Got Screwed

[Carlos Reyes]

So from their original quote of $2065 to install and dyno I now am left with a little over $2900 bill. I argue with them at the store about WTF they added to the bill and how I approved a gasket and a fuel filter and somehow that equals $800 dollar increase. They just bumped their hours charging $85 dollar to remove a Superchip from the ECU and so on and so on.



So they hold my car ransom saying they will not release unless I pay the full ammount. Now im nervous that if I leave it there they will mess it up just to piss me off more.



I check the Washington state law on adding hours to bills and it states that anything over a $100 increase in a quote has to be put in writing and I have to sign. Should I go forward with a complaint or do you think this is just the kind of junk that people just brush off their desks?

[shawn stonbraker 2]

What the hell did you have to have done? That's a hell of a repair bill.:blink:



Anyway, like DaveS said, what's your time worth?

 

[EddieS'04]

What is in the contract. Fine print. Also look into the BBB, to see if they have simular complaints.

$800 for screwing up your truck!! That would make it worth a lot my time to contest the bill.

 

[Keola P]

Judge Judy would help you out!!!

In CT, a complaint to the motor vehicle dept. will straighten them out. Check with yours.

I'd really like to know what the Trac was in for, thats a big bill... 85 bux to "remove a superchip" :blink: All you do is grab it and pull... WTF



I say ya fight this one..

 

[scott degroot]

What was the truck in for originally? Sounds like there is a bit more to the story.

 

[EddieS'04]

What is the whole story. What were they doing to the trac originaly??

 

[Dan Long]

I think he was having either a turbo or supercharger installed.

Custom work folks. CLos, though I don't agree with it, keep in mind it was custom work. Are they willing to write up the details of the additional expense or are they just blaming the gasket and filter?
