do not get work done at pep boys....

this is what i received back from a "technician" at pep boys after i sent my upper arms in with bushings in place to have them "pressed" in. from the looks of it, he took a hammer, a vice and a big fing hammer to this arm and totaled it. the arm is unusable at this point. note the paint chipping at the ball joint mounting surface. also, note the bushing tweaked to hell and the one stem of the arm bent so far out of place it no longer aligns with the cross shaft and now binds up in rotation.

i will be going back there to talk to the service manager but i dont think it will get me anywhere. oh well........ lesson learned. all i can do is warn you guys.

That blows! I would have to raise hell until they make it right if I were you! I am amazed. I have never seen such shoddy mechanic work done by so called "professionals". Don't Pep Boys workers have to be certified?

 

fixed

 

yeah let me tell you bout that lil certified sh** its a written test thats it the sign here__________congradulations the only people that know what there talking bout here are the ones with prior background thats all i live breath and eat this game up i love to work on cars and trucks and its a$$holes like this that give mechanics the bad rap im seriously proably more fired up over this than you i cant stand someone that half a$$ does something with someone elses stuff or just generaly dont care ok i need smoke now btw sry for the screw up you had to go trough hope you got something free outta it lol

 

Same with Wal Mart and batteries. I told my grandfather to have me install a new one for him in his 1991 Stealth Twin Turbo, he goes to pick it up in an hour, only to find them cleaning up gear oil and pushing it into the parking lot. F***ers dropped a wrench inside, destroyed the transaxle. At least they're footing the bill for a new one.

 

dude...why did you go there...you need to pm me. im a tech in SAN DIEGO, i have access to presses...

 

pics arent working. but yea as dude above said i would raise hell

 

Probly cause it's an old thread and he erased the pics.

 

lol why did this random thread get bumped? i didnt look at the date

 

Sometimes people don't look at the dates, I've done it numerous times.

 

yea wtf? who bumped this thread dammit...

 

the moral of the story is....



change oil yourself? i think lol
