So I was told after my car got inspection that my front brakes will need to be replaced soon (over the next two months). I waited a few weeks after and made an appointment at the dealer. I mentioned this to my brother and he reccommended a very good mechanic. So I went to the shop got my front brakes and made an appointment at the mechanics shop. I left my car there all day and went to pick it up and the man there who took a look at my car told me the brakes were fine and I could wait until the spring to get them replaced. I told him again what the dealer had told me and he said once more that they were fine. So away I go. It was another two-three weeks later that I hear the terrible grinding and swishing noise. Uh-oh. Took it to another place on just down the street from this non Franchised mechanic and was told that the front brakes need to be done and now the Rotor is gone! Nice!
So I called back Mr. Non Franchised and said nicely that I wasn’t trying to insult him but the brakes really did need to be done and now to add to that Im paying out more money than I would have spent in the first place. So instead of him saying sorry about that or giving some sort of an answer as to why that could have happened. He told me there was no record of my visit, and that my call to him was inappropriate gave me a big fuck off and hung up.
So this bitch is for my brother telling me to go to this asshole and also to the side fuck mechanic for screwing me over- Fuck you!!!!

shouldn’t that be “Fuck you * 2” ?
we wouldn’t want them splitting the insult and thus making it less effective.
totally sucks though.
happens all the time.i used to run the old-k-car-rell in spryfield for a few months,then when the city threatened to close me down,i moved the whole thing out of there.but know what,not once while i was in my business,did i ever twell a person that something was okay when it wasn’t.moreso then not,i showed them exactly what was wrong with their vehicle,did i get business,holy shit,i could do it all.so i had to get a buddy to help out.i have never,ever said something needed replacing,that didn’t either.if you came to me,you got an honest open answer.i hate fucking shysters that try to con and suck you into buying stuff,when you really don’t need it.the same is true in reverse.call the better business beareau, to see if they actually have a license and certification for mechanics,if not,nail the sucker to the wall.
ah the joys of being a woman. The pigs can see you coming from a mile away
not only women get sucked in kay,i know a lot of guys that got nasty surprises,come inspection time.they bring them to me,i used to take across road to station,slap sticker on them,if no real work was needed.there is too much bullshit going on,that need not be.and most stations,have their own ideas,as to what should fail.i personally,would never,ever allow an unsafe vehicle to pass.that’s why my reputation was good all over n.s.,and even p.e.i.,and b.b.,good service,fair prices,go a long way in any business.
yeah LIFE SUCKS – i completely agree with you. I had an unbelievable experience with a certain fruit named Auto Glass company in lower sackville. My driver side window was broken to where it would slide into the door if i rolled it down more than an inch, they told me i needed to get a new window and surround for it.. long story short after 2 trips to the junkyard and a whole ton of bullshit, they finally give me my car back and say “yeah we couldn’t fix your driver side window and we took a look at your passenger side window and it looks like it might go soon too (keep in mind my drivers side one only broke because it was slammed as hard as humanly possible.) but we’ll only charge you $40 for fixing your rubber surround on the drivers side.
I was kind of pissed at that point… but once we pulled out of the parking lot and my buddy tried to roll down the passenger side window and it fell into the door I was extremely pissed. I was about 17 or 18 at the time and my parents went in to talk to them about it and the old gray haired lady that was all smiles and small chat before i gave her my money turned into a complete goblin on them and told them to go fuck themselves.
usually in a window situatio,it is either a handle,or the slide that the glass sits it,needs to be adjusted.most times takes about 20 to half hour.did many power and no power ones in the old k cars.they had a habit of coming unglued in the frames below the door tops.
