About a week ago my bro and I put some suspension into my BMW. My bro pulled a he-man move and sheared a bolt head from a bolt holding the strut to the front spindle. I call ASS at 8:30 am the next morning and they seem eager to work on the car. I get in at 12 pm for the appointment and within 15 minutes the car is in the air and Darryl himself is taking control. My car is not the lowest but still was low for the lift. Darryl obviously has done this a ton of times as he carefully drove it up on blocks and got the 3er up there. Within 5 minutes the tie rod was off and the guys were checking around to see what size drill bit should be used to make the hole. ![http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m380/ajg914/Random/IMAG0233.jpg](http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m380/ajg914/Random/IMAG0233.jpg) ![http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m380/ajg914/Random/IMAG02342.jpg](http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m380/ajg914/Random/IMAG02342.jpg) A pilot was used to mark the start point and a few whirs later, there was a nice hole in the leftover bolt material. Bolt removed with reverse thread bit, no threads damaged on knuckle FTW! ![http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m380/ajg914/Random/IMAG0236.jpg](http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m380/ajg914/Random/IMAG0236.jpg) Instead of getting cussed at for the bonehead move in the first place, I was being treated like the only customer there as I watched the crew. Next thing I knew it was time to apply heat and expand the hole so the reverse threaded bit could work the magic… Soon enough the sorry bolt fragment was out and the new one was in place. Old fragment: ![http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m380/ajg914/Random/IMAG0235.jpg](http://i333.photobucket.com/albums/m380/ajg914/Random/IMAG0235.jpg) Tie rod end was assembled, wheel put on, and the car was done in about 40 minutes. First repair I have ever had done during my lunch hour. And here I was wondering how to get a ride in case I needed to get back to the office. The expedited repair and quick turnaround was appreciated- now that my suspension is tight and my new wheels and tires are on the car, an aligment at this can-do quality operation will be scheduled soon. Thanks DC and crew for the upbeat attitude and very fair rates. Keep it up and you’ll see a lot of growth! I will definitely be back! :thumb ---
