On the other hand; STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT TECHS MOVING YOUR SEAT. Would you rather they can't drive the car properly and hit something? They can't remember exactly where you left it, just live with it, it's just something that happens when someone else is driving your car, deal with it.
Dammit.
PS: LOL.
Nick M said:All the bitching about automotive technicians. Specifically, the thread starter.
Yet you assclowns can't do basic maintenance and repair. Thread after thread of mindless destruction and incompetence. Why don't you ride a bike, since you can't fix your own car, and since technicians are mostly idiots, according to you.iwannadie said:Because the majority are idiots and seems everyone here agrees with that.

I was like well you can take it off because I have one, and the battery will be coming out anyways when I get home. I go to open the hood and take it off for him and then I see it.
The fuckers cut a notch out of the radiator support (not like a clean cut, like a cut a drunk mechanic made using a jigsaw) and some shitty leftover pieces of metal "holding" the battery in place. I told the guy he was lucky I was restraining myself from punching him dead in the mouth.
NEVER AGAIN will a shop touch my car.
SupraDerk said:I usually don't keep my battery in the car as a theft deterrent and because I paid almost $200 for an Optima and I had some parasitic draw going on at the time. The roads around here are good, and since when I drive the car it's usually just around the block to get the juices flowing, I usually don't put the tie down on it since in a couple of minutes the battery is coming back out.

Nick M said:Two things, what is the rest of the story? Because that is incomplete. Would you mind taking a picture of what they did?
Your battery not being secured is an accident waiting to happen.
Nick M said:Looks like a lot of rust on that new cut...

Nick M said:You did.
This is why I challenge you people on your "stories". He probably told you he had a hold down, and you just think that one is ugly. You make up the rest. You did make up the part about them cutting it afterall.

supraderk said:but it's by no means a fresh cut and nowhere did I ever say it was. It happened last summer.
Nick M said:Actually, this thread is about proffessional maintenance and repair.
Are you sure? Am I missing something? Do you want to amend your original statement?
