I hate shops that do this shit. Put out quality work to their "friends" or people that they think are mechanically inclined to what is going on. Then fleece people that come in that aren't.
I find this statement the most insulting to other businesses.

I agree 100%...dropping a ball is maybe something that could have been overlooked. Accidentally switching fuel lines, forgetting to tighten a clamp or plugging something in...not with the quality of work they did on that car. Seriously, you charged a guy $14k and you cant get some straight pipes to redo the exhaust? Why the fuck would you even attempt to salvage that if thats what they were attempting to do. You dont salvage 1 foot sections and weld them together to make an exhaust. That right there is what screams fucking bullshit over the whole thing.
But also, I'm curious to see what the FD's owner has to say.
