Haha maybe I'm wrong, maybe the previous owner took it to the dealer too often and they were screwing things up

Goodson is going quite a few deals at the moment. I've got a few coupons from them:
1) $60.00 alignment
2) 10% off any major service
3) 10% off regular price accessories (mmm, A-Spec kit)
And $1,000 off trade in.

I wouldn't be surprised by most of the stuff. My tech teacher was telling me all the shit he saw happen in the Toyota, Chevy, and Pontiac dealerships.

You cant put that on most techs. Of course in every dealership there will be a "hack" which is what we call it. No such thing as a perfect dealership. Just ask for known techs to work on your car and usually you get good service. You know you can pick your tech at dealerships pretty much with your service writer. Usually it works out well. And if they dont let you fuck em.

It really has nothing to do with their work, but more so, outside of work. Last Wednesday night was a great example.

thats crap! Good thing it only looks like the bumper took most of the damage. You can go under with a hammer and see if you can pop it out and salvage it. Also see if you had cameras where you were at. That sometimes helps

The pictures can't really show it, but the ledge for the trunk is also damage, all the pressure kinda crunched everything. I went around all day getting different quotes and opinions and looks like I'm definitely needing a new bumper. Car goes to the shop on Thursday.

If I come to Londoner tonight, will I be able to get in Ethan? I'm guessing I have to come before 9?

Oh damn that sucks man Sorry to hear about that hit and run. I would definitely check to see if there were cameras to possibly see who hit you.

As long as you come before 9, I believe you'll be fine. You just can't leave afterwards & come back in, iirc.

Got any sc or turbo cars in Texas? I'm tryin to figure out where I'm going with it. So far I have installed new headers, cai, Short Throw Shifter, Replaced all brakes including rotors and calipers, All new bushings / ball joints in the front. Next move - lowering and sway bars.

Ya'll ever get out on Lake Ray Hubbard? You might recognize my boat.

Here is the link for the Goodson Acura Coupons. Looks like the Timing Belt Service is a steal. I called David McDavid in Plano to see if they would match the alignment deal or the timing belt deal and they said it's too cheap for them to match. May wanna jump on these deals before they're gone
