches and shows what could be possibly wrong in the easiest way. BTW pay special attention to his intro and ending in each video. Just wonder how he’d have spent his youth age. Here is the link Scotty Kilmer. “Rev up your engine”!! says it with a bang! ;) love this guy.These are the two channels which I watch the most in terms of fixing and if you are really into cars and wish to know about every car and how the engineering behind it works, look up to Enginnering Explained. Here is the link. Engineering Explained.If you happen to know any such channels, let me know and will add them to the list.Happy and Safe driving ahead :)PS: Updates on the list of channels from the commentsEricTheCarGuy through his channel, he teaches you on how to fix things and what really stands apart is his description and attention to the details.

The first time I went to drug rehab, I was scared to death, excited, sad and overwhelmed with so many other intense feelings and emotions.After a week of detoxing from heroin, I started feeling pretty good. I made some friends and that sunken-eyed, death look that I had worn for more than a decade, was slowly being replaced with a brightness I’d forgotten even existed.I made two close friends; I’ll call them Tim and Barry for this story. As we approached our graduation from rehab, our insurance companies approved each of us for a 90-day stay at the same halfway house. To say that we were excited to be on this recovery journey together would be an understatement.We graduated within a few days of each other and were transported to a halfway house about three miles north of Philadelphia.Our first week at the halfway house together was spent at meetings and setting up our bedrooms. Tim and Barry both had money sent to them by their spouses. My parents sent me three hundred dollars.Our second week there, on Saturday, we decided to go into the city to buy some clothes. The reality of it was we wanted to get high — and the city was the place to do that. We just didn’t say it to each other. We were co-signing each other’s bullshit and in denial about who we really were.I was taking prescribed Revia, which is an opioid blocker, so heroin wouldn’t have had any effect on me. I found a cocaine dealer and bought a needle from a streetwalker. Tim and Barry both bought heroin.I took them to a spot I had frequented, under a bridge (how cliche) on some train tracks. Tim shot up first as I watched on with nervous excitement. I got my shot of cocaine ready. Before I could finish mixing my shot, Barry overdosed and fell face first onto the steel train tracks. Now I’ve seen plenty of people overdose on heroin and when I had, I provided aid. But this time was different. I didn’t care. I just wanted to get high. I wanted a release. After Tim and I got high, we pulled Barry off the tracks and checked for a pulse. He was still alive, but we left him to lie there beside the train tracks and walked away.When we got back to the halfway house, it was all eyes on us. Addicts know when another addict is getting high. We can just smell it in each other’s behavior and mannerisms. We knew we were screwed.The counselors asked me and Tim where Barry was. We told them we had no idea and stuck to our story. They drug tested both of us. We both failed and they started the discharge process which was nothing more than having us pack our bags and putting us on the streets.We spent the next month together walking the cold city streets, panhandling and stealing what we could to support our habits.Eventually, we went our separate ways. I ended up going back to rehab. When I shared that story with my counselor and told her that I hated myself for what I had done, she told me that I needed to learn to love myself.What I did when she said that was the same thing I always do when someone says that. I dismissed that advice as hollow. It’s so goddamn easy to tell me to love myself but unless that advice comes with a detailed instruction manual, it does little more than further isolate me and make me feel like a failure because I don’t understand how to love myself when I think about the things I’ve done. And the reality of it is, we are our actions. I am what I’ve done.With the little bit of clean time I’ve accumulated, I see that now more than ever. I see who I am. I remember almost everything I’ve done.I can’t escape me.*Names changed**Comments disabled for personal and private reasons. Thank you for understanding*Leon

Shop vac. Unplug your negative battery cable first. Be careful of the wiring on the amp and I recommend using An upholstery attachment to keep from damaging your speakers with the suction.Hope that helps.PS- drink LOTS OF JUICE, NO DAIRY, NO ANTACIDS. keep your pee as acidic as you can, and it will act like an amine MAGNET, pulling that nastiness out of your kidneys, into your pee and then out the door. If you are worried about a drug test/UA… keep your pee acidic until the day of the test, then on the day of, do the opposite. Don't drink juices or eat a jar of pickles that day. Drink a huge glass of milk every few hours. That will keep the amines from being accepted by your not-acidic-enough pee as readily. After your UA drink some juice tho cuz that shit will fuck up your kidneys if it can't get into your bladder and out of your body… otherwise the fastest to get your dope out of your body where it belongs is by abstaining for 72 hours straight after which you will be able to pass a urine test. Hair tests tho you're still screwed.PPS:Don't do meth. Silly. Be safe. Good luck with your system.Hope that helps.Getting Off Right Safety ManualJust in case you feel like reading something that might save your ass someday!
