They told us it would take an hour..but they didnt even start on it for an hour -_- next thing you know..we saw the guy drilling something so we decided to check wTH he was drilling.. -_- by that time..it was too late :[ apparently..they wore the nut off with the power tools and decided to drill the hole thinger part on the manifold (? i think that was what it was) [ hard to explain] ..but anywho..they decided to be smart and drill into the original part itself without any approval.. which is stupid because to replace to OEm part it's more expensive than the aftermarket part itself.. -_-

So they finish the job after 4 hours..and the manager was trying to be smart and told us he could charge us for 4 hours of work..which is stupid because it was work they wouldn't have had to done had they told us..

SO YEA..I won't be installing anything else from there..all I'll be getting from there is air fresheners.

Temple City. Might be a little far from you, but I assure you... He is an excellent mechanic. He's the guy that takes car of my DB8. If anyone can fix your problem, he can.

Parts there are kind of pricey. I only buy certain stuff from Autobacs.

Like:
1) Best Motoring DVDs
2) Royal Purple motor oil
3) Motul brake fluid
4) Air Spencer refills
5) Light bulbs

If you sign up for the VIP Card (Free, like Best Buy Reward Zone), you can get a little discount.

I would never get something installed at Autobacs either.

If you spend at least $30, you get $10 off. Helps a lot when I buy Royal Purple.

They sell Mobil1 at Autobacs. Do you buy your Mobil1 from Costco? It's cheap there.
