Default Pep Boys A/C Hose Install (with pic)

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.

Go back and make them do it correctly! Don't leave until they do and give you coupons for when you never go back again!

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!

I have a hard enough time having a dealership work on my car....I would never let Pep Boys work on my car. Their mechanics are the idiots that could not get a job with a dealership.

All true, shops suck ***.

It just sucks when you have to use them.
