So my mechanic screwed me and cost me a whole day of detailing work..... dropped the Nali off right when he opened yesterday morning, and he’s like yeah I’ll start it now.... no word from him all day, at 5:30 he sends a text saying “obviously we are behind on getting your Denali ready to go and I’ll have to keep it til tomorrow....” I’m like now I can’t detail tomorrow... thanks a lot ******.... no I didn’t really say that to him.... but I wanted to SO BADLY!! he does this EVERY TIME I need something done that I can’t do myself or don’t have enough time for. And yet he expects me to be there every week to wash cars for him. Thoughts in my head are he’s totally taking advantage of me.... it’s time to cut the cord..... but I’m so bad at putting my foot down... so there’s that....

rock auto didn’t send me the right brake line kit to replace with steel braided lines. So that didn’t get done and now I have to pay to ship these stupid lines back to rockauto because they’re not covering it. They’re response was “it looks like you ordered the correct part, and it looks like we sent the parts that you ordered. We’re sorry that they still don’t fit your vehicle. You can send them back to us at your expense and we will refund you.....” I’m not a happy customer with them right now.... every order in the last two months from them has had wrong parts included. Like seriously how hard is it to get the right parts sent to the customer?!?!

anyways I didn’t get before shots taken because my life is an absolute circus right now with my crazy insane work schedule, and the shit show that is the ski resort right now, of which I’ve almost quit everyday.....
here’s a quick teaser, I’ll have to pull the wheel off to get fully installed shots of calipers and rotors. But they look good and braking is good so far. I imagine once I get the correct steel braided lines in there braking will improve even more, but unfortunately I’ll have to wait to get those done til after I get back from Utah.... sorry the rant lol.
