[QUOTE=MikeyCB,Sep 21 2007, 03:51 PM] I say you're nuts for going back to them, but it's your call.

b/c Ive already moved it to S2000 Talk from UTH (where you originally posted it). It dosent belong there.
I don't understand why it doesn't belong in UTH. We're talking about the cooling system and thermostat....those are under the hood are they not?

As far as I can tell, you're complaining about midas. You've diagnosed the problem yourself, and want them to replace the thermostat, you don't like the labor quote, so you'll DIY.

Good luck.

I'm with NVMY4N. until a technical question arrives, S2000 talk is the correct forum for bitching about Midas and the labor $$$

Where did I bitch about Midas and the labor rate? I laughed at the labor rate, and hoped that Midas would not screw up on the coolant flush and thermostat change.

The title of the thread is "Getting new thermostat put in today", which means we will be discussing a new thermostat (which is located under the s2000 hood in the engine compartment in case you didn't know).

The title of the thread is NOT "I hate midas and their labor rates are ridiculous".

You mods seriously need to not gang up on forum members because you all are so high and mighty with you huge e-peens.


And the technical forum is not all about asking questions. I'm sure this will go completely ignored since I'm not a premium member, or someone who has 12,000 posts and flirts with mods all day to further boost their e-status on the forums.

Honestly, get the wrench from out of your ass and stop complaining. You seem so concerned about not-being-concerned with everyone's "e-status," yet apparently one slightly abrasive post puts your panties in a twist.

From what I gather,
Your initial point was: 'I'm putting a thermostat in the car, and I'm using Midas, even though they can't tell their head's from their asses.'

Counterpoints: 'Whoopty-do.'

Frankly, I concur.
Why would you use a company that appears to not know what they're doing?
