Club 600

I need some 600 club advice on a situation. I got a new used motor for my car the last day in July and because it has to come out from the bottom it's pretty costly. It took me a little while to save the extra $1300 to have it put in. All said in done it's been 69 days since I actually picked up the motor and it had a 60 warranty. They sent a front wheel drive motor instead of an AWD one. I had it in the shop but it took him a couple of weeks to make room. Now I have to pay the mechanic to get a car off the lift with no wheels or axles so he can use his garage. To top it off, the place I got the motor from says the warranty has expired and I have to eat it. Now understand this if it was bad or didn't run, because this makes it a warranty issue in my opinion. But they didn't sell me the motor the billed me for or said they sold me but it looks the same and has the 1.8 on it. Now they tell me that it's all my fault and they don't have the right motor to trade but won't refund my money for the wrong motor they sold me. They told me for $400 extra they can order it and have it here by Fri. Am I wrong for thinking this is fucked up by the parts store. I went ahead and paid it so i can get my car fixed but damn. This whole deal is costing me $600 because of somebody pulling me the wrong part. Advice anyone?

I'm with Mo. Complain complain complain. Talk to someone else, and someone else. Maybe you can get high enough to get the money back. Don't be a dick to anyone, so they can't use that against you. Just keep telling your story over and over... and boil it down to the important facts, don't point out every detail.

You bought engine A, they shipped you engine B. End of story... they should give you engine A, for no extra cost. That's it. Repeat that over and over. That's what I would do. Oh... and admit that you lagged, people like when others admit their part. But lagging doesn't change the fact they sent the wrong motor.

And then I'd have my wife call and she'd get the money back right away... because she's good on the phone like that.

Is this a VW? Audi?

I agree that as long as you keep them moist it is hard to go wrong with the plugs. I have seen it go wrong first hand though and have no idea why. My buddy recently had three out of 25 seeds pop. I don't see his plants every day so I can't say what went wrong but I am sure it was operator error and not the seeds or plugs. He's a newbie to growing and seems to be making a lot of mistakes despite my coaching. I say, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink, lol.

Push harder. If you have a PO that says one part and they sent you the wrong one you can return it for being the wrong part. Talk to a supervisor or a manager or send a letter to the owner of the company.

It was the owner of a major used and new part dealer here in town. That's what I thought but wasn't sure. Thanks

@jigfresh Admitting I lagged was the first thing I explained and that I had to save up money. I even used Christmas time as an example of a time people buy things and hold onto them for 60-75 days and would be very upset if the item wasn't what it was supposed to be. It's a Pontiac Vibe w/toyota 1.8 motor

What do you guy's think about contacting the BBB?

Document everything that transpired and write: the manager, cc the parent co., the
NYS Atty. Gen.'s office., and the Better Business Bureau.
Hopefully that will get someone's attention.
You have to have it on paper to prove anything.
:peace:
Jimmer, make sure you include the cc list on all copies.

I have every email saved and invoice saying what I ordered, I guess I should take a picture of what they sent and was wrong for even more proof. I don't like paying the mechanic but the parts shop is another story. I think their issue is they got the first one off a wrecked car and now they don't have 1 in stock, so they have to order it from somewhere.

You will also want to include the engine #'s to show it was the wrong one.
You are right the mech. is your responsibility.

Very good point, my motor's plate is missing but the new wrong motor has it. A close up picture of this should work right? The VIN number should prove this? I'm not very car smart, but can take advice.

Contact the attorney general like Oldman said. I had a transmission go in West Virginia and took it to aamco. They said it's be 10 days. Paid them 3000 for a 1800$ estimate. 4 weeks later it wasn't done, I made them take it off the lift and tow it to the Dodge dealer. Called the attorney general, they gave me 5000 back and the "new transmission" that was supposedly installed. I ended up trading the Durango in and bought something else. The atty Gen is the way to go

I heard about that Oldman, sad story :( Oneonta has gone so far down hill over the last 10 years it's scary. Some roadrager just shit and killed a 28 ya old and severely injured the kids dad by shooting them in the town of Bainbridge today, too. That was the last town I lived in before I moved here. Super small town that's just getting crazy with drugs and crime
