took car to shop today to get my spacers and springs installed ...

theDreamer · 08-13-2013, 09:25 AM

Since they failed to do the install the first time, I would demand they finish what you paid for.

Chuck33079 · 08-13-2013, 09:27 AM

Considering they couldn't figure out that the spacers would work fine if you took out the bolt on the rotor, do you even want them to do anything else to your car?

Chuck33079 · 08-13-2013, 09:48 AM

I can't imagine an able bodied individual needing help to remove that bolt. If the OP is capable of removing the wheel to get to it, he has the necessary skill set to handle it.

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.

Chuck33079 · 08-13-2013, 10:06 AM

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.

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

im89 · 08-13-2013, 10:08 AM

That's my gripe with the whole situation.

Chuck33079 · 08-13-2013, 10:10 AM

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.

I did the exact same job for my friend for pizza and brew lol

$50 to get that rotor bolt out is riduculous. Almost as ridiculous as the low price they charged you to install your springs. If I were you, I would just pay the $50, get the spacers installed, and get your car out of there. You'll forget all about it once you start driving your lowered Z with spacers

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

im89 · 08-13-2013, 10:21 AM

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

Thanks will do.

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....
