All I wanted was the rear brake pads replaced and the muffler put back on my car..
>uhh sir your rotors are fucked because it's metal on metal and it is illegal to put new pads on these tucked rotors please pay $800
So I say tucked off, go buy the rotors for $106 and the pads for $67 and then what do you know?
The old ones aren't even tucked there is a good 20,000km left on them wtf is wrong with these scamming cunts?
The only reason I go to them is because I work 6 days a week 10-12 hours a day not because I am a fucking retard and can't do it myself.
And for icing on the cake I asked them to put my muffler back on, they cut the $70 cable ties holding the exhaust manifold to the frame and expected the 2 rubber mounts on the muffler to hold my $3000 twin 3 inch exhaust system on the car resulting in the muffler falling off and the manifold scraping along the ground at 110kmh not even 20km after I left the shop...
Should I seek damages or just talk to the boss? It is a small shop and I do know the boss he just was not in on this day and normally he always does me good because I always pay cash.
My muffler is fucked and my exhaust manifold is fucked I'm out 3k.

>>28468461
>I rebuilt the engine in this car
yeah sure you did, Mr can't even replace his own brake pads without calling a mechanic.

>>28468463
I did replace my own brake pads and the rotors can you say the same?
Difference between you and me is I have money but am also not stupid enough to waste it. I got paid for 8 hours of work to repair my car today stay mad.

>>28468464
if you did the work yourself then why complain about the scam mechanic, retard
>can you say the same?
lol I've never been to a "mechanic", I don't trust those bogan retards to do the work right.

>>28468464

>>28468483
The cam bearings already shit themselves at 219,000km and I put oversized cam bearings in when I fully rebuilt the engine. That was what caused the engine to shit itself so this is a half way smart comment if it wasn't my experience posted on /o/ that caused it kek post your mutilated genitals jannie ywnbaw

Not every Australian has 100% convict blood, but the ones that do all own Holdens.

>>28468534
I have blue blood and Nazi blood, half my ancestors paid a lot of money to come to Australia and the other half were taken in after ww2 when the Nazis were escaping persecution by the communists.
Imagine being Australian and not knowing where all the Germans and italians came from.

Always do all jobs by yourself.

>>28468612
Seems to be the case. If given a chance a scam helicopter will fuck you

based fellow crow cams enjoyer

lol my mom got charged 1k for brake pads and some fluid change shit she didnt need
then she came crying to me even tho i advised against the whole thing, offered to do it myself. she said i didnt have the needed certifications.
i think i got cucked by a mechanic and in life in general but i just laugh at her now

>>28468447 (OP)
Back when cars were unreliable so you'd have to go to mechanic pretty often and it was cheap enough. Nowdays cars last a pretty long time so when you go it means you really need to the thing fixed and combined with less customers they have to increase costs. Its more like a convenience cost.
Mechanics aren't for us car guys anymore with the booking and waiting, its just quicker to do it yourself.

>>28468475
They might bang it back in place with hammer if you ask, no where near $3k damage, kind of your fault, it would have fallen eventually with your solution.

>>28471580
Kind of normal because it includes a warranty that normies care about. Would you do it for a friend for $500 knowing if you do it wrong they will come back to you expecting to fix it or blame you for other things.

>>28468532
you sound like an absolute subhuman
kill yourself

>be me
>reads op
>lols
>reads thread
Absolutely astounded at the gullibility of /o/

>>28468447 (OP)
Every Aussie mechanic story is always a nightmare. They might be even worse than American mechanics at this point
