I do all my own wrenching (the most involved was replacing the clutch - for this very car, a year ago). But this is my son's car, he is totally car-illiterate. He has been using this shop for 7 years and is satisfied with their services. I ask the owner car questions from time to time too (by phone, I live 60 miles away); have been impressed by the owner's knowledge and his willingness to help.
I feel the same way as LIFETIMEOFSAABS does. Mistakes does happen, some one in the shop goofed. I don't have any anger and hopefully the issue could be resolved between honorable parties. I don't have any preconceived ideas on what constitutes a satisfactory resolution. Will contact the owner next week and hear him out.
By the way, I understand baggsly's point of sensing something wrong before the seizure. I can only attribute this "missed opportunity" (for lack of a better expression) to my son's total lack of mechanical sense, a point well recognized by the shop owner too. Perhaps this point will give us a good common ground to work out the issue.
