update:

front calipers were completely rusted through, which caused the rotors to warp even though they were brand new (from P.O.), so calipers and front rotors were replaced.

also he told me one of the O2 sensors died as they were about to wash the car for delivery. this car just had to get one last lick in. fuckin a

Are you able to post the quote that your indy provided to fix all the aforementioned issues? I am starting to doubt your indy now....

I had seized up front caliper (drivers side) too and that did not warp my rotors. My car being a Canadian one, has extremely rusted rotors (amongst other things)

Which O2 sensor died? Pre or post cat? The pre-cat ones are extremely easy to replace. Also, they tend to soft-fail...and usually its the O2 sensor heaters that die and not the sensor itself....

Holy shit. Did you pay $15,744.84 to get all of this done?!

[webster]

Not yet...final bill will be closer to $10k once he does some updates and discounts. But still it's a lot.

[webster]

Clean and pretty engine bay. Practically everything besides the head and cylinders is new. I still need to install the Dinan intake too.

It's mind blowing how some simple repairs are so expensive when done by a shop.

I do hope you will be happy with the car at the end.
