Needed some advice

geeze paint us all with same brush, could you please explain what you meant

no the truck is not running, before i brought the truck to the shop the truck would start perfect, I turned off the engine and back on it worked good .ever since the mechanic shop did work on it , the truck doesn't start at all, there saying the injectors are the reason but the thing that doesn't make sense when the truck was with me , it started fine, ever since that mechanic shop worked on my truck they messed up the engine and now there saying injectors need to be replaced. I have the work order , I will let you know what parts were replaced

 

yea i understand, sorry i just got lil emotional
every truck that i have driven that has emissions just sucks i have had a bad experience with emission truck

 

freightliner never dealt with me , they would deal with the mechanic and he would let me know what work needs to be done.
I didn't pay the mechanic anything, and the truck was release to the mechanic and I did not give freightliner no permission.







yea basically the mechanic told me that he can do the job and I don't need to go to the dealer, basically he beat around the bush
the issue with my truck was that i got a check engine light and a stop engine light all suddenly, the truck would not move faster than 5MPH
luckily where I had dropped my trailer at the warehouse, freightliner was near by , I had called them that if they could take a look on my truck but they told me that they were too busy and they were not going to be able to take a look on it, so i searched the web and I find a shop that was close by , brought the truck to the shop told him the issue, he told me no worries we have all the diagnostic software and we can fix the truck , he told me they deal with primarily freightliners, so I trusted him and left the truck to him and came back to Canada. I give him a call few days later to get a update he tells me they figured out the problem that the dosing valve was the issue and they are replacing it now that will solve the problem , later that day I give him a call , he tells me that the def pump is broken needs to be replaced that it will fix the issue, so i told him to do it. After I receive a call and he then tells me that they replaced the def pump but they are still having the same issue the truck does not move faster than 5MPH, he then tells me that they followed the diagnostic chart but they could not figured out the issue and the freightliner needs to take a look at it, and that it just a minor thing that it will done quickly, so the mechanic tows the truck to freightliner , when my truck is brought to freightliner it is brought under his shop name, so in order for freightliner to get authorization they needed permission from him. couple days later i receive a call back from the mechanic he tells me that freightliner has figured out the problem that the metering valve is broken and some clamps are rusted out they need to be replaced, i asked him how much he tells me about $1500 USD plus part and labour, I trust him and gave him the yes.
A day later receive a call , that freightliner replaced the metering valve but it didn't solve the problem and that some engineer from detroit needs to come and take a look at it, the engineer came few days later diagnose the problem and says the SCR box needs to be replaced and the injectors and that it will solve the problem he sends me the quote for $12000 USD so when you convert it to Canadian comes at $15,000 , I told him hell no i'm not spending 12k usd to fix a truck that it worth less than $10,000. Mechanic sends me his balance that I owe and including the balance i owe freightliner which comes at $7400 usd , convert it to canadian its at 10,000. Freightliner wants $4000 for diagnosing and replacing the meter valve and clamps . After he calls asking for his payment i told him , i'm not going to be paying you and that you keep the truck, he first agrees and tells me that he will think it over later on he backs down and says no that he wants his money , i told him im not paying you anything.
he's threatening me that he is going to take me to court , but I dont have possesion of the truck, the truck is still with him ,

my problem is that why should I pay him , he did not fix my truck but made it worst.

 

Combine both the original shop and freightliner bill

original shop bill is at $3400 USD and freightliner bill is at $4000 USD .

I don't even want the truck , I told the mechanic its your truck now, but he says he doesn't want the truck I told him already that I'm not paying you anything because you did not fix my truck and that that he made it worse , he threatened me that he's going to take me to court for his payment. The issue I got is that if the truck is under his possession how can he take me to court, If I had taken the truck back and told him that I would have paid him a month later but did not pay him then it makes sense he would put lien on the truck and take the truck under his possession.
I'm not even interested in going to court to fight over my old piece of #### truck that is worth less than 10,000 dollars.

went to the volvo dealership looked at some new 760 VNL probably have a new truck by the end of the year

 

looking at doing leasing won't have to deal with any stupid mechanical repairs
