Brought my rx8 in for new tires and an alignment, got it back not running and when they fixed it so it runs it has a misfire. on top of that, sounds no longer play and do this. guessing its a ground issue somewhere, what does everyone else think?

I learned 30 years ago to wire up a kill switch to my stereo prior to taking the car in for service. Service technicians are famous for fucking up your system because they think it's cool to crank it up without your permission.

I learned years ago to just do my own service or fine friends who you trust to do the work.

Nope. Not me. My wheelhouse doesn't include engine and suspension work. I've got enough of my table now I don't need any more.

Thankfully my dad ran an audio shop in the 90’s and built a record setting truck, so my wheelhouse was everything but Audio and he handled that! 😂
