            Company has 30 day warranty on labor and refused to warranty their work. After having them work on my instrument cluster, they damaged the needle servos. None of my gauges read correctly. They insisted I take it to the local auto/electric shop down the road and they would cover and repair costs or replacement costs. The auto/electric shop was skilled enough to repair their mistakes for $301. After returning with my cluster working, they refused to cover the damages and only refunded my $74.

            The warranty we provide covers the service we did.  We desoldered and resoldered a connector.  That is fine, there is no problem with the connector.  The assembly is a complicated teardown, and in our estimate and disclaimer statement we mention that we are not responsible for damage beyond our control.

            We at no time offered to cover any additional expenses on this repair, just referred the client to an ******************* we trust for further review.  

            My take is that this person was trying to modify a stock part, and that did not work out the way he expected. 

            The work we did as far as the soldering was beyond reproach and if he is using that board then he is using the work we did.

            Even though we refunded the money he spent at our store.

            This is a he said, she said affair, and we stand behind what we do, but we don't eat the costs of others mistakes.

            AFA I am concerned we did nothing wrong.  But still refunded the money that was paid us, which was about half of the actual time spent.

            We will not work on such equipment in the future knowing that it can cause damage just dissassembly the device.

            Sincerely *****************************

            Owner of Zebra Computers for over 17 years.

             in the construction or repair of any chattel at the request of its owner, shall have a lien upon such chattel for such labor performed or material furnished, notwithstanding the fact that such chattel be surrendered to the owner thereof: PROVIDED, HOWEVER, That no such lien shall continue, after the delivery of such chattel to its owner, as against the rights of third persons who, prior to the filing of the lien notice as hereinafter provided for, *** have acquired the title to such chattel in good faith, for value and without actual notice of the lien.

            Further, while it is store policy to contact you upon completion of repair, it is your responsibility to check with us when repair is complete - I don't check my voicemail or your email went to spamis not an acceptable excuse to get out of the 45 day rule.
