Long story short my brother took my car out one night while i was sleeping, and blew the transmission. By the next day it was already in the shop where they were supposidly working on it, well a month passed with no progress. I have been calling the shop every day for the past 3 weeks, and every day it is a new excuse... this is the weekly schedule, it will be ready friday, friday comes then they say it will be ready monday, this has been goin on for almost a month now... tell me what you guys think and if you have ever had a similar problem... just needed to blow off some steam

Tell them you will be sending a tow truck to pick up the car and your not paying them s***. Have you gone to the shop to see the progress?

It's Tuesday. You warned them - tow your car somewhere else. If you choose to leave it with them, have them sign something with a reasonable estimated date of work completion. That way you have something to show in small claims court if this thing drags on for another couple of months. With nothing in writing, it's your word against theirs that you didn't agree with waiting this long.

im gona take ur advice and do that if its not ready tomarrow... hopefully it wont get to the point where we have to take it to court

WRBWRX2002

ok well car once again wasnt ready, i decided to get the full story before pulling it and turns out it wasnt the shops fault it was subarus not delivering some of the parts on time... just talked to them the car should be ready in about 30 minutes or sooooo if there are not problems, if so probably mid day tommarow which i cant complain about.... abouttt time d: )

spedmunki

some of these places that work on subarus can be a total pain in the ***..i brought my car in at one a few years ago for some transmission work and it was doen in a couple days...then on the way home everything on the f**king dashboard goes crazy...turs out they f*cked with some of the wires and screwed me over..but i took em to court and got everything fixed...it's definatley good to find somewhere where you can trust the mechanics.

WRBWRX2002

yeaaaa... well i went to the shop to drive it and see how they did and if everything was working right... it wouldnt go into reverse, and it wouldnt go into first and when it was in first it made this horrible screaching noise... so the shop appologized and said they wernt gona charge us and they sent my transmission to some other shop... but the other shop already has the full gearset soo whoo knowws when it will be ready.. could be this week could be next month... hopefully i will get it back soon its been almost 2 months... i really miss drivin my car d: (
