Update: Done Dirty Again?
I noticed when I opened the hood that someone had accessed the car's diagnostic pigtail. I say this because last time I used it I snapped it back into place. When I opened the hood it was loose. This is not needed for a water pump/ throwout bearing/ rear main/ pilot bearing R&R -which is what it was in the shop for. While that in and of itself will not cause problems (i.e., being moved around), it is possible to short out fuel systems if used improperly.
That leads me to my initial diagnostic test. I now have three new codes that were not there before. One of those codes is the dreaded 96 which I've fixed before. That one code alone means that my car is not reliable to go around the block much less across the state. The car now has two additional codes to 96 that were not there before: 87 and 95.
I have no idea how long I will be without a car, but after this shop telling me that my rear axle seals were leaking when they were not, then putting the wrong transmission fluid in and causing possible damage to my transmission, and now several new codes after having been in their hands I conclude that they are not trustworthy. I have no idea how long it will take me to fix my car.
Codes:
87 (c)
95 (c)
96 (c) AGAIN
