then he told me they dont use honda OEM boots its some generic brand. that made me more pissed cause when i first got them done they told me it was OEM.
there goes another 200 bux on nothing.
This is why i don't let anyone else do the work on my car. They just assume you wont know the difference, so they half-ass the work.
You wouldn't believe how much money I've wasted getting ripped off by shops over the years... it makes me sick just to think about it. Now, nobody touches my car but me and my roommate. :thumbup:
