My apologies; I thought better of posting this, since it's somewhat
inflammatory, but hit the wrong button on my "smart phone" (not to mention
that it's kinda Friday material).

Please ignore while I slink away for a while.

|>> I have NEVER written a letter to any one with the tone of
|this one. Discovering your business is possibly the worst
|thing that has ever happened to me automotively! After having
|to pay you $1100  to inspect my transmission. I got it back
|with nothing found wrong and with a new leak. When I bring it
|back to see if the leak can be fixed, You charge me another
|$150 with no promise that the leak would be stopped. Well,
|surprise, surprise ,surprise, It wasn't. That trip only cost
|me $300 for gas , motel and your charges. NOW, when i try to
|take the drain plug out to drain the transmission so that I
|can remove it for repair, I find that it has been installed so
|tightly that I couldn't remove it with a ratchet wrench. I had
|to use my impact driver and it wouldn't even work. It only
|managed to strip the allen head out of the drain!
|>>
|>> I'm not sure if you have treated all of your customers this
|way but I am furious with the treatment I have received. I
|could have bought a new gear box for $700. I don't expect an
|answer to this, nor do I want one. I only know that this is no
|way to run a business . You can be certain that if ANYONE
|should ask for a recommendation for a shop, It won't be yours!
|In fact I will only be to willing to tell my story.
