also this good info to check to see if a shop has been busted for crap before you take your car to them.

Quality.

 

Can't believe I've never seen that one.

Obvious suspicions confirmed.

 

skip to page 46 and start reading from there on the fraud charges for Firestone. You all might see why you have so many problems with them.

The guys at BAR due some amazing shit to catch these guys. They don't get paid enough for what they do. they have a really nice shop/lab that's about all I can say about what they do. I was asked to keep quite about the details on what I saw in there shop. But its no secret that they exist, yet we still have a huge problem with crappy ass service shops.

 

CA Firestone is on probation until July 2018 and Hayward location until July 2019.
those of you that have had problems with them should file a complaint.
Not sure if this is worthy of its own thread, maybe a mod can chime in.
or I can add a hot chick pic to get there attention .lol

 

i had the BAR go after asshats at BigO in Vacaville for damaging a center cap and not paying up and telling me to get bent.

While the BAR agent couldnt get him to pay up they dug through their files and found a ton of weird stuff and inconsistencies to where he was able to fine them.

 

One of my buddies was a mechanic with them and he would go in to the car see what was wrong so they can take it in and see what they say he would mark bolts and caps and things to see if they even touched what th4ey said they did

 

yep! they go even farther then that, but you got the idea. they even put the brake dust back in drums to look like they were never pulled apart. they go to great detail on there work and document everything. like CSI for mechanics.

 

Bolinas?

 

Look something like this?

 

@EDDO strikes again... a quote dredged up from a year ago, lol

 

My power steering is gone.... Hoping its the pump. I don't see any leaks. New pump comes in today. swapping at MJs tonight. No idea how. Any advise? Hopefully its not the rack. they are on national back order and im offroad the next 3 weekends.

 

I would bet it's the rack. They suck on our trucks. I've already swapped mine out.

 

Everything in this thread has already been said. One merely has to find the post and quote it out of context.

 

fingers crossed... its the pump. If its the rack it will just have to wait.
