i dont have a specific vehicle make i wont work on... but one time years ago i had a local dealer sell an asian customer rear speakers for their vehicle and sent it to me for install.... i popped the trunk and there was about 3 inches of rice (i think they owned a restaurant) in the trunk..... and about another 2 inches of mold growing on top of it.... that was a definite refusal!! and the dealer actually had the gall to call me back and bitch that they lost the sale.....

I recall VERY vividly, back in 1989 when I worked as a cellular phone installer in Virginia Beach, seeing a car come in for an install that had an infestation of c**kroaches.  I'm not overexaggerating a sighting of one or two bugs either.  I'm talking about an absolute unadulterated full blown grade AAA infestation of c**kaRoaches.  I lifted up that back seat and I nearly soiled myself.  All I saw was a kaleidescope of them in all shapes and sizes.  I would have walked off the job if they had made me work on it.  We had another guy in the shop who did the work.... although he went to jail a couple of months later for stabbing some guy in the leg causing him to bleed to death.  I think about him from time to time.  Cars you won’t do - Page 3 -- posted image.

I won't work on a Mazda Millenia for anything. i replaced the front speakers on a 2001 model and ended up having two damage claims that day. the f*cking doors are made out of some god damn foam so when you pull on them you have to be super care full not to crack them. oh yeah and plus they have some stupid medal clip in the middle of the door that you can't avoid breaking to get the door off.

Mazda 929's, BMW's, and Corvette's are all a pain.  If I can avoid it, I will.  But if the customer has enough money, I will do anything.

I hate that Hyundai Elantras only have 3 power locks and that the drivers door is a cable system. It is damn near impossibe to attach an aftermarket actuator. Or the BMW 7 series. The 97 to be exact. Power locks only respond if the car is off. If you put remote start on it, they unlock when the car starts and don't respond untill you shut it off. Can't please the customer on that one.
