In the end, Sasha ended up putting in way more time than he had to and charged me a little more but I was more than happy to pay it. Why? Because he got the job done and went the extra mile in the end.

Wow. I actually agree with you. You cant just blame the car and call it a hack job and think everyone will agree with you. I have seen tons of rust buckets with Sr’s that used to be “hack jobs”. When a car is taken to a professional shop then it should receive a professional treatment. If, he didnt have money and you felt bad for him, then why did you charge him 1000+?

This seems very fishy. I have also seen the s14 you guys Sr’d. That also seems like a hack job. The alarm was held with duct tape for god sake. Part of the KA wiring harness is still there, the piping size changes, and the bov is on the wrong side. If im wrong then i take all this back.
