took the lincoln in for a safty today and I'm not impressed.
i took it to a ford dealership here in london. because we deal with them every day through work and i work with guys that used to work there and normaly they treat me good.
but today they charged me 101.20 for a safty check which is almost dubble what i payed for one last year.
and they failed it. below is the list that they gave me plus my thoughts on each one. ( i used to help do saftey checks when i worked at a canadian tire so i know whats required and what isn't)
1. High mount brake bulb {my bad after all i did to the car i didn't check the lights }
2. l/s reverse bulb and lens {didn't know the lens what craked but it could be}
3. multi-function switch {~~~?}
4. wipers {rubber riped on one}
5. wiper moter and linkage { as i mentioned in another post, they work but they dont gow down all theway but they work}
6. drivers side power window switch {window and switch work but the cap falls off the switch
7. turn signal flasher { it works but flashes slowly}
8.battey hold down {my bad forgot to do it back up}
9.drivers outer handel { handel works but sticks up a bit, not a saftie issue}
10. lug nuts {all there and tourqued, but not all the same. but all the right size}
11. right rear seat belt buckle {worked for me}
12.drivers door hindge. {nothing wrong with them that i saw}
13. incorrect tire sizes {the back tires ar not the right size. but that only matter side to side not front to back
14. front brake flex hoses {they looked okay to me}
15. steel fuel and brake lines {again ~~~? i fixed the ones that were leaking}
16. rear floor pan at roicker lips holes/rotten {i iddn't see any therre but i could have missed them
17. replace all engine oil seals and gaskets, tranes cooler lines, oil pan gasket, torque converter seal and pump. {no of this to my knowledge has anything to do with a saftie.
i think that most of this stuff is bull crap any oppinions suggestions would be great
thanks
