I feel you man, my 911 didn't come w a backup camera surprisingly. Tbh honest, it didn't really bother me that much but i had some extra cash and took it to a shop to get it installed.

They promised me that it would be a 100% OEM setup using NAVTV, that it would be the same exact thing that I have in my Panamera and would cost 1700.

I spent all day there and they couldn't figure out how to do it. Those dumb ***** already drilled my bumper and ran the wire to behind the head unit (PCM). I told them if you guys can't do it then i'm not paying ****. They tried to charge me for just the camera alone even though the thing doesn't even work. I said okay i'll pay 50 bucks for the camera and you can buy me a new bumper since it has a hole in it now.

They let me keep the camera after that

But my car has a backup camera on it that doesn't even work.

Something similar happened to me when I went to get my exhaust installed, dude was real nice and everything up until the point that they figured out they didn't know **** about putting on a valvetronic one even though he told me multiple times they've done them before. Long story short he calls me back into the shop and tries to tell me that I bought a cheap exhaust and all the parts weren't there for the install and blah blah blah... I was real close to just whooping his *** but I dint want him to **** me over because they had tapped into the brake lines to install the wires for he valves. I'm pretty sure he just didn't want to do the job to begin with because I didn't buy the exhaust from him.

Safe to say I will never go back here and I always tell people not to go there.

:lol: some shop tried to tell me that the tires I bought were a cheap material. Funny cause they were the oem pirellis. He just wanted me to buy tires from him
 
Some of these shops man. When I had my 99 at 18 or 19 I learned to never trust a Goodyear shop. My tire ripped on the highway. Was loosing air slowly so I decided to drive to the closest tire shop. I was having a busy day. They made me wait forever in the shop until my tire was completely flat and told me I'm going to need all new tires because "they don't have the exact size of the others plus they had low tread. " $600-700 later I learned my lesson.
 
Hmm I have a question

Does 100 an hour sound iffy if a shop is doing a diagnosis on your vehicle ?

I have two codes that need to be looked at

:lol: son got finessed
 
Luckily i havent been tricked by a shop shoutout to my dad for teaching me to wrench.

Once took the whip to a shop it was making a noise in the front.

Dude said it was balljoints and would cost 300, so i changed em myself and it wasnt even balljoints.

Turned out it was the hubs so i changed those.

I know one shop thats good af. Dude is trustworthy.
He works on racing transmissions. I always trust shops that actually have experience with racecars and dont have cars sitting outside the shop for months. Dude has a variety of customers from old school muscle to new porsches and sometimes even i saw a mclaren
 
I'm slowly learning how to diy. I refuse to pay someone for something simple that I can learn myself. Plus my dad was a mechanic so that helps a lot.
Of course there are times when you just have to go to a shop though
 
Same here or knowing ppl who have the knowledge and tools. Buddy of mine at work just bought a house on the other side of the town I live. Previous owner was a mechanic so his garage has a legit working car lift. So when it's time for me to slap and exhaust on I know where I'm going!:pimp:
 
Definitely want a lift in my garage eventually.  Sick of laying on the ground for exhaust installs and such
