Pay them take the car home and now the ac and heat don't work, I mean the climate control does not even light up, im like wow cant be coincidence that my whole computer controlled ac / heat does not even turn on , take the car back and with out being rude I tell them I don't believe in coincidence, in my opinion you guys broke my whole system
dude comes back and says blower motor is jammed , also bearing has a lot of play so it needs to get replaced , im like you guys didn't see this problem the first time? anyways payed them $300 to replace the blower motor , now im minus $700 , well guess what? I go home and the heat works but ac blows hot air. they tell me "well we told you there was a leak, im pissed im gonna take them to small claims court , what are my chances of losing? I wouldn't bring my bmx bike to this dealer  |
It's not worth the aggravation.
Just tell them to fix it and pay the bill.
Yes, it might be $2400. You have a German car not a beater.
You don't want to get wrapped around the axle on a claim for less than $10,000. It will cost you $30,000 in pain.
Spend the money. And if they screw up, spend more money, At some point, you will hit the magic number where the manager will escalate and call in the Calgary and get it fixed correctly.
This crap will eat you alive. You won't enjoy your car and you'll end up being a miserable jerk.
Call their bluff and tell them to fix it. At some point they will fix it and you will still be happier than if you pursued a claim against the dealer.
Smile. Now forget about the past, send an email to your dealer directing them to fix the AC.
