Time to throw in the towel ?

What did you pay them to do/what does the receipt say they did?

I'd demand my money back and not give them another chance to screw you over.

Sorry.

What did you tell them to do?

I never go to shops for this reason , take pics and demand your $ back

What was supposed to be the beginning of bringing back my e30 from near dead, has me disheartened to say the least.

I picked up the car on friday from the shop after a head/timing chain job. I drove it home and parked it while i dealt with a few projects.
Today I went to take a look at it and found all the spare parts i had given them to use still in their packaging sitting under the rear seats. The 3 clusters i had in the car completely disassembled with all the screws nowhere to be found.

I decided to check the valve cover bolts, they were all the original stripped bolts, most held in place with silicone and some of them not even not even belonging to the car.

This was supposed to be a trusted shop, but this is really off putting.
They say if you want something done right, you should do it yourself. If i had the time and a place to do it I would.
I was really looking forward to driving it a little this week, but tomorrow it goes back to the shop so they can do it right a second time around on their dime but I can´t but feel that it may be time to let her go....single tear.
