I'm sooooo mad! My normally speedy shop has had my car for a week, and they haven't even started on it! The shop is also an hour from my house... I"m thinking about picking my car up and taking it somewhere local. But I just moved here and I don't know any good tranny shops, better break out the phone book....

Sorry to hear that. Sometimes you have to give shops the third degree before you leave the car. Even then they seem to ALWAYS miss there promise. I missed the MCA show just for that reason... the buttheads doing the intierior took a full week longer than they promised. No to mention the paint shops was MONTHS longer.

Well usually this shop has my car done before my estimated guess. I guess they must be really swamped with cars...I think I"m going to just leave it there since it's already there and I don't want to go through the hassle of getting it to another shop.
