I was driving my 2001 Nissan Sentra to the fucking store last weekend, when the dreaded "check engine" light came on. Fuck, I thought to myself - as if buying Xmas presents and saving for a vacation in Jan. wasn't enough, now I have to worry about the WHIP??
I made an appointment to take it into the dealership this morning, and right away I could tell that the mechanic "Damon" was on some bullshit. "Oh I saw a bunch of things just looking under the hood", FUCK YOU MY MAN NO YOU DIDN'T. And he tells me that my tires need alignment when I just got new tires and an alignment a few months ago! FUCK YOU MY MAN. Then to top it all off, they tell me that the "free" shuttle only goes out 15 miles and they don't pick you up. Well I'm 18 miles away from the goddamn dealership and you best believe they wouldn't give me a fucking ride, so I had to beg a cool co-worker o' mine for a lift, which happily he obliged.
About an hour ago I get a call telling me that my "Intake Cam Timing Sensor" needs to be replaced, for a low low price of $240! Fuck yeah!! I told him to hold off, then I started doing some internet research. Turns out that "Failure of the IVTC position censor can cause the check engine light to illuminate", according to Carfax.com. The car doesn't stop working, THE FUCKING LIGHT COMES ON. THAT'S
IT. So now I'm pissed and I'm calling all these repair shops. Every one of them is like "huh? I've never known that as something that needs replacing, and if it did, it sure wouldn't cost $240". One shop told me I could come in and get a free estimate. My dealer charged me $40 just to see what the fuck is wrong! Man fuck these people.
So I made an appointment with the place that will give me the free estimate, and just left a message with the dealership telling them that I've decided to take the car elsewhere. Man, I am so fucking heated right now.
