My mod for today

So I made a appointment yesterday to get my muffler cut out and a piece of pipe welded back in.

So my appointment was for 3 pm today , I phoned at noon and they said come at 2:30 , so i showed up at 2:20 and they took my info and left me standing there.
So around 3:10 I wonder into the shop and stand around until the mechanic measures my muffler and orders a pipe from another shop.

So I go sit in the truck for 15 minutes and the mechanic comes out and tells me to move my truck he needs to get a car in that bay to do a "Quick" wheel algniment , Ive never seen one of those very quick.
So i ask him if maybe I should rebook my appointment for another day when he has more time ? (sarcasm) And he says yup thats what I should do.

So I just drive away , they just wasted 2 hours of my time for nothing , plus I had a guy that works for me with me and i had to pay him 2 hours to sit around.

I get home and theres a message from the shop service manager apoligizing about it and wanting to make it up.
I said I would come back at 10 Am tommorow morning so we shall see if things have improved.
At least they should have the pipe by them.

So that was my mod for today, it was more of a mad than a mod............

Wow! I would lost my mind! I hate BS like that. I would assume a shop that did that would just charge for the pipe and weld it for free.

I need to take a pic of a delete pipe my buddy got of a guy.

It was a 1/2 inch larger than the stock pipe (3inch??) so he stick welded it and just layered the weld to fill the gap! It looks like hell haha.. I'll get it up this weekend
