My rim is cracked from a small curb collision and I want to get it fixed at a shop. Since it was a one car thing and I’m paying for it by myself, will my insurance find out about it?

My boyfriend took his car to a shop to be fixed and they said it was the fuel pump. They supposedly fixed it but soon after the same problem occured. He returned it and they fixed it yet again..and just recently the same problem has occured. He returned it to them and they said that they replaced the fuel pump with a new one..wich was covered by the warranty..and that all he had to pay was the labor cost. He feels he shouldnt have to pay anything and is wondering if there are any legal actions he can take if necessary…and who should he call…what kind of legal council does he need?

I just returned from a Firestone tire center where I bought three new tires back on July 27 or 28. This is now August 10th. They didn’t have the tires in stock even though they are very popular tires for economy cars. So they had my car in their shop for 2 and one half days to put the tires on, and then when I get the car back, it squeaks around the wheels and shocks incessantly when you go over even the slightest ripple in the road. They had my car overnight last night and still no cure.My car is a 2002 vintage, and it squeaks like it’s a 1902 vintage that’s been sitting in a dusty old garage all this time and never been used. My temper got so bad that I had to come here to ask this question, simply to ask, are there others who feel as angry as I do when some repair person does your car wrong, and then you have to spend extra dollars and much more time and travel to get their abuse corrected?? I’m sorry if my temper offends anyone, but, professional incompetence just drills me
It’s the identical size and brand tire that I’ve had on it all along, so, that wouldn’t be it. They did inflate it to 34 pounds, which is 4 pounds above what I usually run it at, so tomorrow morning, 4 pounds is coming out, just to check.
I know the feeling k_reggie, just from reading your answer. And the worst part of it all is that I feel bad about being upset at them. Somehow there’s something bassackwards about all this. My favorite mechanic will be looking it all over Monday or Tuesday, August 12 or 13th, I hope, and all will be corrected then, at whatever price may befall me. And I was just reading my Bible, in Proverbs, Chapter 19, vs. 11, wherein it said, The learning of a man is known by patience; and his glory is to pass over wrongs. Hmmm. Am I being told to cool my jets and just accept the trial in the name of God, or am I being told those individuals at the Firestone dealership ain’t worth s–t, or both. Hmmm. Thanks k-reggie. God Bless you.

tj asked:


My son flipped his car onto it’s roof yesterday. Luckily he was not injured. The car is dented but looks like it would still be driveable if it would start up. It was upside down for a little over an hour before we were able to get it turned back on the wheels and tow it home. The engine will not start. What needs to be done to repair an engine after a car has been on it’s roof?
