In Soviet Russia, the KGB questions you.
Okay....I found out what the mistery-ghost-car-in-barn is....and its a good one! Up close and clearing away junk from the front end it turns out to be a 71-75 Caddy deville 4 door, doesnt even seem to be in that bad of a nick.....who the hell just leaves that laying around?
It might be a 75 with the optional Bendix fuel injection system, which was failtastic and has no replacement parts available.
They're called stealerships for a reason.
Also, is she certain that she actually got a timing belt change? Or might they have just charged her for it and just claimed they did it instead of doing the work?
Considering doing it requires dismantling literally the entire engine and a cheaterbar longer than the car, and she dropped it off at close last night and picked it up at 8AM, I'm going to go out on a limb and say they changed the oil.
Period. Unless they have some illegal Mexicans work through the night (which is a distinct possibility).
Yeah. Moral of story: Always require a shop to show you the removed/replaced parts and tell them of this when you drop the car off. No evidence, no pay.

Sounds like someone stole the Catalytic Converter off of it.Yay! My car sounds like I have a fart can now! Fucking exhaust must have rusted through while I was sitting in the parking lot, because it was fine when I parked it and OBNOXIOUSLY NOISY when I left.
