Well, against my better judgement, 6 months ago I had my front struts replaced by a mechanic who is friends with my father (Claimed he would do it for cheap and the day i needed it, turns out he charged as much as the dealership wanted!)

For the past month my car has been pitching and rolling like crazy, couldnt even drive smoothly on fresh paved road. So I got it into lexus and they changed the strut mounts. They told me that they wore out because the mechanic installed the struts improperly!! So, thanks to bad workmanship, I was out $450 in parts and labor to have new strut mounts put in the front.

Moral of the story: Dont cheap out with your lexus :( Ended up costing me twice as much, and a huge pain in the !Removed!!

i would go talk to your father and see if he has any influence on his friend to reimburse you the $450 that he caused.

DEFINITELY don't cheap out on major repairs like transmissions...you'll probably end up selling your car out of expense and frustration.
