Junkyard parts for the win, they’re already broken in and you know they’ll fit.

What about the amount of money that you charge per hour , then you add a mark up on the new parts mmmmmm😂

First of all, shut the fuck up. No shop ever will fix their fuck-up for free, that's a load of horse.
Second, if a shop can't be arsed to follow directions for a basic oil change, why the ever loving garbage would I expect you to do anything serious or even critical correctly? Case in point, I had a '00 Cougar that I managed to keep going to even north of 200k miles entirely because I was so anal about maintenance. I brought in the oil, filter and some Lucas stabilizer because I knew the shop wouldn't bother with that mess; they had no problem at the time. My one instruction, given it was a high-miler, is to put the Lucas in first so it could blend with the oil from the start. Well, what did the shop guy do? He put it in last. Left about a quarter of the bottle to waste, too.
The independent mechanic I used to have, I would have trusted with my life, let alone what and how above and beyond he was with me. I miss that guy so bad, but I now live in an entirely different state, and not one shop within 50 miles could be trusted for anything.
THIRD, is that the shop often won't get the tier of parts to warrant the price. This has often been a pet peeve of mine. Too many friends and acquaintances for instance, spending pro coilover money and rolling away with OE shocks because the shop and local parts shops can't be arsed to source them.
Last, but not least… Shops will try and sabotage shit just to mandate repeat business. This example goes further back, but simply I brought in my car at the time (a pontiac when they were still in business) to a shop to get an oil change done because I sure as shit couldn't trust my grandpa to do it even half-right. There was a Wendy's within walking distance so I went there for a bit. On my way walking back, I see the car up on the lifts, and I'm literally watching the jackass trying to stab the oil pan with his screwdriver. And had the audacity to then give me the stink-eye for busting him for it. Yeah, To hell with that. Shops deserve the reputation of being crook pits after crap like that. Screw you, and never show up in my feed again.

Majority of the time its because we show up to a shop and we're told "oh yeah just come back in a week when the part comes in" .. meanwhile i need the repair NOW… just started doing my own work. There are plenty of honest and great shops out there, it's just a kick in the balls being told to come back in a week or two when we need our car tomorrow.

I’ve seen as much as 1200% mark up on simple belts, idler pullies. Don’t get me started on “shop supplies”

Not all shops are on the honor system. They give you a real short warranty just enough time to have it break after the warranty expires then you pay all over again.😮😮😮

This guy is a liar and a thief!! No mechanic ever owns up to their “warranty “ on parts or labor.. find any excuse to blame the customer or manufacturer.. then it’s up to you to take them to court and waste more of your time and money!!
