I had the EXACT same thing happen with one of my cars, a ML 320. It took 3 YEARS to finalize the settlement, and 4600 dollars later. I ended up not having the car for 3 months while they fought over repairs which they only paid years later.

the best recommendation, that i always follow, is double checking on the oil filter / drain plug before leaving the shop, always.

 

I'm a South African (WHITE) and I have never ever in my life come across so many people that be little one another. I'm really disgusted with some of the people on this site. I mean we are all here to share our experiences and help each other and not look at the bad but try and find the good in each other. I might sound like a gay guy when I say it really hurts me to see and hear so many people telling others how they suck. I mean we're all just human and everyone makes mistakes. I pray that everyone on this site will see the good in others and respect others. So what if a thread is posted ten time and so what if you have a better car and so what if anything. All I ask is that we all just try and be tollerant towards each other. You know when someone posts something on here or anywhere they are posting it because either they are proud of what they have written or they are hoping to help someone else not make the same mistake. To Lord our God would never judge us so why are we always so quick to judge others. I pray that this thread reply of mine sinks into everyones hearts here and I pray that you all could enter the sight thinking how can I make someone smile today? What can I say to make someone feel better and what can I do to make my neighbours and my friends smile? It may be just a small sentence but it can mean the difference. People have chosen not to commit suicide because of oneperson showing them a little kindness and love. Word are very sharp and can hurt more than any sword or stone in the world. Words can destroy lives and cause tremendous hurt and pain. So the next time we post replys please remember it's just another person on the other end(Friend, neighbour, whatever) God bless the world and all his people. Amen and Amen.

 

I've had the car back now for 3 days.. The price of brand new (not rebuilt) turbos with labor would have been as much as a single so jason opted for the single, then he told me he was selling his t-78, so i bought that.. The Lube place paid for the turbos and are lucky the motor had good compression and ect. So they bought me a free t-78, worked out in my favor really well. I had to pay like $1100 in fuel system and boost control in order to run it but a small price to pay for a t-78

 

Its looks like it was in, but not to tight, i thought they over tightend it with like air tools or something, i knew i was in trouble at that place when the guy tried to tell me and my friend my rx-7 had a toyota motor in it.

 

just like when I took my car to a Mazda dealership to ask for service and the first thing they asked me is what is that car I was driving... I just left hahhaha

 

good ****, at least you came up out of the whole deal....

 

Hallelujah, AMEN!






























ps. "Man you were lucky, glad it worked out in the end."

 

Yah, i got real lucky

 

you should've told them that you had a GT35/40 or something like that . Atleast it worked out okay.

 

I like t-78s better than gt35/40, lag is overrated and 78's lil more top end power

 

I had two trannies destroyed by lube shops. I got them each to payup and fix the car within a month or so.

 

????

 

D'oh

 

I know this is an old thread but I can't help but laugh my *** off at this post. I think it's absolutely hilarous. This guy went on a one-day, 7 post rampage against everyone. Where is this guy when I need a laugh?

 

only an idiot or crackhead would test drive a 1900 hp car with his wife...

 

^ Wow.... thanks for coming out.
