[quote=Anonymous]A couple weeks ago I had to take in my car for a weird noise I had diagnosed as a cracked wheel bearing. That's exactly what it was. $900 later it was returned to me with a new wheel bearing and an alignment.

NEXT DAY I am driving home and my car is making a FAR worse noise on the right side of the car. Honestly sounded like thenbottom was falling out. I have NEVER had any mechanical issues with this vehicle so this seems really too coincidental to not be correlated. Take it in and they say oh yeah, now your back right bearing is damaged, possibly from the alignment we did but we can't be sure, it could've also been damaged already. So we have to fix that bearing but we won't charge you for another alignment. $1600 in two days.

Bottom line: your car will typically leave a mechanic with additional issues. This scenario doesn't surprise me in the least. I *swear* they f*ck with stuff while they're in there that causes additional problems you have to come back to address. I hate mechanics. [/quote]
