so my car is at the paint shop getting ready i go over yersterday to take a door cuz my passenger has 2much wrought i figured i will use my spare. while im looking at the work done the guy their ask me if the car has a kill switch on it cuz they cant get the car started.i state no the car was working fine when i drove it their. he says that it turned on when they drove it out of the shop to park outside the day before(they park the car inside the shop to avoid theft) but when they tried to start later on that day it wouldnt turn on. they said the battery was dead so they pushed it inn and back out the next day yesterday. i tried cranking the car on but it wouldnt turn. their was gas in the tank i could hear the pump come on when i turned the swich but nothing. he called the mechanic over from the shop next door to see if he can help. the guy removes a spark plug wire and ask me to try to turn the engine.after doing so he says im not getting any spark it might be the coil pack. he goes and grabs his machine to plug in the car the machine said it was the idle air control module. he trys to start the car again??nothing again so he trys one more time the thing is the engine is just turning and the guy is turning the ignition on for a steady 10-15 seconds as im getting ready to say ur gonna f something up i hear a zing zing zing..
he just mess up the starter it sounds like an fn whistlea kid blows on.. and says hmm ur statr just went out..i look at the guy that was suppose to work on my paint job and say so i bring the car here it runs fine u said u turned it on and drove it out but couldnt get it started now my car wont only start for some reason but the starter is broken now.he says hes baffled its not like they drove the car around just in and out the shop. i say how much longer till ur done with the paintyouve had the car for a little over 2weeks. he states it should be 2 more all the prep is done its just changing the front floor boards cuz of the wrought. i say ok and as i hand him the keys he says i will try to remove the starter and see if the starter is gone. i say it is but tit doesnt mateert now the starter is gone and if it gets replaced the car still wont turn on becuz the starter was working fine before.and i leave with wat to do now.
now i con understand that something might mess up on the car if its the coil i understand no problem. heres the thing that mechanic next door he fooked up that starter he was working he tampered with it and messed it up thats how i feel. now i decided that on the day i go pick up my car with its nice new paint i am going to thell the guy. that he is not going to get paid the rest of that money untill my car is working he can try to comprimise at the very least change the starter and then he will get paid i am going to walk with him to the shop next door and talk to that mechanic and his boss if their and tell them u broke my starter u were not getting paid for the service this i know,but u were on working hours and wearing the company uniform their for u and ur shop r responsible for the damages and should fix it.. am i right am i wrong any lawyers in here
let me know what u as a tr member,mechanic etc.. think

He was out to get me. Took me over 25 years to build up my tool set again and swore I'd never work at a dealership again...they are all out to get everyone. The independent repair shops seems to be more honest with people. Well, at least with me, but I do my own work because I trust no one. Good post, DD.
