Ok
Monday, i call a local machine shop, trying to avoid going to my regular one, because it wasn't anything major, just a dip in the hot tank, Cost for FULL CLEAN, of stock Intake was quoted $20

This Morning, i call to ask the turnaround period and debated going to my regular shop, i had a bad feeling, 5 hour turn around, so i WALK 2 miles with this thing, with a rope tired trough it carrying it by my side...
2 hours later, its now noon, i just get there sweaty as hell, despite it being 25 degrees out...
drop it off to be HOT TANKED/FULL CLEAN, the price is now 35 dollars, so i dropped it off hoping not to wast my time and effort walking there.

5 Hours later, i get a call its "done" i can come get it, the place closes at 5:30 and it was 5, so i called up a friend of mine and wound up having to pa him 10 dollars to go get it, he has little mechanical knowledge nor was it his duty to inspect the job....
so 45 dollars down.... AND>>>>>





clean right?

there is paint peeling off in the same places as before, gunk underneath that comes off with your finger, debris in the runners. The only clean spot on this thing is where i attempted to clean it.... oh and they used a clean up wheel on the carb mounting surface, thats all i can find....

DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT

 

wtf!! they didnt even touch it

 

give it back to them and tell them to do it right. I wouldn't have even accepted it or paid for it.

 

2 things

1. find a friend that isnt a cheap *** and takes $10 bucks

2. buy a wire brush for a drill,some Castrol Super clean and save the rest for beer next time.

 

Not old enough for the second half of number 2. Unless it is root beer.

 

Make them do it again.

 

he didn't need the 10 bucks
he just lost his job though, and i wanted to help him out for doing me a favor
also, like i said it was closing time when i picked it up, so, next week im shoving it up their you know what.
i specifically asked if they had a hot tank also, not one of those power washing booths

 

what a forking kick in the teeth, they see a kid walk through the door, and assume they can get over on me, guess what ****ty machine shop, this is gonna haunt you if you dont make it right....

 

Tie a note to it telling them that you will pick it up Monday afternoon.. Throw it through their window. Problem solved.

 

im with valley on this one.
