Home and Auto Recourse with Mechanic

**BigRichard** · 12-24-2016, 12:54 PM

I took my dad's 2005 Ford F150 5.4 Triton to a local mechanic here. I told them that my dad had taken it to the dealership to get plugs changed and quoted him over $2000 grand for plugs because they are those piece of shit two part plugs that break off and fall in the engine compartment. I told them that he had a misfire on cylinder 6 from the codes. I provided them with the codes since the battery had gotten totally drained and it wiped the codes. I wanted them to take a look at the issue as well.

Next day they call me and tell me they found the coil was bad on cylinder 6 and a few other minor things and the total will be around $750. I was pretty certain I had asked about the plugs and he told me that was included.

Two days later they tell me it is like $950 and all they did was basically replace the coil along with the other minor things like changing the oil and a couple of light bulbs. I asked about the spark plugs and he told me that he said they didn't want to do that the day before on the phone. I am a little pissed but say whatever you got me bent over I guess.

I remembered I had recording software on my phone that saves the last 40 telephone calls I have. I went back and listened and I specifically asked if the $750 included the coil and the plugs and he says yes.

As of me posting this I have not went up to pick up the truck. Do I go fight with them over it now or do I pay the fee and maybe take them to small claims court later?

Or am I just ****ed?

My ****ing blood is just boiling right now. Top it all off I am sick as shit too. Muther ****ers!!!
