Why!!!!!!!!!!!!

okay i fucking hate honda civic's. first my throw out bearing goes out, got it fixed, only did i know that honda screwed up putting it in and everything back together that know my clutch has gon out, and it took 2nd and 4th gear with it. my altenator decided that hey look what i can do and burn it self out, took my battery and fried my fucking ecu!!!!! and to top it all off the distributor in my passsat went out which is why i dont have any means of transportation as of last tuesday, and vw wants 650 just for the distributor, and 1250 to install the fucking bitch!!!



to fix civic:
650 for tranny/clutch/and installation
250 for ecu
100 for battery and altenator
for a grand total of
1000 dollars
why the fuck does everything have to go out all at once!!!!!!!!!

i say screw the dealer. Take it somewhere where you know they do good work. I took mine in long ago to the dealer. Never again. It took forever, they gave me the runaround, they overcharged for something real simple (this is before I knew anything about cars).

From now on I take it to non-dealer, yet experienced mechs...or do it myself.
