Default So I Replaced My Timing Belt

And those retards @ the Honda Service center for some ****** reason took off my lugnuts, left the locking on on and gave me the car back in that condition.


So Im driving around with one ****** nut holding the wheel on.

Ha, you're lucky. I had a dealer cross-thread two of my wheel studs after a 7.5K mile service. A few weeks later I purchased new wheels and that's when I found out. They tried to deny even working on the car. I had to fight tooth and nail for two measly studs, that's all I asked for. I put them in my self.

The only reason I went to the dealership to begin with was because it was a free checkup. Never again.

park it. have them tow it and add the lugs or send someone over to do it for you. You should NOT drive the car with only one lug !!

I had a set of Advans I was borrowing from my friend (while his car was out of commission), and Acura proceded to curb a wheel while putting it in the bay.

Wasn't even that bad, could have been repaired. Instead they cut a check for a brand new rim ($510).

Honda typically sucks though.

I went in to get my state inspection and the ******* mechanic left nearly all my lugs loose. Luckily, I felt the steering wheel shaking before I got on the highway.......
