so yesterday I take my truck to a local shop to have some tweeters installed. they are supposed to flush mount them above the seatbelts in the b pillars. They say no problem we will need a little extra time to flush mount them and run more wire. I drop my truck off at noon. I call the shop at around 430 and they say about 20-30 minutes. knowing it will take longer than theri estimate(it always does), i give them an hour before I show up. I get there and one guy says, " did your deck work when you brought it in". I said yeah look at the paperwork I signed, it says everything was functionin properly. So he says oh sh*t, we cant get your deck to power up.
. So i figured they just didnt know how to power it up. I try to get it to turn on. No dice. So i tell him to test the harness going into the deck to see if power and ground are good. Everything is good on that.(by the way the truck starts and the amp is on). I go check it out again. I see exactly what the problem is. There is a fuse on the harness. I look at it. It is blown. I dont say antyhing because I figure they should be able to troubleshoot that. ! hour goes by, they are freaking out and making phone calls frantically. Very entertaining I must say. lol. After an hour a manager shows up and says "go inside and pick out a deck that is $500 or less(which is close to equal value of my deck, except i payed $100 for mine from a friend, lol). So I pick out a pioneer premier with mp3,xm radio ready and all the goodies(mine didnt have mp3 and xm radio). They install the deck and send me on my way. I now have a new $450 deck and a deck that just needs a fuse for the harness. What a bunch of idiots. It worked out well for me in the end though. I have never had a problem with this hop and may go back to them in the future and have the same guy do the install and see what kind of goodies I can get. suckers!!!!

You should be ashamed of yourself.
