You have a different definition of "friend" than I do.

Bry, they were friends... they are not friends now. My definition is someone who is equally respectable to me as I am to them.

Ohh well **** em they are retarded but the best part is not only did I get to vent a little but it was also enough entertainment for the western section. Served two purposes

Alright, I understand. I just hate to see someone considered a friend, or once a friend, not act like one.

Yeah it is not cool, I know there has been one point in my life I was quite destructive for my life and some people around me and because of that I tend to have more patience than I should but this time not so much, I drew the line when he tried to be a complete dick.

So you think they messed with your car? You should be able to figure out a P0300 pretty quickly, man. You could find something they "messed with" in no time. Sounds like you didn't have something right that showed up coincidentally when the tires were done. Soo many people jumping right in with comments but not asking you what the real problem is. You are more in love with the drama and talking about it rather than figuring out whats wrong with your car.

And the ignorance award goes to....

I found the problem, one wire was messed up from a prior issue already stated that but i guess you can't read so you wouldn't know.

I figured the issue out pretty quick, there were two wires that were loose and I know they weren't before I went in because I have also stated that I check them before I race and they were checked a week before I took it in as that was the last time I drove the car, they were fine then they were fine when I drove it in. So... you now have no valid point,as you can see there were other people who also said don't go to pep boys so this thread is useful to other people to see and say hey, I shouldn't take my car there because apparently they are a half assed shop.

Hmm wow sounds like you have a problem with me? If so just say it and we can discuss exactly what that problem is.

Yeah tom I don't usually let people drive the camaro unless it is already warmed up or they know what they are doing especially having stiffer valve springs, lord knows what some jack *** would do without letting it warm up.

Default All I wanted was...

So I went to Manny, Moe & Jack(off) today to buy an Optima battery for my car for Christmas. They said they would install it for me. 2 minutes later they call me, to say that I need an oil change. I said they better go back and recheck. They questioned me & said so you want me to tell my mechanic he is a liar??? I said no but I change my oil myself every 3500 miles with Mobile 1 Synthetic & I use a Mobile 1 filter. To make it ever more odd I sea foamed the car about 6 months ago, and used zmax 2 oil changes ago. Why can't they just do what you request them to do.
