OK, here's my story. I had to replace my water pump gasket, then I noticed that there were 1 or more oil metering pump lines melted to the engine. So I took it in to GT Garage to have them fix it all up so I could be 'worry free' thinking professionals would be working on my car. hah. They fix it, I drive home, then I notice that one of the oil metering pump lines is rubbing on a belt, so I take it back, they said they replaced it. About 200 miles later the waterpump housing to engine gasket goes. So I tell them, they said that is weird of it to break there and they could get to it in about a month. So I email them asking if they have found time for it, I get one back saying bring it in Monday or Tuesday (this was thursday or friday). I email back and call, asking what is your address? Because they moved. No responce. So I decide to do it all myself, I take it appart. Man, the fan is hard to get off. It was kinda jammed on there and stuck real good. When I get it off I realize that the the 2 bolts that hold the fan pully on are not there. Ok, Did they forget? Oh well, I can get them from the store. I pull everything else off to the waterpump, then I lossen up the air pump, huh, there is a bolt missing, get some light, oh, it's broken off in the waterpump housing! Damnit! So the pump was hardly on there. Then I pull the waterpump and housing off, alternator, and air pump. I'm losening up the pullys on the essentric shaft, 1, 2, 3, wait, where is the 4th one? I could swear there are supposed to be 4. It comes off taking out 3 bolts. Oh, there is a bolt broken off there too! SON OF A BITCH! I yell and freak out for a few minutes, call them leave a message on the machine. Then I was thinking, why did the gasket blow on the waterpump housing to engine? Well, this gasket looks like it's 15 years old! No way there are only 200 miles on it, so they actually didn't even replace the damn gasket. I also find that the oil metering pump line they 'replaced' because it was rubbing on a belt it just patched! Well, who knows what else it messed up, he also put in the pineapple 5/6 port sleeves. I'll be putting it back together tomorrow I hope if I can find all the right bolts that are broken and get the parts I ordered. If I find more messed up stuff I'll post it. Also, there is a sensor that is green right behind the alternator that is broken, I saw that at their shop when I picked it up, just thought it happen to have come lose then. I bet it broke when they literally tore it appart . Pictures are kinda iffy, I'll try and get a couple better ones.

Well I finally got a responce from Chris at GT Garage. He told me to bring it in wednesday. But since I've already fixed it all myself I will not be taking it back in. Not sure if I will ever be taking my car back to them.
