wat about the "part" they needed to get?

Yeah I understand they gave me a good price for the install with $200 but $50 to remove the bolt and put on the front when I paid for the everything is installed is crazy wouldn't of even mind $25. Looks like imma have to take it somewhere and probably still end up paying $50 for the front because it's pointless taking it to them now. I would try it myself I just don't want to mess anything up.

Take the bolt out yourself and tell them to finish the job you paid them for already?

kenchan 08-13-2013 10:06 AM

if you go to another shop, they will probably charge you a full hour's work which in some areas could mean $75-100.

so the $50 is not a bad deal as a continuation for the work...but the part about them lying to you about this 'part' they need, that is not settling well with me. :mad:

they could've just told you they miscalculated the labor and asked you nicely if you can help out with the $50.

He avoided the whole parts discussion. Just in case you guys want to know the shop is called monkey wrench it's on liberty ave in queens I would avoid going there for people local in ny.

That's my gripe with the whole situation.

:shakes head:

it's one thing to make a honest mistake, but trying to cover it up or make up stories... that is unacceptable.

There's not a doubt in my mind there's someone local to you who would help you DIY the job for less. You might get out for just the cost of pizza and beer. Spacers are easy. The springs were the hard part, and the first shop already did that.

You're in Queens? Should just took the extra few minutes drive and go to RAD out in Oceanside.

They actually know what they're doing + supporting a forum vendor = win/win

Def will go the for future mods. If anyone is willing to make quick money and knows what they are doing pm me.

You might have more responses by posting in your local subforum on here.

I think you got your answer....it's a 10mm bolt, I gues if you want to pay someone to take out a bolt then so be it but I think it's hilarious

It's not even called wrench time to take out this bolt....
