A Campbell River man put Midas Muffler香蕉视频直播檚 lifetime guarantee to the test lately when he brought in his 30-year-old muffler for replacement.

香蕉视频直播淚 got this Midas Muffler guarantee, lifetime guarantee as long as you own the vehicle,香蕉视频直播� Richard Miller said.

Miller owns a beautiful, cherry red and white 1966 Mercury pickup truck that he restored 30 years ago in North Vancouver, which included getting a new muffler and tail pipe put on it in 1994.

香蕉视频直播淚 discovered a few weeks ago, I香蕉视频直播檝e got a hole in my muffler and I kept this in the glove compartment,香蕉视频直播� he said holding up a Midas Muffler guarantee in a branded envelope. 香蕉视频直播淚 go to Midas (in Campbell River) and I said, 香蕉视频直播業香蕉视频直播檝e got a guarantee, are you gonna honour it?香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈��

He said there was a little bit of humming and hawing 香蕉视频直播渂ecause they香蕉视频直播檙e like, 香蕉视频直播楴obody keeps a vehicle for 30 years.香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈��

In addition, the guarantee says on it that after one year, there is a service charge of $9.95 to replace the muffler, and the local dealer called up head office to get some direction. He came back with 香蕉视频直播淵ep, we香蕉视频直播檙e going to honour it.香蕉视频直播�

Their computer didn香蕉视频直播檛 have anyway to process the $9.95 so they didn香蕉视频直播檛 even charge them the service fee.

香蕉视频直播淪o, I got my free muffler,香蕉视频直播� Miller said. 香蕉视频直播淣ow, I thought that was really, really good of them after 30 years.香蕉视频直播�

The whole situation put Miller in mind of an old Midas Muffler TV ad from 1975 when they launched the guarantee. It involves 香蕉视频直播極ld Man Crane香蕉视频直播� rolling into the Midas Muffler shop in his old Ford Model A.

香蕉视频直播淎nd the boys are standing there. 香蕉视频直播楳r. Crane, we haven香蕉视频直播檛 seen Old Man Crane since 香蕉视频直播� and he interrupts, 香蕉视频直播業香蕉视频直播檝e got this Midas guarantee that says that Annabelle here is going to get a free muffler.香蕉视频直播� And they give him a free muffler. So, I香蕉视频直播檓 Mr. Crane!香蕉视频直播� Miller said with a laugh.

Miller香蕉视频直播檚 1966 Mercury pickup hasn香蕉视频直播檛 exactly been sitting idle for 30 years but he does baby it.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檝e only put 30,000 miles on the truck since 1994,香蕉视频直播� he said.

So, he香蕉视频直播檚 a little surprised that the muffler rusted enough to get a hole in it.
