Diablo Subaru Mazda el Sucko

Ok, my buddy has a mazda 3, and i guess at some point he put a sway bar in. Well the brackets messed up on it and he had dropped it off to the dealer and payed 70 bucks to inspect (at the time he didnt know the prob), so they found the brackets were bad..........and said they would replace and fix it for...........




500.00


LOL

talk about dishonest. You are suppose to help people get their car fixed, not try and get them to buy the most expensive rip off thing.

They could be charging him for brackets and possibly a stock sway bar cause the part he has isn't stock and they probably don't want to work on a part that isn't factory.

I think he's planning on a bimmer in 2 years or so.

Regardless of whether they wanted to work on it or not, you are telling me a little shatbag mazda swaybar is 500 bucks installed..........

Well if so then I'll sell you this shiny can of coka cola for 25 dollars.

their sales people arent the greatest also, atleast the guy that was helping me.
i went there to look at a cgm 05 sti. priced at 27000 with 39xxx miles on it.
talked them down to 24000 but still, felt like i could of gotten a better deal so i left.

i first went there during lunch from work with a coworker, it took them 30 minutes just to come up and greet us.

a week later i bought my car on craigslist and drove by there once for parts and smirked at the sales guy that was helping me.

yea they are retarded. My bro and I had both gotten a wrx from there, and they tried to rip him on an sti when they were brand new..........kinda expected......well they kept being lame on the prices of sti's........

when I finally got my 05 they were total dicks about it.................

so after going to carlsen I cruised back to WC to show them my new ride, where I saved about 4k relative to WC.

Also with my 04, I had a sub in it. Welll I ripped and rhyyyymed in my car quite a bit........cornering it to the max......

so then I take it in real fast to get some maint. done and check out surging issue........i get my car back and the sub has ripped out of its mount..................

I know it was definitely from someone swanging a donut or something. What a shame. yes they did drive it.

I think cats are insanely expensive for them to purchase, so that may be a speciality thing.

yeah, they are just to dumb to have a real view of how things work IMO

Oh to drop a dime....
