I used to have 2 friends in the area that I would have work on my cars when it was out of my league, or I didn't feel like working on it. But they both moved away, so now I'm kinda stuck for people to work on my car. Anywho, my Caddy needed some work, including a front end alignment. So, I took it to a local STS where my buddy used to work. I dropped the car off Friday night, so they could have it all day Sat. They called me at 400 on Sat, and told me it was done, except for the alignment. he told me I could pick it up, and then come back for the alignment. That would pretty much defeat the purpose, so I told him I would leave the car, and to do the alignment first thing Monday morning, so I would be able to pick it up around lunchtime. In the meantime I'm Bogarting my wife's truck. So, I get up this morning, and see that they haven't called me. Something told me I better call them instead of just showing up, so I called 'em. Sure enough, they haven't done the alignment yet, and said it wouldn't be ready until 230 or 300. Well, I need to leave for work no later than 130, so I rip the guy a new one for not having the car ready. Now I have to Bogart the wife's truck again, and she has things she need to do, so it puts her at a loss. I gotta find me a real mechanic again!
