yeah, I hate when ppl lie, I had similar issue before too.shareef777 said:funny that you mention that. I went up to the guy today. I called up before I left and verified my appointment before i started my long journey to south holland (drive) . well i arrived, and wouldn't you know it. the owner just walked out for supplies. so i sat waiting, FOR AN HOUR, until he came back. i was ready to hand over my keys so i can leave cause i brought my cuz to give me a ride home ( i wasn't intending on sitting for the 3 hour job to get done). so i was getting ready to pay him when he comes up with a bill for $200 (hand) , here we go. i started explaining how i was told it would be $140 over the phone. he stated cause they were never told it was a hatchback. hmm, it said on the appointment sheet by my name PROTEGE 5. if someone out there has got a P5 sedan, I WANNA SEE IT. so i explain to him that when I said protege 5, they should have known it was a hatchback. in either case, i explain that i did specifically say it was a hatchback. then he says that they were never told it was a 4 door, he assumed it was a 2 door P5. once again, would someone please show me a 2 door P5. so i frantically explain that over the SAME phone call that i scheduled a tinting appointment for my friends' focus SVT (a 2 door) and that they quoted me $120 for his car, BECAUSE IT WAS A 2 DOOR. so i would pay $140 cause i had a 4 door.
the greatest part was when i kept countering his BS he just said he couldn't do it cause of the weather (poke) , i was wondering if he was brain dead. long story (not short i guess), he offered $170, i told him i'd rather pay $200 at a shop by my house then deal with that (moon)hole. i had a local shop quote me $170 which i will call tomorrow for an appointment.
some good news though. delivery for the cat-back is scheduled for tuesday, i'm off on that day (rockon) .
you gonna love your cat back bro!!!
