    Status:
    Answered
    Took my car in for some recalls which was a nightmare in itself. Supposedly my car wouldn’t start to move from the terminal and the positive cable to the battery was so corroded *** ***** recommended I change it. I paid $205 to get that changed. Fast forward to 2 weeks later, my car won’t start, bad battery and it’s not even a year old. The so called new cable is covered in electrical tape and the post connector was spray painted black and the mechanic I took it to said it had not been replaced. Called *** ***** right away who was going to make it right because he saw an issue that the tech didn’t even replace the cable just the post connect and was going to credit me $105, I said well I didn’t even get a new post connect it’s black. *** ***** stated a new connector would be shiny. He said forward me the pictures and I will get back to you Monday. Monday comes no call, my husband and myself both left voicemails. Then the so called service manger ***** ***** called my husband and was saying he had 30 years experience and backs up his employees and they did their job right, saying it was the cable that was replaced and the black is a corrosion inhibitor. I did not get what I paid for and ***** ***** felt crediting me $77.50 was fair. Seriously, I am beyond mad that I paid for a service that I did not get and ***** ****** attitude was not necessary.

    Tried to scam me out of 3k. I needed my LED taillight strip replaced. I have extended warranty. Under coverage is lighting assembly which is exactly what Thoroughbred explained it as. They said it would be **** dollars, I called **** protect. They said Thoroughbred never submitted an RO or claim. They suggested I file a complaint. Once I complained to the ** and explained I caught them, magically it was covered. They also told me I needed 4 new tires (tires arent even 2 years old.) I checked w place I purchased tires as the tires have a warranty. They checked all 4 tires. No issues. This place does not want to honor the warranty work. They did the same to a relative, tried to charge him full price for a new key that WAS covered on warranty for a deductible of ******. They really ran me out of time on my warranty. After 500 plus dollars in diagnostic fees with really no answers to the issues. This place is sad, I will never be back or buy another *****
