ok well i replaced my half shaft because the boot riped and then after i did that the seal for the cv went out so i had to pull it all out. but before i did that i got pissed and was like F**** this and took it to a honda dealer ship. after i took it there they said it was going to be around 750$ to replace it and what not

then i got pissed again and said no after they had taken it all apart so i made them put it back together and i had the car towed back to my house where i relized that they striped the spindle and the nut. so i went back to the dealer ship bitching about it and they consisted on saying it was like that before even thought it was a brand new half shaft.

so i just went to autozone and ordered a new one and it will be here tomarow hopefully.

when it comes to things like that the dealer rips you off
cuz t his doesnt add up

50$ for the part at autozone
25$ for tranny fluid.
3$ for the nut. =
78$ ?

but when i went to the acura dealer ship

they were a lil more understanding

300$

which is decent

oh well they made me mad

oh!

not to forget that they put a bunch of spider cracks on my front bumper because they didnt use the proper wheel risers when putting my car ont he lift. even thought i sat there and said

the car is low make sure they use wheel risers

and they didnt

and they wont fix it

so im just venting off some anger.


oh

and screw bestbuy
they installed a 4 channel amp and its done s hitty and rattels

if i knew how to do sound **** i would do it my self.'

and they broke the door clip that makes it so the person can open the door from the inside

so i have to order a new one of those

local dealer ship =

best buy

my currest mood

The shop guys at the dealer are just part changers not mechanics, and the dealership will charge you by the hour based on estimated time on a book.
I had extensive converstaions wiith shop mechanics just to find out they realy didn't know shis and they'll do what you and I can do, looking it up on the service book and go from there!
