I would defiantly take them to court, or at least threaten. You might be able to sue for the car and hardship.

 

In for an update!

 

Not defiantly.

 

i personally am a honda technician. we are required to road test every vehicle that we perform an alignment on. this is standard procedure. why would we waste our time aligning your vehicle and not road test it. only to have you take the vehicle, just to bring it back and complain about something like the steering wheel off centered or it still pulls. not every person is shady. there are a lot of techs that would treat your vehicle like their own. you just have to be lucky and not get for example a "young tech street racer with a lead foot" to not work on your vehicle. you can always request to have a certain tech work on your vehicle. an older tech would probably treat your vehicle better.

you could request them to perform the alignment only and do not road test the vehicle, but they will probably tell you that you cannot bring it back to complain if it has a crooked steering wheel or still pulls if you don't let them confirm the job was done correctly.

sometimes. if your don't want anyone working on your car or touching it. just learn how to fix everything yourself. but easier said than done. just my .02c

 

Fair enough point...but techs like you are few and far.

 

Wow that's pity

I'm very stubborn when picking my mechanic.

My current mechanic is as picky as I am.

 

Still no update. Waiting for the quote for repairs to be received by the insurance company, and then the write off....

I am still driving this A4 S line estate. And it's a diesel.

Seriously, its sucking the soul out of me.

 

damn, thats so messed up, so hard to find good help these days.. gl your S

 

England not US. get it sorted mate. no law suit

 

That is $uxor... Too many of these types of stories...

I stand out side the garage or with in 50yrds of it 95% of the time... Only one time they tried to take my car for a ride. I promptly stopped them and asked where they were going...
Guy/kid was a punk to me "What do you care!" with some stupid look...

"'cause it's my car, that's why"...

He quickly backed up and parked it... Talked to the manager about my run in with his employee, service was 50% off , guess they aren't suppose to drive cars off the lot after repairs and if they do only a service manager can...
