I was waiting for Nash to chime in, but I guess that would be a huge can of worms. Nothing like what 3 different times it got broken into 6,000 worth of stuff stolen.

and lets not forget my own personal experience of dropping the car off to have a noise coming from the timing belt cover that I wasn't sure about (this was like my first year into DSM's with 322whp), and I needed them to replace a rusted in place axle.

Well 3 days of "just got back from another test drive but still haven't figure it out" and 500 miles I get a big old "we're sorry your cars to modified we can't do anything for you" and handed me my keys.

Then about a week later I'm up there with Nash and we're talking to one of there Tech's who's telling him how there was this white eclipse that came in and that he'd taken it home for the weekend and raced that hell out of it... Andy points out that the owner (ME) was standing right next to him. And the guy proceeds to walk off.......1Quick4 I'm pretty sure it was you....hehehe but at least nothing broke. And you got into DSM's shortly after so if I helped corrupt you in anyway then it makes up for it.

That is what I hate about bringing my car to places. The mechanics like to beat and rev the hell out of everyones cars.

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.

Yup, I caught a guy taking mine out for the test drive and just ripping on it right in front of me. If only he had waited 5 min cause he was reving and slipping the clutch right behing Jana and I as I was leaving. He quickly passed us and went down a side street in a hurry. We turned around and really let them have it. Got me a hell of a discount.

I had my van broken into last night on the street in front of my buddys house. They took the XM, a couple of converters and the charge station for my frs radios (walkie talkies). What they failed to see where the two laptops, sony reciever and 200 disc changer, printer, scanner, dvd burner and 27' sony tv in the back, plus my tool box. I got lucky as shit. The pulled the drivers window down so there isn't any damage to the van except the missing vent that the xm was zip tied to.

Only other time I had a car broken into was at an impound lot. The stole the deck and the tweeters and left the amps and subs that where built into the spare tire well and covered by a false floor.

Too bad about your window. Hopefully you can find one off a parts car for next to nothing.

Shit, a few years back I was fighting with Mitsu over some "warranty" work.During this, my car was at Kline for like a month, while it was there, it was backed into and broken into twice.The first time, they broke out the passenger handle/lock assembly and stole my deck.The second time, even though the lock was already broken(clearly visible) and there was a bunch of wires where the deck used to be and I had left the doors unlocked, they broke the passenger side window and went through everything inside my car and hatch.Of course Kilne wouldn't cover anything.

I can't say anything bad about Metro though, they always took good care of me and I never had any problems with them at all.
