I think what he meant was getting really steamed doesn't resolve the situation, and it can be harmful to one's well being. Even a major rip off isn't worth high blood pressure, a heart attack, or a stroke.

I think he meant well, and was concerned about the negative effect of OP's anxiety level on himself.
 
That's why my shop always give me a estimate and I signed the paper to authorize the job with the price I'm willing to pay. You get to keep the invoice with estimate they give you. They can't have more than 10% over the estimate that they would charge you. If there is extra repair needed, they must contact you for authorization to do the job. NEVER sign a blank invoice for the shop.

Definitely avoid Midas shop... they are total dishonest business. I had a family member took their car to the shop for some brakes work. They ended up charging him much more for the other jobs that was not necessary. I had another shop that had Midas do the alignment for them after doing the rack and pinion job...Midas didn't do good job.

Back to the topic... perhaps you could check with BBB for the shop reputation. I normally check BBB or if there is AAA approved car repair shop. There is some honest shops, some not. A simple research would save money and headaches. :)

Yes, each person copes with anxiety and pressure in a unique way. Some people are more sensitive to anxieties and pressures. Some people are very calm and don't let anxiety bother them. Some people need help coping with stress.

I doubt there's AAA-approved wheel repair shops which are specialists. What's more, auto collision centers don't repair wheels so they send them to a wheel repair shop they trust.

OFC, the law requires all car repair shops to give estimates to customers. I always ask for a warranty before I let them fix my car.
 
Well, do you all want an update? lol

Weeellllll, I took the van for repairs on the rear wheel since it was cocked in. Turns out the axle is bent. So they have to replace the suspension knuckle and wheel bearing. The 2 rims wont pass inspection because the repairs wont pass ( the shop didn't weld the cracks as stated before) so they are ordering 2 used wheels. The tailpipe was broke off so that is getting welded back on and some other small stuff including need of 2 new tires.... all in all its going to run her with inspections $1500. so we can get it on the road again....wow, just wow.
Good news is, wife is going to let me have the infiniti which we both hate so I can sell it and get me a truck. It will be a good week before we get it back.
 
OMG you could had dreadful accident bent axle...these people put lives at risk,you lucky know about cars but what about someone who dont..this place need reporting

The van never went to this wheel repair shop, I took the wheels in the car.
The repair shop we have the van at is a few blocks from us and they are very good ( Family owned business) they called me several times already with updates on progress.
Van really wasn't all that bad, just work I cant do for sheer strength needed to torque bolts and nuts which hurt my neck and back so Im letting the shop deal with it. I did replace the fender/headlight and fix other small stuff, including replacing the fuel tank that I barely was able to do...it did make me sore but I took it easy. hey, it runs and drives now....lol

It's also not healthy to hold your anger in , that can cause health issues too. If someone that much health issues they would not the energy to get angry .

There are healthy ways to deal with anger that don't include blowing up. That's not the same as holding it in.

Plenty of people with health issues and low energy can get angry. They just waste the little energy that they do have on blowing up rather than doing something constructive.

IMO

Getting up set does not made me sick and I have found out trying to do something constructive when dealing with certain people is a waste of time.
That got me no when got a car that was a lemon from a car dealer. The car needed $600 worth of work on it and they where not going to do or give money to fix the car. After trying to ' be constructive' about for 2 days I got upset and demanded the $600 , my worked better than your as I got a check for $600.

Ok, I understand. However, anyone can speak his/her mind. If you don't like to hear what one says, ignore him/her. Simple! Negative or positive, it doesn't matter due to freedom of speech. Suppose someone talks negatively about Walmart, do you complain? What I mean is that if it turns you off, read another thread. No need to scold a poster.
