rulz has a a point. If they're fixing the mistake, as they should, how can there still be any problem?
AAMCO is a freaking joke

Surprised it took a full 5 pages before somebody from AAMCO finally found this 
On topic, it's really helpful to learn some basic car mechanic skills. Being able to do minor maintenance and repairs, as well as getting a good idea of what a problem might be, can save you a lot of money.
I always recommend taking it to a non-chain repair place. You get to deal directly with the manager a lot of times, and the service is miles above what you get at chians, in my experience.
Case-in point, I had a leak in a tire when I was at ISU, so I took it to Car-X to look at it. After 2 hours, they called me to tell me they couldn't find any problems, but they would look at it again. Almost another 2 hours later, they called me to tell me they couldn't find a leak. Of course, my tire was flat again the next morning. I pumped it up and took it home to have the local dealer look at it. Within 10 minutes of dropping it off, he called to tell me there was a nail in it. A freaking nail! How do inspect the tire for 4 hours and not find a nail?
After that, I assumed if Car-X couldn't locate a nail in my tire, they probably weren't someone I wanted working on the engine of my vehicle. Never been to a big national chain since.
PS. Wow did that get long in a hurry.
