Merchant's Tire and Auto Center. Fuck them.

Seriously, fuck 'em. I went there to get some work done on my car. All they were doing was replacing a belt that controlled the power steering and engine cooling. They told me it would be done within an hour or two. I sat there for about 7 hours that day. After it was finally finished, I left with my car, just glad to be gone.

LOL NOPE. After about five minutes of driving, the power steering goes out and I see the engine heating up. Lucky for me, I have AAA, so I got my car towed back there. I told them what happened, and they said they would replace the belt (again). Well, turns out they weren't going to be able to do it until morning. At that point, I should've demanded a refund and taken the car somewhere else. Stupidly, I didn't.

I ended up having to take a cab ($50) home, and back to pick it up the next day. I at least got them to reimburse me for the cost of the cab fare.

Their apology? A few complimentary oil change coupons. Won't be using them, though. Had a friend who went there for an oil change and was able to prove they didn't even do the work...

So, fuck 'em.
