Mechanics should be shot

I just spent $955 on my fucking car and now it won't start if it's raining. The goddam asshole at the shop denies that it's anything they've done, of course.

Yah, right, I never had a single problem until THEY cracked open the case and fucked around with the car, but oh, NO, it couldn't be their fault.

Fucking asshole mechanics should be shot. There is not ONE on the planet that's not a goddam liar. I know for a fact that THEY left something loose or undone and that's the issue, but how much you wanna bet it'll cost me several hundred MORE dollars for their mistake?

GUARANTEED.

FUCKERS.
[end of the story: Asshole Dave wanted $600 for a new distributor plus labour, natch. We got into it and he refuses to work on my car any more. Oh, BOOHOO, like I will use you again?? NOT. I called Honda and they wanted $300 to put in plug wires!! Can you believe the balls these people have? The distributor is around $400 (NOT $600) from Honda, but you can get an aftermarket for $135. The plug wires from Honda are $75 or $48 from NAPA. The distributor cap is $18. The rotor button is $11. So I got all new replacement parts for $100 from NAPA and I will do the fucking work myself. RH Auto, for those who live in Decatur, is an OK shop, but they are the KINGS of overkill. If you need a $18 distributor cap, they'll tell you that you have to replace the whole distributor. It's really ignorant to do that with an 11 year old car. Yah, Dave, I *need* a whole new car, but I'm not asking you for that, you moron. So, needless to say, I'm looking for a new mechanic. And a new Honda, for that matter! ]

I hate mechanics. Too bad most of the people we know who like to tinker with cars can't actually fix anything.. Wouldn't be nice to be friends with someone who could actually FIX broken cars?
