Idiots...

Do you KNOW the other side of the story?? Exactly what was said buy the previous owner to the shop? If no, assuming anything is not something that should be done. Applying blind logic here just is not a good idea, in my opinion. For all you know the previous owners very well could have told the shop owner I am dumping this turd, just get it running so I can sell it. My best friend owns a trans shop, you would be surprised at what people ask him to do.....

I could not agree more! In our shop we see it all the time from people " Just put what it needs and nothing more" WE WILL NOT DO IT! Try taking apart a 3.5 Nissan Alantra to replace the primary timing chain and not the two secondary cam chains along with all the guides and tensioners! If any other mechanic has worked on one of these they will back me up on this, they are a pain in the ***! Been there and done that for the last time. Not in our shop! If you want it done half ***, take it somewhere else. Like I always say, "THERE ARE THREE SIDE TO EVERY STORY,YOUR SIDE,HIS SIDE, AND THE TRUTH SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE."
