Well, as far as the story; Yes, we denied warranty of the cluch (was slipping very bad). A/C was also inop. We found that all 4 tires were worn to the wear indicators (they were rotated once). The vehicle had 12,892 miles on it at that time. That is pretty quick to wear out 4 tires. Upon further inspection it was found the vehicle was in an accident, hence the reason the A/C was inop, (condensor was damaged). Also, body panels were replaced and repaired to a sub professional level, these signs indicated abuse in our eyes. We spoke to them about our findings and were informed that the vehicle was in an accident and that they had reciently purchased the car from someone or from some Used Car dealer. We advised them to seek repairs from the selling party.
We had felt bad for the fact that they had purchased a car that was neglected and abused, along with being damaged. We came to the desision to not charge for "Check-Out", in which we resieved no payment from anyone. (Our Techs work on a flat rate basis, so time is money).
Some investigation was done and found the vehicle was issued a "Salvaged Title" by the Federal Goverment and a "Warranty Block" was issued by GM at an earlier date. For what reasons, unknown.
So, Maguire is an "Awful" place to do buisness, because of this?

Yeah, that's abuse. I agree with you there. I have the mods in my sig and my clutch slips on the 1-2. I've seen too many cars on this forum with a slipping clutch to think it was my mods, not to mention they are all GM Spec unless you count a TB and plugs as a major mod. Anyhow I think the stock clutch should handle what my car is turning out. The deal I was given when I took my car in was we'll take your car apart, but if we don't like your clutch we're gonna charge you 100% over book time to put on a new stock clutch and under no circumstance will we put on a different one. Does that sound reasonable to you? Especially after the mechanic that looked at my car looked me in the face and said "those clutches really aren't good enough for those cars". I understand you're one of the more patient guys out there so I'll get a second opinion on my opinion.
