Fucking hell, this has gotten to the point of ridiculous. Early this summer my clutch started to slip, and naturally being the student I am, I had to find a cheap place to get it done, and after looking around I found a really cheap place, Pepboys.
I thought to myself "Well, I have never heard about any of their work, so no news is good news."
Bullshit.
After waiting 2 weeks for the parts to get in, they finally do my clutch. Things are great, for a week.
A week goes by and I notice a strange noise, I pass it off as something cold. Another week goes by it gets louder. I play around with my car and notice that it stops when I put the clutch in. After those test results it could only be one thing, my throw out bearings.
I eventually take it back to pepboys and tell them my throw out bearings needed to be replaced. They checked it, and agreed. So another week rolls by and they put an entire new clutch set in.
I was extremely pleased.
Two days pass, and that whistling comes back. I was pretty mad, either the mechanic sucks, or they are using shitty parts.
I bring it back again, this time requesting a different mechanic, so they get a new mechanic. This guy didn't even look at the clutch. He just put fluid in so it would catch higher. That was done less than a week ago, and now my clutch is burning.
Yes burning, my car smells like something died and you get high sitting in it. I'm not talking about hot boxing that fucker either. Those toxic fumes from the burning clutch get inside the car, and it reeks. I swear to god I have already lost a bunch of brain cells.
It wouldn't surprise me if my car wasn't even drivable by Friday...Fucking pepboys.
If they can't do something right the first time, the second time their work is worse. By the third time they don't even take the time to fix it, they just rig the fucker.
Tell anyone you know who likes pepboys about this, those fuckers should burn.

Well, sorry Mr. MoneyBags, I don't have a lot of money to go out and get work done at other places... I had to borrow money from my parents, and I still owe them...

that's what you get for buying cheap parts and incompetent labor. I'm guessing that it ain't all that cheap after all, when you consider the pain in the ass factor. Pep boys,Chief autoparts, Auto Zone and lots more auto parts places buy the cheapest reman. parts they can find and YOU are a tool for buying them.
