Thomas Auto Guelph -- THE RIPOFF CONTINUES...

Friday morning, called Scott, he says the car is being worked on, and that I should call him back in a couple hours.  Since I need the car today at the latest (starting work on Monday), I decide to get a friend of mine to drop me off at Thomas auto, about 2 1/2 hours later.  Scott tells me the car is being detailed and that I should come back to pick it up at 5pm.  I go home and he calls me at 5pm to tell me, "make it 6pm" because he had other engagements.  Ok, fine.

I go down to pick the car up at 6pm, and wouldn't you know it, the car is actually ready for me.  He asks me for the $93 for the license plate as I hadn't paid him that yet.  I give him two $50 bills.  He tells me he doesn't have change, that I'll have to come back.  Genius.... I wonder how many people he does this to who never return to get their change?  Just when you think there is no other possible way for this guy to hussle any more money from you, he still has some tricks up his sleeve.  *cough*RIPOFFARTIST*cough* ........ so I pay, get the car, and all goes well.... or does it?

After I get the car I notice the all floor mats are missing except for the driver's side. 

Also, the wipers (a safety issue) -- the right one doesn't plant firmly on the windshield -- isn't this a failed safety?  WTF?

Also, the tires (which Mike, his mechanic, said needed replacing so the safety could be done "properly") didn't seem to have much tread -- they were very, very low, in my opinion they wouldn't pass a safety.  Not to mention the low-profile, high performance tires that WERE on the car had more tread than these!   WTF!!! I am about to scream, but it's 7:36am Saturday morning and I don't want to wake up the neighbourhood.

Why should I dish out more money at Canadian Tire for new wiper blades and new tires, when THE FUCKING SAFETY IS SUPPOSED TO COVER THIS?

Scream I will.  I'm gonna do some work and go down to FUCKING RIP OFF ARTISTS KNOWN AS THOMAS AUTO IN GUELPH AND RIP SOME HEADS OFF.
