Not going to see these circle-jerk posts praising him and not say anything about it. He is a flake and rushes through cars he doesn’t want to work on and/or completely ignores the person for months (my case). He takes more responsibility than is due for his successes and wants no part in any of his failures, lying about or ignoring those. A 4 month plan to work on my car was ignored so he could work on 4-5 other cars in that same weekend. I would assume this is the reason he can’t hold down a job for more than two months. He has the smarts of a mechanic but the people, social and “ethical” skills of a 7th grade girl. Here’s a good way you could’ve solved your issues… Do everything on the car yourself! Since you want to stir up trouble… OK. How about you and “your new mechanic” talking shit about how Joe did this and that wrong on the MR2 and making fun of him… only to have “your new mechanic” call Joe in for help on a recent project? Look at why you are talking shit. You paid somebody to do stuff that you didn’t plan on paying for. You are upset because your car wasn’t on the road when you got home from school or whatever… it really doesn’t seem like a big deal to me at all. If he doesn’t want to work on your car, my car, whoever’s car… then so be it. The only thing being spent is his time. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/this-is-why-we-cant-have-nice-things-the-joe-jiggs-appreciation-thread/253459)._
