We have a local chain called VIP auto/O'Reilly that sells parts and performs auto repair.
My mother in law left my home yesterday and on her way had a glaring battery light on dash. She goes into VIP auto with repair shop at 4pm who states you should get that fixed soon but can keep driving........
Well she ends up on a 65 MPH 4 lane highway with lights flickering all over dash and finally car slowed to only 30MPH so she travels the breakdown lane but keeps driving towards a repair shop. She calls me and I say you are going to stall any moment and pull over safely.
She gets towed and ends up at their own shop. Early this AM I go to mailbox and find the culprit a belt likely alternator broken in my driveway. The shop was honest and did just repair that.
My wife is irate they sent her mum driving away and this is our second experience with those idiots(VIP auto chain) who forgot to tighten all wheels lug nuts on wife's SUV last year purchasing tires.
