Has a shop ever damaged your car?

I don't mean to hijack this thread but I need to document this as it happens. I left my car overnight because they said they needed to order new lugs because they didn't have any in house. So i got my car today with a new front pad and rotor and supposedly fixed lugs and studs. I get home and notice that the three stripped lugs have been swapped from the rear to the front. So obviously they were bullshitting and I bring the car back. I talk to the fuck who lied to me on the phone called him out on his blatant lie about ordering new lugs and he refers me to the technician. The technician tries to spew some bullshit about the thread length on the lugs being too short. So i ask him are you saying that the studs in front are shorter than the studs out back and he somehow says no. So i ask him if i pull those lugs off the front wheels am I going to see metal filings? and he arrogantly responds nope I'll put it on the lift now if you want. So of course I have to see this. Sure enough he takes the fucking lugs off and the 3 studs where the bad lugs were, are now covered in metal filings and are significantly shinier than the other 2 studs. So i point that out and he says oh well it's fine i could take these off and put them back on like 3 or 4 more times and it would be fine. So i say i dont want my car to be half assed and have to worry about this shit in the future and tries to tell me its totally fine. So in the end I talked to the manager and I am getting all new studs and lugs on the left side of my car for free because these cocksuckers fucked up the vast majority of them.
Sorry for the rant but fuck it feels good to vent.

And just to wrap up this fuck fest, I just picked my car up and needed a jump because the battery was dead in the parking lot.

I've always been extremely picky about the body shops my car has gone to, and the alignment shop I go to knows me personally, so I go into the garage and watch them work on it. The guys at the alignment shop know to set up special ramps for my car to get on the rack.

Any time I am left no choice but to put the poor car in a shop (accident repair and alignment, essentially), it is made clear that I am watching said shop like a hawk. As a result, I tend to get good service.
