hahahahaha I wish mine was a month
Ya'll know how long my shop takes sometimes because of how backed up things are
To the OP, going FI huh? Prepare for a loooooong journey of ups and downs, misery and fustrations
However with fun and adrenaline rushing times but still, you balance it out and tell us what you think later on the road
As to the shop, its normal but not normal to take that long, you just got to know how the shop works yourself before dropping it off, and making sure they're not lying to you when they give you an excuse of why they're taking so long. Some shops take longer than the other, trust me I know
As for what you could do, don't complain, like Homie said, the worst that can happen is you get it back and it's not working right. Lets get a reality check here, if you tell them to put it back to normal, they're not going to want to do it nor like to do it, you threat them, sue them, do all these like what others tell you to do, I guarantee you your car won't be put back to normal 100% and you'll be looking at future headaches even with or without the FI

Just relax and wait it out, let it come out first, then seriously take it to another shop and have it checked out, unless its running perfect and you run don't run into any issues than its all good!
