Stripped the lug pattern and we checked after trying to uninstall them once torque was OVER 250ft/lbs. As checked with a torque wrench. We as of working on trying to get them off have tried the following.....since u CANT use a 17mm socket on lugs that are special fitment size not allowing a regular size to be used we had to first try an impact gun and Craftsmen Loc Outs to remove them. This did not work except we did manage to break2 of them. We used huge amounts of penatrating spray on the lugs where we could get it into to aid in the help.
This is what i get for having promotion not follow directions and do it whatever way they felt like. Then again after being frustrated at the car, and myself and my shop as they show in there posting.....this is what i got for it......Notice the paint damage, thread damage?
Now the wheel must be dissasembled by pulling the control arms off the suspension off, all while the wheel is ON the car! Then i have to take both front wheel assemblies to the machine shop to have the studs DRILLED out of my 2500.00 wheels! At the cost of between 400 and 500 bucks.


This is the culprit of the oil damage done to the interior of the trunk and paint damage done to the rear trunk cage.......(oil pan 1.5 qts full and new damaged pistons.)

And last but not least.....the BOX , after specifically telling them to be careful with the parts and everything was to be carfully placed individually and kept organized and trash bagged in the car this is how i got all my nuts, bolts, and brand new parts put in my back seat. Again with oil all over the rear seat.


BUT WAIT, just like a poor infomercial THERE IS MORE!
As i am trying to dissasemble the whole wheel assembly on the pass side under the car i look up......The main oil line to the filter is CUT, not RIPPED but CUT from something......you can see it in the last pic.

Now shop or not, would u want this crap to happen to your car? Yeah Promotion you just keep bashing me. Because every day i work on our shop Evo.....Is another day your giving me to find one more thing wrong with your workmanship. Do you think they told me about this? Nope they didnt. Yet something else they failed to mention.

People think i should be held accountable for this stuff? ....Yeah i dont think so.
