I dropped off my car for engine work (water pump replacement, belt
replacement, oil leaks, etc.) on 7/12/07. At the time I dropped off
the car, the driver-side window was working fine, and has been
working
fine since I bought it about eight months ago. But when I was called
into the store to pick up the vehicle on 7/13/07, I went to the store
on the same day, paid and got my key, entered the car, and tried to
roll up the window, but it was completely jammed. I notified the
mechanic, and the mechanics there then took out the side panel of the
door and un-jammed the window, but the window no longer was
completely
in the slider, creating a gap and allowing for leaks during rain.
Also, when the mechanics removed the door panel, they placed it
across
the font seats and left oil stains. So on this same day of 7/13/07,
I
complained to the mechanic, but he said that the owner, Raul Mendez,
was not in and only the owner can authorize the repairs. The
mechanic
said that the owner would be in at 8:00 A.M. on Monday 7/16/07 and
that I should come in that day to get authorization from the owner.
So I arrived at 8:00 A.M. on the specified date, but then I had to
wait until 9:45 A.M. before the owner finally showed up. The owner
said the he will take care of the stains the next day at 8:00 A.M.,
(7/17/07) and that he will try to fix the window without charging me
for labor. But he said that if any parts require replacement, he
will
not cover the cost of the parts. He said that their mechanics did
not
touch the window and therefore they did not break it. But, I believe
they did break it because it was working fine when I dropped off the
car.
So I came back to the business on Tuesday, 7/17/07 at 8:00 A.M. I
went and waited until 8:45 A.M. but he did not show up at the
business. No one knew where he was, but the worker there took my
number and said that if the owner is interested, he will call me
regarding why he did not show up to repair and clean my car. The
owner never called.
