So I had my PS hose replaced two weeks ago at Bernardi Acura (Acura of Boston). I am always so sketched out about handing my keys to someone but I figured everything would be ok since this is a relatively simple service. They gave me a V6 TSX for the day, so that was sweet. Upon returning to pick my car up, I noticed the hood wasn't fully closed. I opened it and took a look. Everything seemed fine, new hose, no spills. So I shut the hood and drove home. A few days later I was detailing the engine bay and found a 10mm 3/8"-drive snap-on socket and a corresponding 10mm bracket bolt sitting up by the windshield wiper/climate vent area in the bay. I started looking all over for where this bolt could have come from but couldn't find any place missing it. It really has started to sketch me out though, thinking that they were in such a rush they might not have put everything back together etc. On the other hand, I couldn't locate where this bolt may have come from since it is likely that they replaced it with a new one and it would be a huge waste of time going back over there and having them look around. What do you think I should do?

Also, if I go back, I will have to return my new 10mm socket. Stupid technicians.

 

That's your socket now. All you found was a 10mm bracket bolt loose in the engine bay, which you're pissed off about since it can easily get stuck in the belt and cause alot of damage.

 

now you have a choice keep it or bring it back and let them know where u found it. you are lucky it they did not do any damage

 

dude - go back and make them check the engine bay over carefully. That's retarded -

 

They were so nice to give you a free socket. My dealer left the red p/s cap on the engine next to the oil dip stick, and gave me my car back to drive home!!!!

 

Oh man, that's a good way to get a free rack out of it if you happened to suck up some debris! These guys have no attention to detail...
