EYE SPY: At loose ends!
A customer brought a 2004 Sante Fe to Midas Bayfield in Barrie, Ont. recently for a pre-purchase inspection. Manager Jason Hurdle said it didn’t take the technicians long to discover the vehicle wasn’t worth the purchase price. “We explained that it was not safe and thread-chased the tie rod and installed a nut so it was safer for them to drive back to the dealer.”

If it was truly sold from a dealer, then the customer must have chosen it from the “As is portion of the dealer lot.”
I don’t believe in an ‘As Is’ department from any dealer. If it’s not safe, don’t even try to sell it.
The general consumer assumes a registered business is responsible for their products and the courts do also.
I’m really happy the boys at Midas demonstrated their responsibility to their valued customer.
A tip of the hat to them.
This vehicle is one pot hole away from possibly
killing someone whoever installed the cotterpin
and thought it was ok to drive is a criminal
