You have been a fuck Ton nicer than I would have been.

But, i also don't know what you approved and signed for. 🤷‍♂️

The good news is, when those struts go bad in a year or so, you'll have saved up enough money for a Real strut/spring kit!

This car will be 10 years old next year and maybe will be time to upgrade then or another year.
This is just general maintenance, thinking this thing might be gone in a year or 2 so that's the reason for going low end on the struts. LMAO

Copy that. 👍🏼
 
Sooooooooo...it continued!
I called Cooks tire right be cause this thing needed a front end alignment.
I also had them check the brakes.
Front end was all out of whack..they aligned it and said the brakes might have an air bubble in them and they will purge.
Also front rotors were warped and they could mill them but they would be at the absolute minimum spec, so I said just replace and put pads on all the way around.
I pick up the car it looks normal and feels great.
Pedro calls and says he's sending me a video.....the front right strut was completely loose1
WHAT IN THE ACTUAL EFFFFFFFFFFF???
I sent the owner of the shop that did this work and told him this is how my car left!
Didn't hear back!
What a total cluster eff...I should have had Cooks done everything from the get go!

A big lesson learned here.
Decided to clean it all up. Not bad for 127K miles on it.20241223_130647.jpg20241224_072208.jpg

Man that blows. ☹️

I'm curious though. Who's been doing the service work on this car all these years? 🤷‍♂️

The Dealer for all maintenance. Simpson Chevrolet Garden Grove and Simpson Irvine, lately Hardin GMC where I bought my new truck. They are only a mile from me and super convenient.
Cooks tires has done the tires, but pretty much all service is done with the dealer!

This was a big live and learn lesson!
Looking back, I should have had Cooks tire do the struts.

It really boggles my mind how this whole ordeal went.
We're going to be looking at getting her a new car in a year or 2, I wish they still made the Camaro, I'd buy her another in a heartbeat.
The only thing she doesn't like about it is the doors are huge.
I have been looking at the Audi A5-2 door...similar to her camaro but the doors aren't 40' long!
LOL

I know it's a 4 door, but the 2025 Caddy CT5 is a sexy beast...

Doesn't matter if you have kids or not four door cars are adult cars, Two door cars are fun machines for the inner kid.
