Seems like every time I go to fix something on this Oldsmobile Starfire I come across another abortion a "supposed" mechanic fixed.
So all the brake parts came in and I'm about to disconnect the hard brake lines from the hoses in the front, and what do I find? The fittings are stripped to holy hell, so instead of fixing it right and replacing the fitting, they used vice grips and completely destroyed the fittings, so now I'm stuck with replacing both front brake lines because I can't get them apart.
What pisses me off more than anything is someone who thinks they know what they are doing, but really shouldn't be breathing the same air that we do. I hate hack mechanics. If you're going to do something, take the time and do it right.
Just because you are on the clock and trying to get as many jobs done so you can make more money, that's no excuse for doing a shitty job.
So now that I'm into it this far, I'll just rebend and replace all the hard brake lines.
Rant over.
