Just Fed up with the work done on my car .

Man I really hate hearing these kinds of tales about auto repair shops. That’s the reason people are gun shy of most so called repair centers. A real technician that knows his stuff would repair or replace anything he breaks in the process of repair or diagnostics. Everyone is correct about things getting broken because of age or heat. It happens. It’s what you do after that shows your worth. All I can offer is a hope that things get better for you sir!
 
A good mechanic, word gets around. They have more work than they can do. The quality of cars used to be better. But since the computer controlled engines, they do last longer. But when you get a lemon.......You pay dearly.....
 
OH , I have a bottle of Evan Williams but if I'm going to ruin my life , Mr . Jack Daniels will be my confidant .

In a Blackout , I do not trust the Spirits that I chose to put in my body ,
At least you understand that. Don't feel bad. I have 8 vehicles. All but one has a current problem right now. But all mine accumulated don't add up to what you have goin on
 
I will add , I have been wanting to Google , "does a Complete compression test come along with a standard diagnostic scan " .

I just did & the consensus shows ' No ' it's usually an extra $200 + .

So my $95 got me all that ? Nice of them to help a brother out . LOL

Funny when I went in there yesterday , the guy states " You could have got the test at AUTOZONE ! " & I replied ' does AutoZone have the same high tech scanner you use ?

He had no reply .

I have given them a chance to sincerely apologize , for taking it apart without asking me first but all I got was Cold Emotion .

I will give them till Monday to reply to my E-mail sent last Wed . I don't want them to replace the Coils & Plugs ( It would be nice ) & did I ask for my $100 Bills back .

Before I start my Review Bomb's & Calls to the State , but I now accept , I should have got in writing exactly what a 'Diagnostic Scan includes at that shop ' . Now I Fully Trust No One that has not already proven they are good people to be in the past .

They guy made my point by saying ' Once you mess with things on these older cars issues can pop up ' ... Well No Ship !
Yep. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!
 
1997-2003 Ford 4.6 and 5.4 engines are notorious for rough idle issues related to spark plugs and coil pack issues. As a previous owner of both engines,I have replaced many coil packs that caused a multitude of issues to present themselves. Every single time,new plugs and coils worked like a charm.

It;s a 2006 , but have read many still have those issues , I will get one more opinion this week & go from there .


Have a great week .
 
It will all work out , & heck , I could imagine having 8 vehicles , that would drive me crazy .

I wish you all the best .
I've had 3 broke down at one time. I never intended to have that many. But at least I always have somethin to drive. 8 includes a motorcycle
