tell them you are going to call the better business bureau and report them for stupid shit if they dont give you some answers and quit fawking around. or that you will contact whoever you have to so that they dont pull this crap anymore.

dude i left my car for some sensors in the shop for one week and it was supposed to be like 2 days only. After i finally got it the rpms on it were goin up and down like crazy. I took the car to the shop and told them to shove it up their but. they told me to leave the car there overnight and they will take a look at it first time in the morning. So i stepped up to them and i really got hars on them: You either fix the car now or i want a prelude as a free rental until they fix it. When they heard that somebody got to my car right away. In no less than 5 minuts the car was fixed.

Wow, hopefully everything works out ok in the long run. Is $1000 really that much? Was there body and paint damage? I just got a small messed up part in my bumper repaired and it ran almost $600...

my moms car was 400 only to paint 1 quarter pannel and the rear bumper. All the other work was done by my dad at home. My car to fix all the dents in it is like 1200 not painted. Fucck that, i'll fix it myself and pay only for paint.

MY CAR IS GONE
I went to the shop and I got a BS story that some equipment wasn't working and it was in the paint room (restricted) but it has those windows so I snuck a peek on the way out and there was a Silver RSX in there. So my car is not at the shop and I am just like right now

Whoa, that's very strange. There's no other garage it could be in? I'd ask them straight out where the hell it is.

Anyways, I'm sure you'll end up getting it back just fine, just hang in there. If things get too weird, call the cops.

I agree.. Make the show you the car, or tell them your calling the cops down there... They have to show you your own car... Thats just BS!!!

I left a really horrible message on the answering machine at the shop. Damn I was mean.. I kinda feel bad now
Basically I told them either my car is there at 2pm tomorrow or I will make them pay for a rental car and I will call the cops.

And this kid is supposed to be a friend.. who knows a good hitman?

Yesterday when I went.. they told me it was begin painted and I couldn't see it. And I today them I'm like I need it by 5pm (today) and my friends father is like "Ok no problem".. So I call today at 3:30 to check up and see if I could get it at 5 and then they told me they are having problems with the sprayer so its still not painted. So I totally lost it, I had my father call and they told him tomorrow at 5pm (friday) so my father is going to go with me.

This is really doing my head in.

Well hopefully it will all be taken care of tomorrow. Sucks that they're giving you the run-around though.

Well I called the cops and told them the story..
They told me to see what happens to tomorrow, if I get the car then they won't investigate but if I don't they will. It turns out others have reported this place.. they are doing some pretty f*cked up things at this place. I need new friends..
