Default F*cking mechanic

When I got my clutch replaced the idiot of a mechanic forgot to connect the coolant sensor. So it threw a CEL, he needed to check the code behind the glove box. Well the bastard broke my glove box, didn't even tell me and I know when I confront him he will deny he even did it.

Thats it I am getting AAA Plus so I can have my car towed to our own mechanic. Twice I had to get the car worked on by someone else and the first time they broke my front axle and now my glove box.

Wouldn't you be? You pay $465 to get your car fixed, they break something and don't have the decency to tell you.

Discount tires scratched the sh!t out of my rims. And for some reason they thought they would get creative with my tire placement. I have the slightly more used tires on the back for a reason.... but the rims are DIY painted so I could fix em myself.
I'm not going back there though, even though I had thought they were cool.

fvck dude, same here. discount tires total scratched and dented one of my rims. it pissed and still pisses the shit out of me whenever i see it. albeit i did get an upgrade in tires because bitching and yelling does wonders, they never admitted that they screwed up my flawless rims. damn mechanics.

DT hooked me up on some tires once with some good discounts and I was thinking they were cool as fawk, but they just changed my perception big time.

See, I had two half tread tires on the back, and two new ones on the front. Well one of the new ones went flat and I drove on it for a couple of miles before I could get stopped and change it, and I just don't trust that tire to go 80 any more, so I got a new one.

The guy was like, we put the new one on the back because otherwise it will cause your car to pull to one side on the front. Well come to me and tell me what you plan to do since I didn't authorize anything other than changing the one up front.

I hate it when people do work before telling you they're going to do it, even more if it's gonna cost more than you orignally thought.
I had a scratched rim on top of that. :wtf:
