Garage mechanics steal parts!!??

[foler]

Do you leave car alone for service? I never to this because I want to know what go in/on my car. I dont want to pay for premium parts and get st. I am always with car. Mechanics steal good parts from and use it on friends car. Paranoia? Maybe, but I have bad experience.

My new line of defense is to mark all relevant and new parts which going onto car. With glue, laser, cnc, labels...Anything what can make mark on part.

My garage stole a worn out clutch from my car. They were so blatant they even showed me how worn out it was! bds!

I am a mechanic, are you calling me a thief? fk you.

I fit the parts I am given to fit and do the best job I can, I have pride in my work and want customers to be happy with the work I have done for them.

If you leave your wheel nut key handy all the better, I hate digging through glove boxes and boots trying to find the bloody thing.

Don't judge others by your own apparently piss poor standards.

Is this when I can say my car goes to the main stealers for a service ?

The bd thief has even stolen some words from your post. Ask him if you can have them back so that your post makes sense.

Wow, I bet lazering and CNC machining identifying tags onto all the parts on your car is nearly as cheap as having them stolen

The last time I took my car to the garage the bds stole an oil leak from the front cover. I have informed my MP.
