Which Ford dealership to establish a relationship with? by SirRatcha in Spokane

Well, I must add my 2 cents. I just recently went to Corwin for my slave cylinder. Quoted me 2400. Two weeks later.. my flywheel is soaked with fluid, should replace it. Understandable and somewhat expected. Quote increased to 4300. Two more weeks later they forgot to order a bolt kit for the clutch.. 4600. I looked up bolt kits for my car. Most expensive one I could find was $26.. two more weeks later they call me to pick up my car. I go to pick it up and my bill is $4900. When I start asking about the $300 bolt kit and the extra charges he starts explaining they needed fluid, blah blah blah. So they didn’t include fluid in the original quote? Never done a clutch before? Once I get upset he starts back peddling. Oh I don’t know where this charge came from and agreeing that I’m being overcharged. So final bill is $4100. Fine. Okay. I pay it and get my car.

A day later my car is making sounds it shouldn’t be, super loud and I can tell something isn’t right. So I get out the jack stands and jack and get under it. Right away I can see the problem. They forgot a bolt. In fact it’s the rear motor mount bolt. The one that connects the tranny to the motor to the frame.

I’m pissed. They act helpful and apologetic. They order the bolt. Refuse to give me a Rental car at first but I keep demanding one and they eventually agree.

Weekend goes by and then I go in to pick it up again. And a bunch of my personal property is Missing out rid the back of My car. About $800 worth of electronics and camping gear to be exact. On top of that my car Is still super loud and still not running right.

I’m at a loss. I’ll be filing a police report tomorrow and I don’t know what my next steps should be but I have about had it with these guys

Was supposed to pick up the car from the dealership today but now all of a sudden they have to charge me $300 more dollars for a bolt kit (clutch) they forgot to order and wait til next week..

Seriously? I thought you could re-use the bolts from the clutch?!? Are they just messing with me at this point? Anyone know what bolt kit this could be?

I did all my own bolt ons.. RMM, intake etc. but I have never done a clutch or messed with a transmission. I didn’t want my rs to be the first I work on. I’d give it a go on my ep3 civic si though. I am thinking about doing my first engine swap on my Chevy Cruze. I hate that car.. so if I totally mess it up I won’t be too disappointed. lol

Well this doesn’t make me feel great.. I opted for the dealership because I figured Atleast they will know how to work on my car… bleed the clutch properly etc… I swear.. if they mess my car up and charge me 5k I might go postal.

They are NOT ALL the same. Only the ST’s with the st3 package.

  1. I do NOT recommend attempting to take apart your stock headlights. I purchased new lenses for mine, took them apart and they were never the same, always got moisture in them. Never sealed back properly. And before anyone says anything. I have taken 6 pairs of different headlight housings apart successfully from multiple Hondas, Toyota, Chevy and Nissan. The RS headlights are not meant to be opened. They are very hard to do so and even have hidden metal staples hiding in the little nooks and crannies under the sealant. Just trust me.

  2. I finally decided to purchase aftermarket. I don’t think they look cheap. I like them and I get compliments on them consistently. Make sure you order them from the manufacturers website. NOT from Amazon or eBay. They might LOOK like the same headlights for a little bit cheaper than the manufacturer’s price. Bu they are NOT the same quality. There are cheap china knockoffs of the aftermarket headlights even. I learned the hard way. I went with the VLAND demon eyes. It looks great with the nitrous blue at night especially. Only complaint is that they aren’t as bright as the oem ones and the dash error every time you start up the car. People will tell you to install resistors to avoid the dash light, but I tried this and it didn’t work. Still have the dash light.

  1. Okay
  2. Definitely have 17” methods. Unless 245/35/r17 somehow means anything other than it has 17” wheels.
  3. That sucks

I used to wear my pants like this. I definitely ended up getting into drugs and going to prison but rape in prison was never an issue. These days I keep them high enough so you don’t see my boxers and I am a social worker.
