Yeah, well consider your(self or buddy) lucky that it got fixed and for relatively cheap. I was going to get the same service done to my car a few years ago but my normal mechanic was closed so I went to this "other place". They did a great job with the plug and I was happy, left the building and got into my car. Pulled out my keys from their stupid little "don't forget which keyes go with which car" bag and go to start the car. Woops, WTF, the upper thumb rest fell off! It was GLUED!!!! Those bastards. I storm into the building and kick up a **** storm infront of all the customers. A lady that was looking for tires left the store and drove off. They wouldn't even pay for it saying it was my fault for having a "loose" ignition assembly. I looked at him and said you better get your lawyer because we're going to find out who's at fault. The manager offered to re-glue the thing on and I was like... um, notice what just happened about 30 seconds ago? He then asked how much it would cost in parts and I said give me my money back for the tire plug and I'll just never come back here again. He did and I was gone. Let's just say there are other stories to be told about this "other place" that go so far as sabatage to make more money. Can you believe this; Friends Lexus goes in for tire rotation, they talk him into an alignment and he doesn't leave but a 1/4 mile down the road and the thing was vibrating so bad that it stalled. He crawled back to them and they proceded to rape him for more. Then there's the time they ordered the wrong brake pads and they wouldn't fit so they ground down the pad to fit instead of getting the correct part. I'm sorry but does that sound at all like a special on 60-minutes?
