so i took my car to a shop to get my headers installed.. supposed to be a good shop.. i had originally brought the car to a freinds shop and the project kept getting set back further and further.. so i resorted to taking the car to a shop i had taken it to 3 years ago to put my old spec clutch in
i had a little confidence in them since they were installing springs and headers on an 04 cobra.. so i figure sweet, they actually know stuff...WRONG.. took it there friday, went to pick it up monday and when they started it up you could hear a massive leak from the drivers side header... found where it was coming from, told them to fix it.. they said some back tomorrow...
cam back the next day, it was still there.. i got pissed.. they claimed it to be to thin of gaskets and that they would "set in" after drivin... so after an argument i left and took the car staight to my friends shop...
today he puts it on the lift and finds that not 1 part of the install was correct
1. drivers side tail pipe was mashed into the rear bumper cutout
2. mufflers were jammed into the frame of the car
3. headers to h pipe werent even installed correctly
4. passenger side headers were missing 3 bolts
5. drivers side header bolts and some of the passenger side bolts wer broke off...IN THE HEAD
6. 2 bolts had a nut welded in place where they broke the bolts so the headers wouldnt fall off
7. steering shaft was hacked up for some reason and re routed around header
i called the shop the second i found out and just laid into them.. then talked to the owner and he was like lets mak a deal.. i said f u, the only deal were making is your giving me my money back and paying for everything to be replaced.. INCLUDING NEW HEADS since im fudged cause the bolts are broke off in them
i was told that he'll give me back the money tomorrow when i go there but i know for sure he's probably lieing and his sketchy employees will be trying to jump my ass... BBB is being called tomorrow also that way they can pay for everything to be fixed...
im PISSED.. so mr crowbar and mr .357 will be visiting them with me tomorrow.. 357 will be on the hip just in case they try to act more retarded then they already are and the crowbar will be sitting in the car im taking down there just for fun...
this sucks.. im definatly a failure for letting them touch my car....sorry for the post but god effin damnit
