Stupidest thing that a muffler shop can do...
So.. I took my car in to a muffler shop recently to correct one of the hanger that is on the exhaust. got my hanger on, still ratlles, but no problem... or so I thought
I went under the car yesterday to work on something and I found out that the IDIOT welded the new hanger directly on to the FRAME!
If I knew this dumbass was gonna do that, I'd never have let him do it. So according to AAA standards, now I have a vehicle with 'modified frame' which decreases about 25% of the value of the car.
He's going to hear from my lawyer about this...

Just talked to the rep at Bureau of Automotive Repair. The rep recommended me to submit a complaint through them so I just submitted a complaint form.
Hopefully I'll get a response soon

if you would have left your stock exhaust on this would have never happened....where did you want him to mount the hanger to? from the looks of your exhaust there isnt much someone could have done the way the hanger comes off of it. a little black paint on your frane and people wont even know it didnt come like that.

post a link to where it says your car is worth 25% less because you have an exhaust mount welded to your frame
