The transmission was slipping, so we brought it in to the dealer. They said it wasn't the transmission, but it was the engine mounts. They replaced them ($600?). I brought my husband back to the dealership to pick the car up, and followed him home. On the way home, the transmission died.<br /><br />We ended up with a new transmission (under warranty), and my husband (a lawyer) refused to pay for the engine mounts. The dealer argued that we needed them anyway, but my husband wouldn't budge, and the money was refunded.<br /><br />I think you should fight the original charges.Bobbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11001043737274480532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-26206326092957860962015-02-02T10:28:51.562-05:002015-02-02T10:28:51.562-05:00oh man - you really do need a break!

My stuff was covered under warranty though so I lucked out. Did the mechanic say the work they already did needed to be done? Or did they replace because they thought it might be an issue?

My car is new to me, less than a year ago, yet a 2009 model, and 3 months into driving it, it became undriveable and needed a belt or something. Thankfully,only that (several hundred dollars, as I remember it). And thankfully,it was summer. I dread the thought of car crap-outs in terrible weather.444https://www.blogger.com/profile/18317761558076527630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465887551310827456.post-61235035873582592362015-02-02T08:44:49.040-05:002015-02-02T08:44:49.040-05:00Aaagh that sounds like a nightmare ....but you see...Aaagh that sounds like a nightmare ....but you seem to be taking it in your stride! :-)Aodhnaithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444314178459813011noreply@blogger.com
