Thank god for non-interference engines.
I assume it was either an A. defective belt or B. not installed properly, as it only had 25,000 miles on it. You guys think I should take it back to the mechanic that did it and demand he fix it for free? That would present a towing issue, granted, as he's an hour away; whereas there's another shop at the bottom of my block that I could literally push the car to. At least I know why my car is not starting now. |

I would take it to the shop you had do it. They just might on their reputation fix it for you.
I had removed my pinstripes and found that the body shop in 1998 never fixed the old one but just painted over top of it and then cover it with the new one. They removed it for free. That was a 6 year difference from when it was done and when it was fixed. Give it a shot and see what they do. --------------------  hows it taste motha f*cka |
