When I was 19, I paid a very hard-earned $250 to get a valve adjustment.
I was afraid of moving mechanical things.
Bike died across town the next day.
I pushed the 600# beast back to my apt, up and down hills.
Opened a valve cover port and there was a freaking nut sitting in the spring.
Called the shop.
They said they'd tow it for $50, then decide if they wanted to charge me more. Plain rude.
Dad stepped up, talked to the manager, and got some of the money back.
Bonding incident which lasted a lifetime.
Teach them how it's done.
Take pics. Explain rationale, proper steps, and why it should be done that way.
Go from there.
Once I was a ACE certified Master Mechanic (which doesn't mean squat) and could provide a professional opinion for legal matters.
