SO SICK OF MY MECHANIC!!

:evil: Well I was getting my mechanic to change over the gearbox for me in my 89 civic. And I call him up a week later (today) and he tells me its ready but the spedo doesnt work. Im like wtf and he says somethin musta gone wrong when he was putting the speedo thinging back in the gearbox.

Now he says he spent 2 hours trying to fix it and tells me he wont be able to look at it again till next week. So I am going to pick my car off him and he has charged me an extra 100 for labour for this.

The speedo was working fine when I dropped it in, shouldnt it be his responsibility not mine to fix something he didnt do right? I shouldnt have to pay for it.

Arggg I think I will just change mechanics :evil:

Where exactly is the speed meter in the gearbox? is it inside the actual gearbox? I.e could it be a problem with the second hand gearbox I got?

Thanks!


Edit:: Car is 89' civic manual hatch

u shouldn't have to pay for his mistakes! that's just so wrong.

you oughta argue with him about this and see dat he doesn't con others as well.

If it's like mine there should be a VSS which plugs into the box, you have to be careful with it so as not to damage or bend the cable. If he has damaged it he has to fix it.

Tell him to fix it. Otherwise say you are going to take it to another mecahnic who CAN fix it and you agoing to get him to pay for it. If he agrees to this, get it in writing and take it to Hanny's in Smithfield.

You shouldn't have to pay for his mistakes.

tell him if it's not fixed then you'll call the MTA. :)

edit: that's if he is a member of the MTA...or call departmend of fairtrading for advice.

Its hard cause he is our family mechanic and has been for over 15 years. Its unlike him to screw me around, he is usually quite good. But I dunno, I am taking it back to him after the hsc for him to fix and if he tries to charge me ill rip his balls off

*fake sigh* <faget lil fukn whingy voice...> "fark man, why do u have recommend Hannys AGAIN? why do u ALL think Hannys is God??? its better to DIY urself Rufes..ill come over n help u and collectively we can completely fuk up ur car..."

And what's exactly wrong or should I say so bad about Hannys? If it's good enough for the highly priced Hondas, it's good enough for the rest, that's how I see it. :roll:
