Was there some level of expectations for an $80 job? Who really gets down on all 4s to inspect your tips, I think you got your moneys worth.
Missing my point. I already admitted i wasnt expecting anything for $80. I more or so went there EXPECTING a DIY job. Just wasnt expecting them to half paint my tips where myself or litereally anyone could have done it better. The spots they missed are not even out of reach or hard to get to.

And, yes as ashamed to say it, i did pay someone to dip my exhauast tips. I would have laughed at myself 10 years ago for doing this. but as you age, you just dont have time to do anything anymore especially car related stuff. I used to change my diff, coolant flush, axles all in my parents garage on my s2000 when i was 23 lol. I just value my time more as i age. I figured instead of fiddling around myself for a few hrs diy'ing id just go quick in and out by someone whoes more experienced doing this as full time.

Im more or so pissed off at how they handled the situation. They keep doing their ghosting game, theyre eventually gonna piss off the wrong guy.
