Car rant thread
screw pepboys first of all! i swear i should have just taken my car to my mechanic for the extra $40. he's not exactly cheap, but he's honest and his mechanics aren't morons and the job gets done on time, and the right way, every single time i've taken my car to him for the past like 8 years.
anyway, i needed brake pads and roters and i dropped my damn car off at pepboys at like 11:30 in the morning yesterday. i call areound 4:30 in the afternoon to make sure it's done or almost done because i was leaving my job at 5 to go get it. of course they're like, "yea yea, it's almost done, bla bla bla"
i swear to god they didn't start working on it until i got there at 5:30. i had my mom drop me off so she wouldn't have to wait with me. i'm there for about 45 minutes when the manager (has a gold tooth by the way...nice) comes to me and explains that they put the wrong brake pads in. my car doesn't need the kind with sensors, yada yada. i'm like, "ok, so what are you telling me? do you have the right ones in stock?"
they check...and fortunately they did, but now i have to wait for them to put them in. i'm pissed, but i'm glad that they at least have the right ones there. so i'm waiting around and about 45 minutes later, they tell me that the roters they have are a tad bit too big and they don't have the right ones in stock and there's no way they can fix my car that night. so i had to call my mom to come back and get me and i couldn't go home that night and had to stay with her. i'm fucking PISSED! i swear to god everyone in that store last night was a degenerate fucking retard. no sense of urgency in any of the employees, just goofing off and shit. i sat there while this mechanic was on the phone with a customer and he must have answered the same question like 5 times.
"well, we get a new shipment in tomorrow around noon, so you can come back tomorrow and get it"
"yea, at noon. i would say come back around this time"
"yea, well the shipment comes in at 12:00, so i mean...yea, just come in tomorrow around this time and we should have it"
"it's going to be 59.99. yea usually the shipment gets here anywhere between 11:00 and 12:00, but i would say come in later in the afternoon"
i felt like grabbing the goddamn phone from him and screaming, "ARE U FUCKING RETARDED! COME BACK TOMORROW AFTER NOON! DID HE STUTTER?"
and the mechanic is an idiot for letting a line form in front of him with impatient customers just so he can answer the same question over and over.
oh yea and german cars suck by the way. i've had more damn problems with my VW than my boyfriend has ever had with his old lexus that has 200k miles on it. i swear his car runs smoother than mine and i have like 75k miles on it and i have a turbo too. over engineered pieces of crap. i used to be all about german cars, but man screw that. when i can finally afford a brand new luxury car, i'm going with a lexus.
