A: If you have paid for upgrades to your Jeep and the parts were never installed, you may have recourse to seek a refund. The timeframe within which you can pursue a refund depends on various factors, including the laws in your jurisdiction and any agreements or contracts you entered into with the mechanics shop. Since some work was done and some parts were never installed, each transaction may have its own timeframe for seeking a refund.

Given that you have asked multiple times for the parts to be installed and they were never installed, this could strengthen your case for a refund. However, since the mechanics shop has changed names but still has the same owner, you may still be able to pursue a refund by contacting the shop or the owner directly. It's essential to gather any documentation related to the transactions, such as receipts, invoices, and records of communication, to support your request for a refund.

If you are unsure about your rights or how to proceed, you may want to consult with a legal advisor who can review your situation and provide guidance on the appropriate steps to take. They can help you understand your rights under the law and any options available to you for seeking a refund. By taking action promptly and seeking professional advice, you can increase the likelihood of obtaining a refund for the upgrades that were never installed on your Jeep.
