Default dont you hate mechanics

well i crashed my mustang on jan 2nd and ever since i got it back its been sqeaking bad. so i took it in today and appearantley the sqeaking was coming from a broken driveline they never fixed lol.... so they said that there gunna have the estimator come in tomorrow to look at it then there gunna get the peices for me. but they wont have the peices until monday... but friday and saturdays are the only days for me to see my girlfreind and on monday i was gunna get my exhaust done so im just gunna pick it up on friday, and have them fix it next tuesday... the whole time while i was talking to the manager he was telling me that i shouldnt pick it up friday because its a miracle i hadnt crashed it yet and that its extremely not safe to drive. but ive been driving with it like this for 2 months, whats another 3 days????

I hate them too, especially having to spend the better part of a whole day (or weeks in your case) getting them to do something right.

However, my car is now out in the garage on four jackstands, I just relocated my LCA's back into the lower bracket holes because moving them to the top ones didn't correct my noise issue and now I'm going to have to readjust my shifter to move it up off the driveshaft and then go for multiple rides trying to hunt down the squeaking/popping noise (probably similar to yours) that I will probably never find and eventually have to pay one of those bastards anyway in the end.

You're not in that bad of a position lol.
