yeah merchant's borders on criminals. my old roomate took his cavalier wagon there because of a "thump" when turning one direction. they sold him a used steering rack, then when he came back again they tried to sell him a transmission.
finally he had me look at it out of desperation in between classes. i slide under the car, look around for 3 minutes and boom: the sway bar linkage had come off the lower arm and was hitting the driveshaft. total cost to actually fix it: one nut, $2.00.
thankfully i wasn't there to see him go off on the manager at merchants. no way could a mechanic miss something that easy. bunch of sneaky chumps.
