So a local rotor head put 5 lug setup with wheels/tires, calipers, rotors, proportioning valves, brake booster on my car a few days ago. The brake pads sucked but It was drivable enough to get home.
I go to get the pads at Orieley's (first mistake) The backs are in stock but the fronts are not, so they order them. A few days later I get the fronts, throw them in the truck and go get the 7 to take to Tomball muffler and brake to get the rotors turned. I get there and drop everything off. They call after ~1 hour and say the fronts are the wrong ones, so I pick them up and make the manager at Orieley's get the right ones asap. (I told them the EXACT year and that its 4 piston and they still managed to fuck up) They deliver them to the brake shop themselves.
A few hours later I go to pick the 7 up. (<- lol) They tell me that one of the rotors wasnt coming out right but he finally got it smooth. I got in and left (second mistake). I go to work. The car is making some weird noises, during left handed turns something makes a loud noise in the front right. The pedal is alittle soft, I thought they just needed to be bleed better. Well I leave work and go home. The pedal kept getting softer and softer. I was harldy able to stop from 20 mph at a stop sign, and getting it in the driveway and stopped was interesting. So I think WTF did they do!!! I go to look at the rotors. Got it smooth my ass! The front right looks horrible, its like chatter from the cutting and you can feel it easily with your finger. So not only did they screw up majorly with the brakes, but they lied about the rotor. level up to L2 douchebag!
I check the brake fluid resivoir... EMPTY wtf?
They aren't open tommorrow so my plans for that day are shot to hell. And now I will have to tow it to the shop, and they can pay for it. They fucked up now its time to suffer. Had the brakes failed completly 2 minutes before I would have ended up in some truck's tailgate or in a ditch.
Side note: when I went to pick it up he said it smokes alot. It only does that when you go over 3500 rpm when its not warmed up. So they also dogged on my car when it wasnt warmed up, fucking great. And later, for the first time EVER it wouldnt start.
And now it squeaks alot and shakes some too. They killed my 7. :(
