I have a check gages light!!!!!!!!!

The poblem of taking my car to a "professional" is is that I am very paranoid about them screwing up something in my car so that they can make a little extra cash. I really would like to take it there but i'm to scared.

(I know i'm a idiot but hey I do have reasons)

And no I have never mixed the green and orange...and It's orange.

Take it to a well know dealer... I have a 90 day warrentywhen i had my work done at the dealership so if somthing broke i would go back and bitch at them... If you know what is wrong, read up on it a little bit... that way if they try charging your 3hr's or labor to remove valve cover and replace the gasket you can tell them to go fuck themselves when its a 45-1hr job...i refused to pay for it and went right to the General manager overseeing the serive Dept manager... and told them they can go fuck themselves if they thought i was going to pay 390 bucks to have that done... tell them the steps you have to go through and name everything right... funny how i only had to pay 45 min or labor and 9 bucks for the gasket... also threating to call the BBB along with posting picketing signs in my backwindow wile car was waiting to be serviced..... just got to know the ways around things bro...

That is why you need to step up and do some research and learning about engines and their systems before you go to the mechanic before they have a chance to bullshit you.

My mechanic gives me a 1 year/20,000km warranty on all labor done. He is not a dealership.

is this directed towards me or the kid with the problem?....

If me then;

I bought the car 3yrs ago and it hasn't been back in 2yrs...i had the knowledge back then, just not the place to do the work nor tools, so that was really my only option, i was armed with knowledge, thats why i put them in their place and showed them they can't pull a fast one over me.... now i can't get people to leave me alone about fixen their damn problems, Once you have tools its like your god to some people... brakes seem to be the most problems i get.... i think i am fare for chargin 50 bucks to put new rotors, pads,lubing the sliders, drums and internal hardware and new shoes plus cost of parts... i tell people not to skimp out in that area on cheap brakes cause they will go in no time flat...

No, not you.
