Suing my mechanic

dog_boner 3/3/2022 2:00:54 PM
Dude has had my truck since October, and took $1500 for a deposit on a new transmission he said I needed. The new one doesn't work worth a f*ck, and after months of lying and excuses, dude gave up trying to fix it even though the trans has a goddamn warranty. Says if he takes it back to the trans shop he *thinks* he will get ripped off. Now he won't give me back any of my money or give me any paperwork regarding my repair. I'm gonna crucify this motherf*cker.

I figured this would be an update and not you repeating what you said in the other thread about the same thing

Just lease. You get a new car every 3 years. It's worth it so you don't have to deal with shit like this

I've got an attorney, and the ball is rolling on everything. I just wanted him to make it right before I went scorched earth on his ass and start spending more money. All he had to do was take it back to the rebuild shop for warranty issues, that's it.

Port, I'm def thinking about it now. I drive too much to deal with shit like this

I've found those big corporate places like Firestone or whatever are good for car stuff. They generally do the job right and if they screw up corporate makes them fix it. I'm a capitalist pig.

i like going to the little places

I support the small guy in most circumstances. This is an exception

So, the mechanic that you hired had to take your truck to a transmission shop where HE is getting ripped off... Why would you hire a mechanic that has to hire other mechanics?

I took auto repair as an elective in high school, and I worked at jiffy lube for a summer, but I don't remember how to fix shit . I wish I did
