Damaged my car and refuse to refund money - Justice
I took my car in for an oil change. Somebody did not screw the oil cap on right and unknown to me I drove for 100's of km like this. I lost power and opened the hood to see oil was shooting to the back of the engine from the oil cap, which was cross threaded on. I put the cap on right and took it to Schwab because of an engine light. They said the light was likely because the cap wasn't on right. They reset it.It came back on once I made it to Edmonton. I went back twice more and they reset it again and then booked me in to have a look. Shaun said he would charge me for half the cost for the 100 point inspection to determine what happened. Turned out the pvc valve blew and cracked the crankshaft cover as well. This was directly caused by the oil cap being cross threaded and the pressure. They charged me to fix this, and on top of that also charged me for a break inspection and a diagnosis fee. I didn't agree with it,and they told me to try GM and see if they will cover it under the warranty that expired a few months before. So I paid the bill hoping I would get the money back. But that never happened, and so I told Schwab I wanted my money back for the repair. They offered half the price,and I said no, especially considering that I had driven a total of four hours out of my way to have my vehicle fixed by them. They said no and I said that I will take them to court then. Upon talking with a lawyer, he told me to go back and tell them I would accept 1/2 the bill back in an effort to mitigate my losses. I went back and they refused....SO much for treating a loyal customer good. now I must file legal action to get not only that money back, but the time lost, and other costs...I will never go back to GM again!
