dang, (kinda late but) I'm sorry about your car. Glad you where able to move out of harms way after the boom.

Its a shame that there arn't many decent techs out there who can do their job done "right". (at least where I live) I've gone around alot of shops and dealers to get my cars serviced or repaired and pretty much most of them would not get the job done right, even a simple oil change, or an alignment

Missing bolts, caps, loose nut, loose balljoint, missing covers, marking rims with a sharp object, leaking oil and fluids, overfilling oil, forgetting to add oil, soiling interior, minor sabatoging, adding a 100 miles on the odo, bending part of the frame, and the list continues... and when something happens, like an engine seize from forgetting to add any oil, they just tell you they're not responsible, and your like WTF!?

Dude that dealer almost killed you, literally, and it shouldn't be washed off with a simple insurance coverage, they should be punished, legally.
