I think you should only have to pay the original $390. Everything else should have been on him because of his incompetance.

By the way, there is a Hall of Fame/Shame thread on here. It is a place you could post about businesses you really liked, and ones you would never go to again (so others can avoid them too). You should put this guys shop in that list, and i'm not thinking Fame either.

Here it is:

He had to replace both o2 sensors he said. He didn't even call me yesterday to check in with me. He should take blame for his job and at least be coming level with me on this price. When I get down there I expect him to lower that price. I already paid him $390 for the job. And then $190 the second time. Now he has the nerve to charge me $337? **** that, you don't do that to somebody, especially after I already paid him for that original job, which he ****ed up himself. I'm just so annoyed right now, I'm going down right now to go get the truck...What a ****ing *******.

wow dude, your mechanic thinks he smells some good old ***** and now he wants to **** you. You can't let that happen.If there's anything wrong with those oxygen sensors it's because he ****ed them up. I don't even know why he replaced the rear one cause there probably wasn't anything wrong with it.

Honestly I wouldn't even get all excited yet, casue I have a feeling the next time you post it will be about how your truck stalled on the way home from the shop. Hopefully this is not the case.

Let me say it one more time real big just so i feel better...
YOU CANNOT PAY THIS GUY

I can't beleive you payed him the last time and he didn't fix anything. You've already paid like a thousand dollars for headers and this cranks it up to like 1400. I've seen my dad shoot at people over less money than thatso I'm fairly sure this mechanic doesn't do that to everybody becasue I don't think he'd still be around, and this time before you leave make sure he takes a ride with you incase it starts acting up again.

Deffinetly deffinetly post the name of this place in the hall of shame so no other people accidentally go to this place.

Good luck neon, I really hope your truck is back on the road after this. If it's not I'll give you the name of a mechanic in Pennsylvania. It's a drive, but he actually knows how to fix vehicles. Then we'll go feed your old mechanic to the pigs

Yes and No. I contacted summitracing like 2 weeks ago in regards to an extension by a company called Caspers Electronics. They make extensions, just not for our trucks. Summit gave me the number for caspers (i threw it away though) and said they would probably make a custom unit.
