Bad Luck

Home AC busted= $175
Car busted= $860
Car busted 5 min later= $310
Wife car broken= $400


All in two weeks time. I pick up car from the mechanic and 5 minutes later I'm back. Rat mechanic tells me it's my fault because I did not follow all his recommendations. He did not tell me it was that important. Tells me he wants $250 more to fix it. OK. He fixed it and then said it was $250 for labor only and wants $390. What a rat. When I finally leave the rat mechanic my wife calls me her car is broken.

Imagine all that in bass money!!!
 
I'd follow it up as much as you can.

I remember we had a similar problem a few years back. The fuel pump died. We got a replacement fitted. Mechanic didn't fit it properly so the car broke down again the day after we got it.

They tried to bill us again after having fixed it, to which they got a phone call and basically told where to put said invoice.

On the bright side, you still have your health, money and material possetions are nice, but they can't fix everything. Good health, good company. Free and worth so much more than money can give :)
