Can't believe the things shops get away with. I just rewired the parking lights on this Caribbean. The color is right now.

Not sure but the owner before this I think did some of it to.

Picture of grill zoom in. And the screw is out..and you can't get it in. I don't have time to deal with it.

This car has already taking to much of my time. But can't just let the stuff I see go.

Oof, don't get me started. I just got my car back from being repainted and they clipped the wiring for the license plate & fuel tank sending unit as well as the reverse lights and didn't put any of it back...in fact my reverse light socket is completely missing.

Painters paint. Electrical techs wire. Wires were in the way of painting.
Plumbers work the same way, plumbers plumb. If there is a wall in the way of the pipes they need to replace, they take out a hammer and bash the wall open. Won't ask if you want to cover furniture, just start bashing.

The shop could not figure out park. So they bent the finger.

If it went to park. It wouldn't get out. Didn't even check park relay which was rusty.

I cleaned the rust off the relay and fender.

After I bent finger back . attached battery..it went right to park.

That guy cost me a lot of time. Wasted..

And got some cup washers from gerry

Okay, the world works like this: The bigger the liability the bigger the value.

When I was in the corporate world if you weren't losing a billion dollars and keeping your job you weren't considered very smart.

This is true of every level of society.

Look at the people in positions of power today. Look at how many great musicians are working for the post office while hoodlums make trash records that sell by the millions.

I personally have looked at work done by well regarded shops and couldn't believe what they did.

And the same thing goes on where I work right now. I call it the upside down value structure.

And don't forget, behind a lot of this shoddy work is a low price.

Yep, those DR resistor rotors are just a part waiting to fail, and usually at the most inconvenient time.
