I took the car for the yearly inspection with no problems whatsoever,
they told me the I need a bush racking to pass it, and than they kept the car for three days every day finding something for excuse. They removed the engine ???? Anybody knows if for bushing you need to have the engine removed, and once I took the car back it was not functioning properly, I brought it back and they told me that my gasket needs to be changed?? The car never heated ???? what gasket??? I drive it every day longs distance and it was runing fine. I think they took me for a few towsands dollar ride or whatevere messed uo during the busging. I will appreciate any sugestions. Thank you.

Was this like a regular place you always go to? There is no way I would have let them hold onto my Stang like that. I just would have left and went somewhere else. That's crazy!

You were scammed. You should take the car to another shop and explain what happened, and have them see if the work was needed. If they agree that the first shop was dishonest, I would involve the Attorney General or even the Police.

What is a bush racking? What does their invoice say about what was done and what was replaced?

Thank you. I will do go to another shop, and have it inspected and involve some legal forces. Today I could not puck up the car either, since now the gas pedal is maknig some strange noise. I think they wracked the beautiful vehicle completelly.

Bush is a rubber junction that helps the connection between the rack and the stearing part. The invoice says: bush- 55.78, labor -308, alignment (they explained needed after the bushing) - 64.99 (125 part and 481 labor), handle for p-brake - 32.17, labor -26.40, state inspection and brake system all 639.97, than the gasket was 760
