beware of larry's imports hampton roads area

they put a used fuel tank in for me, after ocean audio drilled a hole in the original one. after i got my car back, the metal panel that goes in front of the tank in the trunk was bent up in one spot, and it was missing a bolt as well. what really sucks is my fuel sender unit never worked properly after i got the car back...the low fuel light doesn't come on (except when i start the car when it does a self-check of all the lights), and now when it reads 1/8 of a tank, it actually is empty. i have run out of fuel twice because of larry's...once because of the low fuel light not working, and once because the gauge is inaccurrate. steer clear of this shop!

I guess we should stay away from Ocean Audio too?

Question Did you call them?

I'm curious; Did you ever call them or go back and ask them to fix what they did? I mean, a dent is easy to take care of, but from experience, the fuel sender is a PITA sometimes. Plus, it's a $200.00 part. I would think that any reputable shop would fix their own mistakes.
