Q: Hired a mechanic to work on my car after leaving I noticed my car wasn’t working well got it checked out and it’s broken
The mechanic had to move everything out in order to fix my transmission but I believe while doing that he messed something up because after that my cars Turbo started to fail (never had a problem with it) now I have a broken car and 3.6k down the hole. I called him and told him this and he took the car back when I picked it up again he said it was a loose hose, 2 days after that my car notified me that my turbo is still broken. Is there anything I can do?
A: Well, it appears that the mechanic did not do his job correctly. If the mechanic cannot fix the problem or reimburse you for your expenses, I would suggest litigating this matter in Small Claims Court. If the mechanic is unresponsive, you can let him know that you plan to file a case in Small Claims Court. This may motivate him before any case if filed. Good luck.
