A dealership story...

[Ivan141]

You should have walked away much earlier judging from the experiences you've had with them BEFORE you dropped the car off.
If they're disrespectfull or un-interested, what kind of job can you expect them to do?

Real dealerships over here often do have qualified expert mechanics, I should know, volvo lets me work on my trackcar at the dealership and I often need to ask their mechanics for advice. But fixing up modified old vehicles is not always their cup of tea, I'd expect a specialised company to do a better job for less.
