MyGyver Fix to a botched Job. Damage to my car.
<p> So today I went to Hi Q Wynberg in Sandton Area which has Morris as the manager. I asked them to do the work of replacing my front shocks, stabiliser links and both control arms. For this to be done I watched as they took off the tie rod ends. Once the job was completed we went for a test drive down the road, me in the passenger side. A few hundred meters from the shop the mechanic suddenly pulled up the handbrake and we swerved between two lanes and then almost colliding with the truck in front of us. I asked why did you do that, he said "there were no brakes.. I forgot to pump the brakes before we left the shop".. :(!!!!! After a while driving my car on the highway that same day I noticed a knocking when turning the steering wheel, I pulled into the nearest Speedys to check what it was since the whole front suspension was brand new and just installed! The Tie rod end had been threaded and a McGyver style fix was used to cover up for the threaded tie rod with two bolts instead of the usual one!! Totally dishonest!!! Dangerous!!! More money now having to be spent to fix it both for the tie rod and for another wheel alignment! Never mind how dangerous that is if I didn't check what was happening!!! Disgusted at the service and lack of honesty with this ***** up by Hi-Q</p>
