When I bought the car in Toronto it was sight unseen because I am not from there. I trusted Phoenix that it was a solid car. It needed some work for a safety $651. At the time a 4 year old car required lower control arms, tie rod ends, front and rear pads and all rotors shaved. Well that car needed everything suspension/steering changed again and I shaved, and later just replaced rotors. I believe the Pro Touch Auto Centre did not do what they said they did!!!

P.S Mercedes, lug bolts WTF??? Just have Lug nuts like everyone else so I can hang the tire on the screws like every other manufacturer, instead of balancing a damn tire while trying to line up holes and thread the bolt through. Takes 2x as long and NO benefit.
