I would gently threaten to write a bad review, unless they came up with a
plan to compensate me for my travails.

Not much.  Just tell everyone I meet that would listen, naming names.

Yes, that was my first comment to him.   "That's why I do my own work.  
I don't trust my life to stealers."followed by:   "The stealer 
monkey has incentives to cut corners.  He has no incentive to look out 
for you."


I've changed many baster cylinders, and never had a problem 
crossthreading the flare nuts.   It only takes a tiny bit of care to be 
sure the tubing is aligned.  Then the nut screws in without a problem.

Work on my own cars.

Oh, and on point#1, sometimes getting the threads started on brake 
lines can be troublesome. Flat rate mechanics are in too big of a hurry...

[MBZ] Broke Brakes!

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

SIL took his bowtie car to the stealer Thurs because it had a brake 
idiot light on.  They changed the master and booster.  Claimed the 
booster had to be changed because the master cyl leaked.   (BILL 
BOOSTER!)  Got it back, drove around Fri.   Sat he got about 60 miles, 
and had NO brakes.


Had it towed and dropped at the stealer's front door.Today the 
stealer admitted that the shop mnkey crossthreaded the nut on one of the 
brake lines into the master.  so, they replaced a brake line.


I would be livid.

#1  monkey should be able to thread in a brake line nut without 
crossthreading
#2  Monkey should be able to check to be sure it was not leaking after 
completion

#3 Shop manager should check for leaks before the car is released

What would y'all do in a case like this?
