Yeah, I once dated a girl that had her oil changed at a shop, and they didn't put any oil back in it. Of course, it blew the engine in her car, and when she went in to confront them about it, they refused to do anything.

She ended up being an evil hooch, so she probably deserved it, but still.

Hope you get something out of it GoldPro. Since you were standing right there and saw it, they can't deny anything, which is good.

I used to run a shop and that happens more than you would think. Usually when it happens with cars and they get hung up on the rocker panels. I guess it is time for them to update their alignment machine. The one they have is about 15 years old so they were due for a new one anyway. That one was only worth about $1K or so. A new one will run them about $40k.

At least you have a back up ram lol.

Usually in shops you think they'd let someone a little older move the vehicles but I guess not...
Could have at least asked the dumbass if he knew how to drive a stick before they let him jump your truck off the ramp...

First time I pulled a vehicle on the rack last year, I ran the door into one of the poles, however in all fairness the rack is from the 40's and is really narrow, but luckily it wasnt too bad, and the truck was an old beat up GMC

Ah, give the kid a break, everyone starts somewhere. On the bright side, at least it happened to a crappy Dodge and not some nice vehicle.

JK, JK lol.
