Unfortunately, I think you're all correct. I've had (and have known others) that have had similar problems. I also used to know a guy that worked as a mechanic for Pep Boys. Let me just say this... His car burned to the ground because he didn't think he needed to get a fuel leak fixed. If that's how they treat their own cars, how do you think they'll treat yours?
