Why do you need a price? shouldn't the mechanic be shopping around???

(my EK CXi box cost me $750)

how is the gearbox broken? May be able to salvage it instead of buying a reco'd one.

What dont you get the mechanic that broke it to pay for it!! They were the ones that forced it.

the shop you had the work carried out at should pay for a reco'd box + re-fitting. It was their fault as stated and you as the customer shouldn't be looking for prices.

nah coz i took box out, it was a mobile machinic, and where it is broken he didnt touch, my old man has looked at it and agrees

But you said he forced it...

**shadou** · 15-09-2007 05:50 AM

... so you broke it, then a mobile mech came by and decided to put a broken gearbox back knowing he'll probably get in to shit by doing so.. is that what you are saying?
