Dealership broke my car

We used to have this problem whenever we had a dealership work on one of our cars. They would fix the problem in question, but somehow a new completely unrelated problem would arise, that needed immediate expensive attention.

Mark every fastener with a paint marker.

Check afterwards if any fastener moved from its paint marking.

There are sketchy places.

I just go elseware.

I did know a place that had an employee that would sell differential flushes; problem, their location didn't have the working equipment to do that. The shop owner noticed that he had sales when the machine was out of order.

I know this story because the owner of multiple shops told it to me while we were chatting at a race track.

As someone that primarily works on my own cars, crap happens, but at least I know what really happened.
