[car] Fresh Pond Mobil lied about work needed.

(google maps)

They said I had "play in [my] left inner tie rod".

I took it to the mechanic I bought it from, and trust, he jacked the wheel off the ground and shook it, and it looked nice and solid. And he's the one I'd pay to fix it. And he didn't charge me to look at it.

Your link is broken, it should be:

Dishonest shops drive me up the wall. There was a shop down the street from where I grew up, we had all our cars serviced there for about 15 years. Then they screwed myself and a friend over on two successive repairs. I have never returned, and have warned people away ever since. So a 15 year and many thousand dollar customer, pissed away to make a couple extra bucks, or not bother to do the work right.

Thanks. The problem was hitting the title field size without noticing.

Yeah, that sucks.
