So I had a hole in the A/C hose from the evaporator to the compressor. Since Pep Boys has a lift and I live in an apartment, I take it there to get a new hose.
After paying way too much for just an A/C hose change, I get the car back. A couple days later, I notice my new hose looks like this:

Yup, contrary to the design and the way the hose looks like it should hook around the sway bar, they guy decided A/C hoses should be put below the suspension.
Feel free to laugh and then suggest where I should be taking my car instead.

You should go back and complain IMO. I would have been pretty pissed if I got my car back and it looked like that. Why would you take your car to Pep Boy's anyway? Most of the workers I talk to at Pep Boy's are idiots. Like the guy that tried to tell me to use Mobil 1 for breaking in my motor. "You will break your motor in improperly if you dont use a synthetic" LOL!
