Default STUPID SHOPS

I SWEAR, I HATE CAR SHOPS. It turns out the shop i took my mustang too, couldn't get the control arm bolts off. They said there seized up. HAHA, i just put them on, and i promise, i can go and bust them loose right now. I cant believe this crap.

oh you dont even know about spare tire problems....sweet jesus.....

ok....so a few years ago my aunt took her car to a sears type place to get new tires....anyways....it was there for about a week and they never did a damn thing because they just were "positive" that her brand new car didnt come with a spare tire. as you can imagine....this angered my aunt...but more so my uncle.....WHAT CAR DOSENT COME WITH A SPARE? can car manufactuer even do that???? theres gotta be some sort of a law against it unless its a special car...this is a friggin minivan....anyways...after a yelling match on the phone he had to go down there and show them where the tire was that needed fixing.....morons....i can only imagine their reactions to my uncle pulling out the spare from the compartment.....what a joke of a car shop......what car people could even begin to tell you a common minivan dosent come with a spare? these people call themselves professionals too.....thats scary...


cant get new bolts off?? can you say...pansy?


i wonder if they need help opening plastic soda bottle caps too...

Update on that. I took the car down to my shop, and i just put the smallest amount of pressure on the nut, and it turned SO easy. They were saying its seized up, and stripped. HAHAHAHA, idiots. I went and installed more shims on the driver side to correct cambero and caster. It looks better.
