Re: Haley Toyota
yeah, i've talked to a few ppl that took this class when it 1st started and they said it was good. but it's looking like it is just going downhill. 
all we do is read the info on the computer while Ms. Smith just plays solitaire watching us making sure we don't surf the internet. she isn't doing a very good job right now though! LOL
did you have her? and what's your name?

Re: Haley Toyota
hmm.. just called Haley.. They charge $70.50 per hour...
Which means labor should only be $211.50 according to the book.. since it should be a 3 hour job..
so $538.50 in parts?? Damn..
$125 for the wheel bearing is what he told me..
that means the hub is $413.50.. DAMN... although he said the hub was $300ish...
Unless they charge more because uhm..... Hell I don't even know...

I dropp my car off yesterday MORNING..like 8:30 right.. They call me at 2:34... They finally looked at it.. they don't hear the noise (wow it's pretty fucking loud if your not romping on the damn gas) and he looked at it and his BEST GUESS is that it is the wheel bearing.. I said yes thats what I said it was...Well they don't have the part in stock...well jackass don't you think if I make an apointment with you to fix the wheel bearing you'd have the damn part there?? So he tells me he'll have the mechanic start taking it apart if he has time tonight and the part will be here first thing in the morning...
Well.. it's 3:00 the next day.. still no phone call from them.. I get a call as i'm heading down there.. it's the parts guy..lets me know he had the part..got it THIS MORNING...
I get there.. ask how my car is doing.. "oh uhh you need to talk to pete" uhm ok.. so I wait for this idiot.. he comes out.. Oh well we havn't gotten the part in.. so I look at the part guy like "really" and the parts guy goes oh well we did I just got the rap sheet on it and called her.. the other dude was like oh well we'll start on it then.. I asked uhh wait you havn't even taken it apart yet? He says no we can't just have it sitting there apart.. I was like then why did you tell me he would start on it last night? He was like uhh he was going to but didn't have time.. Well jackass then the car would be sitting there apart now wouldn't it??
So he tells me it will be ready at 5:30...
JUST got a phone call... "mrs. Rowe?" ... yes... "Uhh I have some bad news" yea ok what "Well.. we tried to replace the bearing but the hub is so worn out it wont sit in there" well yes.. You said it had a lot of play in it... I've been driving the damn thing.. now i'm not certified like these monkeys but I know if it has a LOT of play in it.. you probably need the hub too.. for $125 they are charging me in parts...all i'm getting is ONE wheel bearing... WTF???? So this fucking hub is another $300.. bringing my total price to $790 if I do this.. and they will have to keep my car AGAIN...
OMG.. I'm stressing the FUCK out...GOD DAMNIT I WANT TO BE A MECHANIC!!!!!!!
I don't trust a DAMN person
