Do I Deserve My Money Back?

[R33_Rob]

So the other week i bought a brand new aftermarket steering wheel. i went to connect the horn. But unfortunately i pushed the brass button (located at the bottom end of the steering wheel) into the steering column. i took it to my mechanic and i asked the TO CONNECT MY AFTERMARKET HORN. anyway i go to drive away and the horn stops working again. so i leave my car there. come back 2 hours later and pick it up. on my way home the horn stops working again. so i take it back to the mechanic and tell them to fix it again. they said to me, "Look mate you are wanting to put an aftermarket part on your car. its your fault it stopped working. you fix the problem. we have had enough. we will tell you how to fix the problem but wont do it for you.

Now i think i deserve my money back. i paid $55.00 for a service which they didnt perform. however, they did open the steering column and put the brass button back in place.

P.s. Once i got home i took off my steering wheel to see why the horn stopped working. it turns out that they sticky taped the wire to the button.

P.S. Do you guys think i deserve my money back because my horn stopped working and they REFUSED to fix it. OR do u think that i dont deserve my money back because they fixed up that brass button. it seems to me like they only performed half the task.

This is an outrage.

[R33_Rob]

lol but seriously?

[WazR32GTSt]

yes you probably deserve your money back in a perfect world

unfortunately its probably not going to happen, and it really f***ing sucks if you ask me. the automotive industry is a terrible one at times.

they sound like a much of wankers .. maybe find a new mechanic??

[Spook's_Skyline]

yer, i dunno

id be extremely reluctant to ever go back to that place

perhaps learn a lesson and find somewhere that doesnt suck, and start going there

[R33_Rob]

yeah thats good advice to find a new mechanic.

when i told them i went through my clutch and gearbox they said it wasnt there fault because they replaced BOTH before they sold me the car. Absolute bullshit.

i guess i always take my car there cause they are like 200m down the road.

but in future ill go somewhere else.

thanks fellas

Yeah, it cost you $55 bucks to learn that your mechanic is useless... i say its money well spent

Always have a mechanic you know and trust

When you think of it that way, i have to agree.

If i was spending the big bucks, i would throw $55 away to just know I'm going to a good place.

Dump them, even for the little crap.

yeah for 55bucks i wouldnt bother. they probably dont have a soldering iron...lol your lucky they didnt take to it with a welder...ha

[racsov500]

how f*kcing hard is it to connect up a horn button?

[32line]

man, cbf screwin round with those diks....i mean, yeh, u prolly do deserve ur money bak...but they did spend time fixing the brass button thing...

only 50 bux...id let it go.

[dangerous_daveo]

You got a mechanic to put in a horn?

[HOTRDE]

It sounds like a job you could have easily done yourself... As mentioned its only $55 bucks, not really worth worrying about. As for the horn not working, these things happen occasionally and its not entirely his fault.

[32vspecII]

there only liable if its their work that is at fault for it keep breaking

if its some cheap ebay china part thats faulty and they keep fixing it but it constantly breaks cause the part is defective or sub standard then its not there fault

but if so they have poorly explained this , i would have fixed it showen you exactly what was the fault causing the issue and explained why its breaking and if it keeps happening that its not the workshops fault if i was them

no use telling people just to get stuffed

a baseball bat should give you your money back lol

[tridentt150v]

Your all blaming the wrong guy............ you should be sueing durex or scotch for the sticky tape that failed to work...lol.

For $55 you can get a few good spanners and screwdriver or two and do the work yourself!! Plus the bonus is you get to keep the tools.
