That guy is a lube tech, shouldn't have been doing a brake job anyways

He's cool though, that dealership just sucks balls that's why i don't work there anymore

They are a "Christian based" stealership lol, how you can sell cars and be Christian based is beyond me.. We used to call it the CCA (Crooked Christian Coalition)

Anyways let's not rant in this thread about that
Actually picked up the car this afternoon, went to fill up and the damn thing wouldn't start aftwards, of course the few missing teeth were perfectly lined up so I couldn't start her. Nothing like the first restart having to get push started! lol good times

Yeah he seemed like a nice enough guy, but he didn't know much about cars. Evidently the rotor turning machine was "broken" that day. He turned the left rotor once. Then he turned the right rotor twice! The car shook horribly yet they still delivered it to my wife saying everything was fine. She got about half a block away before she came back and bitched everyone out. They also stripped one of the studs.

Enough bitching though...have fun with the new car. Definately an interesting color.

What kind of car was it? Most of the newer Mazdas the rotors can't even be turned because the material is too soft and they go below spec by the first set of pads after turning them .

Yeah the color, it's different. Not really my choice but it's a nice paint job and I'd rather put money into the car not into the paint

Yeah it came with a set of stock GT turbines, debating on swapping them back. Thanks all for the compliments. This weeks' project is getting that auto trans in there. I can't even start her up without a little push and a clutch pop
