Default ugh, bad mechanics make me mad

K so today, just got my 95 back after 7 months of it gettin fixed(hit a pole in Feb). WEll i got up to it i was pretty excited and ther were some small runs on the side skirt. which iw wasnt really mad about the whole car was basically redone. Then i got in it to test it out and the speedo was wayyy off. So i kept drivin the Headlights didnt work and then i drove some more and i heard a little grinding sound.. So i push in the clutch and the grindin goes away. the damn mechanic put my rear end gears in wrong. so looks like i get to have a little chat with him tomorrow...

Just think, if you hadn't hit that pole back in February, you wouldn't have met the "bad mechanic". There's a lesson here somewhere!]

You go to a stealership or a private garage? There's pros an cons to each but at least they warranty their work at the stealership. Insurance usually gives a lifetime warranty on repairs as well.
