Literally ten full hours after arriving to the shop, my car was finished.\u00a0 The shop obviously knew I was salivating at the opportunity to rip some new ass holes to anyone who honestly thought I was going to pay the full cost of the repairs, and provided almost zero resistance to when I explained to them in a cold, anger-filled tone, that I was not happy with the way things went.\u00a0 Unlike many people who drop their cars off, have a family member or close friend pick them up, do their merry little shit, and then returned when beckoned, this is a luxury that I do not have.\u00a0 Why I should be penalized for lackadaisical work, and literally my entire functional day wasted was not an option I was going to accept.<\/span><\/p>\n

7:25 a.m. – Arrival, explanation of problem (bearings or CV axle\/joint\/boot)
\n9:20 a.m. – Car actually goes in
\n1:15 p.m. – I inquire to find out that my rotors have been machined despite them not likely being the problem
\n1:43 p.m. – Problem found (bearings, like I suspected)
\n5:25 p.m. – Car fixed<\/span><\/p>\n

Ten hours.\u00a0 They offered me $70 off of what would have been roughly close to $600 with the taxes and egregious labor factored in.\u00a0 I insisted on an even $100.\u00a0 I may be pissed, and actually want the service done completely gratis, but I’m also not illogical, and I know these people need to pay bills too.\u00a0 So in the end, it’s $400+ but at least the horrendous grinding sound is gone (for now).\u00a0 I won’t stop clenching my anoos for at least seven days, since with the Lemon, there’s always the propensity that a follow-up problem must occur.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless, my weekend’s been a wash.\u00a0 Sundays don’t count to me, and my Saturday has thoroughly been ruined.\u00a0 Instead of going to karaoke tonight, since my financial rectum is bleeding, I think I’m going to stay home and watch some fucking Caribbean baseball instead.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
