That's exactly the problem most guys on here that do thier own work realize with the post.

 

Yeah, thats what I mean. Put there poor business practices,and everyones poor experiences aside. I will not even think about that. The thing I see in this post is that either way a guy got charged $1600 for something I could have/ have done in my dirt driveway. He got the car after that and it still leaked. I will even put aside the fact that he had engine issues on the way home. He paid a rediculous amount for something, because they are a "specialty shop"...they can charge anything, sounds like he wanted it fixed right and that he paid the bill for it. For $1600 my fathers garage would have done pretty much everything listed, and it would not have leaked..it would have been tested, checked and everything fixed before he was called to pick it up. I have seen alot of shops do stuff like this, and not one of them was willing to admit it was there mistake..it would take a court ruling to make them pay, and they still feel its unfair. I mean maybe my idea and my fathers idea of a shop is different then their's, we would rather make a few less bucks then let something go out the door unfixed, we would rather have a return customer, than tell someone that if you don't wanna come back to our shop its no sweat off my brow. I know who feeds us, its the customers that do. So I will continue fighting shops that have poor business practices, continue fixing there work, and continue stating loud and proud that I am better than them and they should be "out of Business".

 

Nothing would every get done if you try to settle in private e-mail.
problems should be brought out in the open,that way if your so sure your right then you mind a jury to back you.

 

but in private i think he meant going to the shop, flamedz is a local hear in nc.

 

Im still curious why they were puttin coolant in it and priming it to be deliverd to the customer if there was still an oil leak?

 

because they dropped the whole engine/cradle out of the car.

 

But why get it ready to go when its appartnetly not (still has a leak)

 

????????? i dunno that. from what i hear he was not told to pick it up and was not told to take it home for the weekend, he signed off on it cause he didnt want to wait. roy told him they would fix it but he cant back it up IF he took it with him before it was fixed. but that is just what i heard

 

Closed at the request of Flamed Z.

When this issue is resolved, send me an email and I will open this to post a follow-up.
