Well my alternator died on friday 13th and I finally had a day off work to go get it fixed. I would have loved to do this on my own considering it's really not that hard, but I wanted to enjoy my one day off work and just pay $50 bucks or so to have it done. Well I had it towed around 10am from my buddies house where I left it and I got to precision tune around 10:30ish. Luckily my buddy had some nice long boards in his garage so I could get my car on the flatbed w/o killing the intercooler and bumper. Anyways, I have a lifetime warranty on the alternator but I lost the receipt. So I was going to just take it to red rooster where we got it and hope they could replace it. So after waiting for precision tune to get the alternator out I finally drove to get the new alternator. Turns out I have to wait 2 hours because they don't stock em. That was my fault for not calling ahead. So after driving around for a while I finally go back and pick up the new alternator. I was lucky enough to get a free replacement. I go back to precision tune and wait like a few more hours till they close at 6 and finally get my car back. I was very hesitant to take my car to a shop like this. I normally go to db, lse, or map. Well I had asked them to let me know when they were done so I could reload my tune before they started it. Well they didn't let me know and all of a sudden I hear them trying to start my car. So hopefully nothing is messed up because of that. I loaded the tune asap when I got in my car. At the end of the day they charged me $188 to replace the alternator. I am pissed. Then to make things worse, as I'm driving home I notice theres a huge bump in my floor from something pushing up under my car. Like they jacked it up in the wrong place or something. So I've got to go fix that tomorrow and look over everything and make sure it was done right. wow I'm pissed and I don't think I'm ever going to a non performance shop again. OK rant over.
