Done but not finish

sent my car the other day to the mechanic. gave him a bit of an advance notice, like about a week. I then called him again the day before. There were so much communication as it was to be a major work. i'm having all 4 springs and suspensions of my car changed. made all the necessary arrangements and car was sent.

all was well till he called to hand the car back to me. "your car is ready for collection, but you'll have to send it to the tyre shop to have them aligned". i was cought by surprise and requested that he sent it over for me. "i can't,....bla, bla, it's late, bla,bla...." i can't really remember what the excuse was. no big, i thought if he would drive the car, it must not be bad.

boy was i wrong, when i drove the car home it felt like i shouldn't have changed anything. to have spent a big sum of money and now have to wait further to see if the car is now driving properly is really frustrating.

how can a mechanic do the repair and not complete it. sure the work was done but the job was not complete. i had to take it to tyre shop to complete it.

so instead of having me feel like my money was well spent with the mechanic, i now feel that i should not go back to him again as he leaves things hanging.
