    I got hosed fro a shop last year. The dam truck wouldn't hold prime after I got it back. But they were just pure bs ewhen I was there with them, no way in hell I was going to give them more of money after that. An oring in the fuel filter broke......

    Good luck. Not saying 4 or 5 year trade cycles are wrong. Its just i don't like being tied to a payment. Each to their own. Warranties are usually prorated. Engine and truck manufacturers are not your friend.

    I’m under no illusion they’re my friends. If I don’t drink whisky with them, they’re not my friends. Same as my dispatcher! Lol.

    I agree that the shop should own a mistake like that. Test drive vs no test drive just sounds like a cop-out for not having to pay a bill.

    I liken that to the people who blame a mechanic for the A/C not working when all the mechanic did was rotate tires 2 weeks prior.

    My only thing with this is. He got charged for the test drive in their hourly rate.

    Fair point. That might be worth a half hour's labor. But I'd start at an hour and make them haggle me down.
