Default very unhappy with last mechanic visit

So for the last 3 weeks i have been so excited because yesterday i had an appointment to get all my new stuff put on my teg.

KYB AGX shocks
4 strut braces
polyurathane bushings
glow gauges
high flow cat

Well he broke one of the struts and had to order some new shit. So i had to leave the car overnight which meant that i missed work last night. NOT GOOD. Then today i went to get it and i pay 200$ even. I get in my car and the bushings, gauges, and cat are all laying in the back seat. So i asked him about it and he said he didn't "understand" the bushings. And also that my highflow cat wasn't good enough. And, he didn't have enough time to do gauges. I was most excited about the cat because it is the current bottleneck in my exhaust system. to top it off, i feel no difference whatsoever with the new shocks/struts. It almost looks like they painted my stock shocks. they are red and looks like a shitty paint job. Feels like a big waste of money. After the turbo next month im done.

WTF kind of "shop" did you take it to that didn't understand the bushings. :ugh:

you could've done that work yourself and saved $200 and the headaches.

I don't trust mechanics, which is why I do my own work. You should play around with the shock adjustments so it feels "different" to you, or the way you want it.
