Well I took my teg to a local 76 shop to have them fix the steering fluid leak, but now it won't start for shit, not even attempting to turn on or anything, any ideas of what to check?

grounds, find out whether its a fuel or spark problem, check spark plugs, wires, fuel pump, main fuel relay, timing, ignition timing, dizzy, test starter. more info appreciated to help diagnose ur problem. and if it dont start after the shop got done with it, then take it back and tell them to fix it! lol

Yup it turned on before I took it to the shop and little bit after but when I got home and tried to start it again, doesn't crank over or anything

I would take it back lol but I don't think they had alot to do with it messing up cause it did work after I got it back home for a bit all the electronics work but it just doesn't crank over

ok bro, ill let you know what some shitty shops do. the fix what you ask them to, and fuck something else up so you have to take it back for them to fix it and if it ran fine before hand and you take it in get it home and it wont start, they fucked you. and they did it on purpose. call em up, tell them whats going on, and if they say bring it in and we will fix it but they want to charge you, tell them you will be contacting your lawyer because it ran fine when you took it in and now it dont, and bet they get to work on it for free and fix what they fucked up, i quit a shop and reported them to the police and bbb when i found out they were doing that shit, that shop is now a gas station
