Beware Dumb Hot Rod Shops

Not just Hot Rod shops. It is hard to find any Auto Repair Shop you can trust.
I had a resent problem with my daily driver PT Cruiser. The brake lights weren't working.
Read up on it and found that they are computer control. I have no computer equipment. Called the local shop, made a appointment.
Told the service writer the computer needs flashed to repair.You are not allowed to speak to a tech only the service writer. Get a call after the car spent the whole day and was told,
"After 2 1/2 hours the tech can't find the problem." I asked "Did you re-program the computer ? "
Service writer says "I don't know we can check tomorrow". Next day car was ready. Took a whole 15 minutes to flash.
All he had to do was LISTEN TO ME when I set up the appointment. :mad:
