thats absolutely insane to me, mind blowing really. i feel bad for your buddy. the ONLY reason i went to them was because my indy wasn't available and i needed both done before a trip to emerald isle. i would have gone to BMW for both but they wanted astronomical amounts. i know they would have done it right but still, their prices for both are still overly steep.

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

Well: the clown is going to have to rob a few banks to pay for the rack. TD wouldn't claim any wrongdoing which I mostly expected. Manager stated that it would be "nearly impossible" for them to damage the rack, which I believe. He further added that they would have to be wrenching excessively on it in order to cause the problem to which I replied, "exactly, it is possible". His response: "Not in my shop". He proceeded to tell me that my Indy and I don't know simple mechanics 101. I explained I wasn't trying to screw TD out of money and if I honestly thought it wasn't their fault I would have already had it fixed BUT that it's way too much of a coincidence that it started going bad after they had their hands on it. I began to get frustrated at that point and asked for my keys and left.
Should be ordering a rackdoctor rack next week and have it replaced the week of the 21st. So much for having the front end repainted before putting the car in storage. That'll have to wait until spring. Bummed.
Disappointed but not surprised. Guess I'll be paying BMW to do my alignments from now on, at least I'll feel more comfortable leaving my car there.

Meh, is what it is. I think I just made myself a little more upset by even bothering taking it there.
I can't even say with 100% certainty that they are at fault, but it's too coincidental. Was worth whatever micro chance of a shot to speak with them about it.
Oh well.

Looking to get the windshield replaced here shortly as well. Forgot to mention that while my Indy was doing a shakedown of the car, a truck kicked a rock up and put a dime sized chip at eye level on the driver side. When I bought the car it had a small chip same side but closer to the cowl so I figure "why not" and replace it. Insurance company will do an aftermarket windshield for free but I requested an OE windshield which they said I would have to pay the difference. I remember a while back guys talking about windshields.
Thoughts/insight? How much should the OE windshield be, I'm waiting for them to call me back with that quote.

Curious, why? I'm in the same boat so I want to make sure I make the right call.
