So I mail my car dealer to get an appointment and also to arrange a replacement car, if the service takes longer than one hour. The answer: “No, a service is not necessary”.

I’m happy (saved some money) and drive to the car dealer today to get my tires changed. I ask again about the service, because I noticed that the oil is rather low, so I plan to ask them to top it up while the car is there. First, they did not have the sheet prepared for my tire change (must have forgotten it), and then the lady calls the chief of repairs to answer my questions. He told me that the service lamp is right and that I need a service – not just any old service, but a rather important one, even with The Changing Of The Spark Plugs and other important rituals!

Of course, they have no replacement car ready. Reception lady runs around for 10 minutes and finally gets a car for me. I will see how much I’ll have to pay for that and for the service.

So now I’m rather grumpy – and at work 1 hour earlier than planned.

Anyone knows a good VW (veee-dub!) shop in Linz? I need an alternative if they screw up one more time.

The ring-swapping and family-name-changing will take place on June 7th – I hope it will be a nice event.

Some of my friends announced the demand for a bachelors party thing – I’m not sure if I’m willing to submit to that Well, we will see.

There will be, of course, photos online later for those who could not make it to the ceremony.
