Bad service

so its all there fault correct

 

I'm sorry your tractor burned up.

 

yea but the turbo made it.

 

Don't know what authorization was or wasn't done. But even $5700 is ridiculously overpriced. But when you brake down on the road? Well they screw you.
This is a vid on what to check if you have turbo issues .

i hate to say this. i really do. but this is just another case of a o/o or l/o. that doesn't have the money to fix this said unit. i see it all the time on here. turbo goes out. okay i'll take it to TTR freightliner repair serives Ccll. 4 hours later in the break room. what you mean its $9,300 to put a floor mat in. then the blame game starts. you have to put back money to pay up keep and repairs

 

But some are saying OP is getting charged too much. I hope to be an o/o one day but i can imagine the tightrope walk trying to get your repairs done without getting the bend over treatment in the process

 

The key to not getting bent over on repairs is staying far away from dealers. The farther you are from home the more likely you are to get the shaft on a repair bill even by the small shops, there comes a point you just have to take it to get moving unfortunately.

 

I'd be mad at paying $10 for an $1 part. The dollar amount is secondary to the price gouging over what a dealer already overcharges. It's the principal .

 

I see things from the other side of the looking glass. All I can say is if you think its easy turning wrenches then by all means go ahead and do it yourself.
