Exclamation The Parts House- bad business

Ok heres my story.... so I'm driving ya know typical day, taking my wife to work. It's been almost 2 months since i got the transmission done and new fluid flush yada yada. So here i am not even 2 blocks from my house when...THUMP! My car stops and i pull over and thinking ok maybe its just something stupid. So I lift up the hood and thinking what happened, ya know. So i scan around and I notice my timing belt loose, kinda flimsy. I give it a tug and the belt comes off. I was like wtf yo. So i call up who i think can get it fixed as soon as i needed it...The Parts House. So i give Jay a call tell him i need a tow and my timing belt fixed. He gets the tow and doesnt even look at the car a tells me some bs story or what not. Then he tells me $250 and he'll change the timing belt and give it a compression test. Well i bring him $110 and tell him if he could get started on it. He say ok nad snatches the money from my hand and says I still need $140 more so that he could pay his mechanic. Well next day i come back to the shop with the rest of the cash and asked if he had gotten started he says my mechanic is at court and that he'll be in later that day and he can start it. I pull out the rest of the cash and like a greedy little thing from LOTR he takes and says he'll order the part and start the work. Well Friday rolls around and I'm in need of my car to drive (luckily i rented a car that day) and i ask John if he'd seen Jay. He tells me naw not yet. I asked him if he knew if my car had been started on and he says its been sitting in the same spot the day i came in. I'm like so Jay hasnt even touched it nad he says nope. At this point I'm super pissed cuz i forked $250 out my ass out of my vaction cash and its still a sittin duck. So i says fuck it i'll be back sunday. Well Sunday comes and i head to the shop. Jay is there and i asked what happened to starting on my car he says Oh well i turned the cams and notice either #2 or #3 cylinder has a bent valve. I'm like ok and... Did you fix the belt? He tells me he put a new belt on to test it and them takes it off anad sends it back. I'm looking at him like Eli Porter like wtf dude. So he explains to me thats the $250 was to pay his mechanic for 5 hours of labor for a job that takes 2 then doesnt even put a belt on the car, like what sense does that make. SERIOUSLY. So he sits there in his lil chair and says tell ya what since it was a miscommunication it order a new belt charge you again for the part but put it on for no cost. So at this point im like alright just hurry the fuck up. So Tuesday pops up and i go to the shop to get my car cuz at this point I'm feed up with his crook of shit. He pulls out the recipt and i look over it and he charges me an extra $46 for the tow which he never mentioned i'd had to pay when i came in, then $35 for the belt and $15 for tax. So I hand him the $35 and grab my key and go to my car. Turn the ignition and... Nothing. I lift the hood ad my battery, my Injen short ram, my flip out head unit, and some turbo parts are missing from the car and I'm asked him where my shit was and he says, I'm not responsible if your parts get stolen on my lot. He better be glad i didnt call the cops that day either. So i grab a battery and start the car and tried pullin out and John comes out and says Oh yeah the other belts arent on the car. I ignore what he says and just go. Never in my life have i ever gone thru so much bs im over a week. I advise you all if your looking for good quailty DONT take your car to The Parts House. What a big waste of my money going there.
