Luckly I pulled up as he was trying to figure out how to put it in and he started bitching at me for asking TJ to do it in the first place. I told jimmy not to worry about it, paid TJ for the balljoint replacement and left pissed off.

I've talked with TJ before and he is a great guy but I feel people that dont know what there doing shouldnt be working on customers cars.
Jimmy actually did work with TJ for a few months. He was out of work and was hanging out at the shop a lot so he started coming up every day and working with TJ. Jimmy knows how to work on cars, but he still has stuff to learn just like anyone else. And if you were so pissed why not let someone know then instead of now?

I did! When I went to pick up my car Jimmy was still working on figuring out what the hell to do. I told TJ to put the straps back on the gas tank and I would fix it. I payed,TJ apologized and I went on my way. All this happened around when the shop first opened.

Yeah I know. You didn't have a new seal for the tank if I remember correctly and there wasn't one to be found locally.

There was a new seal in the car. I wouldnt have asked him to replace it if I didnt have the seal already.

My bad I guess I forgot.. Its only been a year and a half ago or so. lol

I apologize for the issue and I would like a chance to make it right for you. If you need any work done in the future just let me know and we will take care of it with a nice discount on parts and labor. I think thats only fair.

Blk00SS does have a pretty fast car.

Stop by and see us sometime guys. I always try to be nice to everyone!! Matt on the other hand is like security lol. He makes up for all my niceness!!!

HVAC-Tech let me appologize about anything that happened in the past. I will take the full responsibility for it and if there is anything that myself or FTPerformance can do to help you out just let me know.

Blackbird, I see your car all the time man. Looks really good, I remember seeing it driving around a yr or so ago too. From your sig. it looks like you are about ready for a TQ converter!!!
