Okay, so a buddy and I head to Jerrys Curb Service for a bite to eat, and while we are there, Rick (used to work for Jay tinting cars, now has own biz), Jay (used to own Tri County Customs), and their familys pull up in their fancy cars and stuff, which was cool. We are hangin out and talkin for over an hour about stuff, and then Rick turns to me and says.. so dude, Dave (current owner) told me your engine showed up today? and I replied yeah, I saw it this morning, and said they wanted my car in at 11am Tuesday to start tearing it apart. WELL, Rick gave me some inside news.. and here it is..

When I go down there tomorrow, Dave is going to refund me the labor charges and tell me to take the swap somewhere else, because apparently he cant find anyone to do the install (Dave told me Jay was gonna do it, but never asked Jay.. just assumed. Jay hates Dave). Rick also told me that Dave didnt order anything up until last week, when I started getting suspicious and asking for proof they ordered it and such, that is when he actually ordered it. So it turns out that when they "received" the wrong swap, that they were lying (I had no way of verifying this because I was in Texas).

Anyway.. what should I do? I will take the refund I get in a heartbeat, but should I cause a scene and try to make them pay to ship the swap back and tell them I want a full refund? Threaten with a lawsuit? BBB? Attorney General? Should I take the refund, take the swap, and when I move into my new home do it myself with a few friends in our garage?

Desperately in need of advice.. I personally want to make them eat shipping and get a full refund and go to court and try to shut them down, but the other part of me wants to take the refund and the swap and do it myself. I am leaning towards the latter because it would be good experiance plus I already have the swap ready for me to pick up...

 

I'd find another shop to do it and have them pay to have it shipped to that shop.

 

what is it with you and wanting to take everyone to court?

get a refund and do the swap yourself :slap:

 

:rofl: you live and feed off high school drama all the time????

 

I think I would actually have a case here.. my dad wants me to make them suffer, but I dont want to go through the hassle.

I would not be as mad if they had just told me that they cant do it, and never ordered it.

 

You have nothing better to do than to make pointless posts?

 

Ok so let me get this straight (lot of uneeded crap in there)

You go into shop.
They refund the labor money.
You take engine and your labor money and go somewhere else for swap.

Is this correct?

If it is then I don't see what there is to bitch about except that they are backing out of the labor side which is pretty fucked up. The good part of it is that you can find someone else to do it for less than you had stated. In fact you could buy the tools and do it yourself in a week your first time out and have it running fine.

 

Thank you, I was waiting for you to post since you seem to be paying attention to this more than everyone else.

Im just mad that they led me on for 7 weeks and they are now giving me the engine and telling me to run.

 

Ship it?

hell I carried an H22 and transmission in the trunk of my 94 Accord for 400 miles. Why pay for shipping?

 

are you asking me or telling me? just be straight forward... here ill show you how...

YOU have nothing better to do than make pointless threads.

hence, i make pretty much pointless posts cuz everything was pointless to begin with! :crazyr:

so.... anyway.....


hows your exgf? you still punching your pillows at night in anger and then burying your face into afterwards with tears?
