Don't get your car worked on at...

Marty's.

Yes, it is just a small privately owned auto shop in Crescent City. So whoever reads this may not ever have the opportunity to refuse service here, but I am on a mission!
Spencer took our car here for an oil change last Friday. And this is what happened...

#1. They didn't reset the maintenance required light in the car, so after Spencer left (and it was closing time) Spencer pulls over to a gas station and checks the oil. HALF EMPTY! And they had even charged him extra, because apparently our Lexus requires more oil than other cars?? (yeah right)

#2. They left the bottom panel open.

#3. They did not replace some important pins required to make sure everything stays in place.

So, Spencer takes the car back early Monday morning and asks for a refund. The owner, Marty, comes out and literally gets in Spencer's face telling him "We don't do refunds, here, you can wait in line like everyone else!" Spencer takes off his sunglasses and says, "Excuse me?" And the guy grabs his cell phone and calls the police. The police show up and another employee of Marty ran inside and whispered something in Marty's ear. The police come in and ask what was going on, and Marty tells this HUGE lie about how Spencer had threatened him and was causing a huge disturbance, and this random employee (WHO HADN'T BEEN IN THE BUILDING AT THE TIME OF THE ALLEGED THREATENING) starts saying, "yeah, yeah, that's what happened". Luckily, Spencer had brought his friend Rob with him, so he had is own witness to back him up.
So we think this schmuck employee saw the cops pull up and ran inside to tell Marty what to say to them.

CRIMINALS!!

Alas, nothing happened to Spencer...the cops just seemed used to this from this guy, and left.
Marty did agree to fix everything on the car, and Spencer watched him do it, to make sure he didn't cut his brakeline.

So, I thought I could get him back in my own way. Blogging slander.
