I agree. As a tech myself, I understand that it is my responsibility to make sure a car is road-worthy before returning it to the customer. So, don't blame the shop, blame the tech. You should have no problems getting work done there, just make sure to tell them not to let that tech work on your car again. It is also highly likely that the tech was fired after the incident, I know I would be if I made such a massive mistake such as this. Drain plugs and lugnuts are the most important things to double check before finishing the work, any good tech worth his weight should know this. At least the manager was stand-up about the situation and took care of you.for crappy techs

He already said that the dealership will only install OEM parts, so the JDM bumper is out of the question.
