It's these low income, low education morons they hire that have no respect for the customer's vehicle/property. They feel like they are in control and can do as they please.
Hummmmm if they cared about their business, why would they hire these said low income, low educated morons

Definitely. Completely different from independent shops where the mechanics actually have a passion for working on cars. These mechanics that I yelled at seemed like the sort of people who took autoshop in high school, realized they weren't intelligent enough to pursue a career in another field, so they went and got certified to be a mechanic and blam.

So disrespectful-- I think I'm going to call and complain about the situation, 'cause Sam saw exactly who was in my car, so I know who the culprit is.

I'd call

My buddy is a Honda Tech.... who just quit to go do something else. He would completely agree with you, he says most tech's are just moron half-wits.

I feel ya. When I went to norm reeves in ceretos I needed a new remote because the one they gave me (A few months prior) was defective. They needed to "go to the warehouse where they keep extras" even tho I know they have a bunch at the dealership. so what better car to joy ride... i mean take to the factory than my s... then on the way in he cherped my tires... I knew someone was messing with my car and sure enough i see my car parked right outside. I heard the tire squeel from inside the building but he couldnt hear it from a convertable apparently... last time I went to norm reeves...

Honda World downey was a different story. I show up, even with my greddy exhaust I never heard it rev past 3 or 4. which is understandable rev ranges for inside a parking area. and no excessive revving. Plus coffee machine ftw.

Good to hear that you got them replaced for free.

Disrespectful employees...

Yeah I was told by the mechanics at Corner3 who were previously dealer mechanics to NEVER leave your car at a dealer over night. He said often times they steal things, and he's also heard of people replacing head units with broken ones.

Bunk. :/
