Don't use these a$&holes!!!!

I try to do most auto work myself so I can avoid issues, but I took an A-body 8 3/4 in to http://performance-gearing.com/ in Azusa (So. Cal) to replace a bad bearing end. He assured me that he would get it welded to the same length as original. When I got it home and measured, it was 1/4" shorter on that end. Uh... Thanks. What is it with these people and how do they stay in business?
