as some of you know, my car got broken into couple weeks ago at the guv...
on friday when i picked up the car from the shop, i noticed that the speedo and the fuel gauge do not work. also, the mileage doesnt go up (yes, yes... better resale value)... anyways, i called them up and they told me to come on monday.
so yesterday i drop off the car and go home... today i find out that the shop that was working on my dash was a GM dealer across the street from the body shop i brought my car to... they told him they dont know whats the problem and will not repair it. i pick it up today, go to the GM dealer and wait for 45 minutes while the asshole manager is just chilling, but he's saying he's busy (even though there were no people in his office and it didnt seem like he was doing very important work)..i went in and told him im the owner of the BMW they ****ed up, so he tells to wait outside.
i wait and wait and wait and then just go to the owner and explain the problem VERY politely. he says: you have to talk to the manager about it. so im like "ive been waiting for almost an hour and he doesnt tell me when he's done" so the owner goes: THIS CONVERSATION IS OVER! TALK ONLY TO HIM. i calmly leave his office and just enter the managers office and say: Listen, ive been waiting for almost an hour.. atleast tell me when you can talk to me, cause i have a busy schedule. so he tells me he's on the phone.. so i ask him: when do you think you gonna finish and be able to talk to me? 5 minutes? 20 minutes? 2 hours? He just says "I dont know" and gives me a "YOU CANT DO SHIT, BUDDY" look.
so i dont know what to do and im exploding to the point i wanna throw a chair at this **** cause not only they ****ed up my car and tell me to take it to BMW and pay for it, they basically told me to **** off.
there were enough witnesses in the dealership ( even though they agreed with me ), but it wouldnt be good to go crazy in there, cause the popo would come.
so i just yell at him, slam the door and told him "youre in big trouble, shithead" and leave. i was driving home boiling, and the worker at Carstar (the 1st body shop) calls and tells me they called him and threatened to sue me. I told him i dont really care and he can go ahead and try, but he was like: dont worry about it... these guys are real assholes and they gave me a hard time too... we'll just send it to the BMW dealer and we'll pay for it.
i would honestly pay for this, but it pisses me off when people are so inconsiderate..and even though Carstar took the car there, i dont want them to let it go and pay for it..
so my question is: can i somehow LEGALLY screw the other shop up??
