oh I didn't pay for it, don't worry.
I feel kinda bad for the kid, because he was the victim of my wholly understandable rage.
They did the timing belt, and did a valve adjustment for me, then the owner of the shop went hunting for work, had his guys take off all the tires and look over everything, found a dragging rear brake shoe because of a broken pin. (i know because I saw it beforehand myself, im totally aware of all the issues with the vehicle)
Then he proclaimed it a safety issue, and told his guys to fix it adding something like 300 dollars to the bill for 3 hours of labor and parts taking apart the rear drums and adjusting.
Then he left for the day.
EDIT- what really drove me nuts is I heard the whole gambit of excuses from the kid, up to and including "your life shouldnt be worth 300 bucks" My response being "bull****, save that crap for someone else, no tires were about to fall off, and I don't want to hear about it. "
the thing has new wheel bearings on all corners, and they were all correctly adjusted immediately prior.
