I wasn't impressed either the way they dropped the expensive carbon fiber panels on their shop floor. One mis-step, dropped tool and well.......

What was obvious was these guys just dove in head first with no prep. or research - even if they read the procedure prior, even if it's just the workshop manual version - no guessing what fasteners or drain plugs to remove. I wonder what the "mystery fluid" was they drained by mistake???

I also laughed when the tech was trying to knock out the hydraulic lift fasteners with his Harbor freight mini socket screwdriver.

Their prep work was nil - they didn't even have a clue what the oil capacity was - before or after - only how much they managed to get out (they used video editing cause they went back and drained again.)

The shop owner made a joke at the end about leftover fasteners, I'll bet they actually encounter that often given their approach. Not sure what they charged the client, but it was too much.

Forget the cost savings. This is why we work on our cars ourselves.
