Had my car towed here after I smoked a pothole and piece of concrete on I75. Tire was blown out and the rear suspension was clunking pretty bad when I pulled off the freeway. I received a call from a tech the next morning saying they got my car and needed to order a tire, which would take 4-5 days. I mentioned the suspension and they said they would look at it. Over a week later I get a call saying the car is done, I asked about the clunking and I was told my rear end links were loose so they tightened them. I asked is the clunking gone and I was told that it was. Its worth mentioning I put heavy duty front and rear end links on this car about a month and a half prior, I know what noise a bad end link makes. The noise I was hearing after I hit the pot hole was not the same. I paid the bill and before I was even out of the parking lot I heard the suspension clunking. I went back and was told that I needed new end links. I mentioned they were new, and was told again that I need new ones. At this point I left and said I would take the car elsewhere. Soon as I got on the main road I noticed the car was pulling to the left. There was no line item listed on the receipt for an alignment, I guess I shouldn't have assumed this would be done after hitting a pothole at freeway speeds. The only thing they got right was putting the tire on the wheel and balancing it properly...they didn't even use a matching weight so now I have 1 wheel with a big weight on the lip of the wheel.
AB, we apologize for any misunderstanding. When you brought your car in we let you know how long it would take to get your tires we had to specialty order. When we brought your vehicle in to put the tire on, we did a full inspection of the rear suspension. We tightened your after market rear end parts that were loose on your sway bar links. We were unable to find any other issues during the inspection. When you came to pick your vehicle up, the tech that worked on your vehicle wanted to take a test ride with you because even after tightening, your after market parts were still loose. Again, we apologize for any misunderstanding.
