I would be towing that straight back to the mechanic that did the work and show him what his poor work has caused and let him know you will be sending him a bill for the cost of repairs and rental car and then take it somewhere that knows how to tighten a bolt!!!!

Check the PnP there's probably 15-20 intrepids in every yard around me! I paid $36 for my fan cause they charged me for two fans since its a dual fan but I didn't mind.

Not sure about caddy fans the other popular swap is the ford Taurus fan. I prefer the Intrepid fan though cause it draws less amps and is a dual fan setup instead of just a single. Including the controller and other small bits I have less than $70 into it total. Check out my build thread I have more pics there.

They said they didnt mess with the brakes at all. Only upper control arms n tie rods. So they not owning up to their mistake.

Yeah like rich said I'm not sure how they would change the control arms with removing the calipers??? I suppose anything is possible but highly unlikely!
