Default Poor Repairs

Remember the thread a few days ago about being livid with a local garage who had replaced bother outer cv boots for me.
It started with odd noises from passengers side front which turned out to be a wobbly wheel. When we removed the wheel and fixed hub we found the two wheel bearing lock rings in the wrong order with one of the screws missing and the other one had its head worn away. Lots of metal debris and the stub axle thread either cross threaded or simply worn away by the loose lock ring. I wasn't too impressed and decided although I'd reported it to the garage I was going to fix myself.
Well today I removed the drivers side wheel and got a bit of a shock. They had snapped bolts on the upper ball joint but instead of replacing like the other side they left two snapped bolts and two mismatched bolts. Took the hub off and sure enough a screw missing and rings in the wrong order. Take a look at the following photos. The up shot is that the garage is collecting tomorrow with a flat bed and repairing the damage for me. I suppose is a result if done correctly but I'm not impressed it's happened but it could of been so much worse.
