crappy day

you got dsmlink? I'm assuming they disconnected the battery before replacing the alternator. If you got dsmlink, that would have put everything back to stock dsmlink settings in the chip. Just starting it up with stock dsmlink tune settings would not harm anything.

But ya, it doesn't get much easier than changing an alternator. A couple bolts (1 of them long) and a couple wires. And doing the belt too of course.

I would never bring any car I own to a shop like that ever again. They hire any joe schmo off the street that claims they know how to work on a car and do an oil change. I havn't let anyone touch any of my car's in almost 4 years now. The only places I would bring my shit to get worked on would be somewhere that I PERSONALLY know the people workin on my car. I know this isn't possible for most people, but I thank god it is for me

Cus I forgot you worked there swift. Damnit. I know I shouldn't have taken it anywhere and I definitely paid for it. Honestly, I know I could have done it pretty easily, but I just didn't want to hastel with it. It was hot as tits out and idk I just wanted to enjoy the day off. Guess that didn't happen.

As far as starting the car w/o the settings loaded, that could have messed stuff up. I was running rich as hell which is never a good thing (not horrible either). But how do they know I didn't have a built motor? That could have messed stuff up for sure!

In the end I'm an idiot and I know now not to go back there. The only reason I did is because me and my dad know the manager (guy that did the work) pretty well and he's a great guy to work with.

Just left precision tune and I talked with Jeff, the manager about the work done and my dissatisfaction and I am completely appalled. I was treated like a 12 year old kid and all he really did was rip on my car. He said "I don't care if this car is ever in the shop again," and "Everything is so hooky," "I hate working on these kinda cars." He denied breaking the hood pin sensor but never told me it was broke, he said they didn't dent the floor because they never used a jack (which I wondered how they might have done it anyways), he said his little bracket he rigged up on the t-bolt clamp was mandatory. Basically I went and tried to have a mature talk about some things and I was treated horribly. This was right up there with the top worst customer experiences I've had. I know for a fact my car or any car from my house will never be back in that shop again. He just lost some good business.
