On August 11, Stevenson Toyota Dealer at 2325 N. Marine Blvd. Jacksonville, NC 28546, phone# (910) 849-1555 examined our Toyota vehicle. My partner had them to set up COMPOSING precisely what was wrong withit and also the specific cost. It is written down they did a stress check, a engine-block test when detecting issue. The engine-block was examined and ok. Created certification mentioned they'd repair head gasket, water pump, timing gear, oil-change & antifreeze for arranged cost of $1,892. It was authorized by support agent: Mr. Gary Thornton.
My husband spoke together virtually daily in regards to the vehicle. And every single day they'd attempt to include another thing to operate the statement up. Oneday they named & stated it requires a brand new timing gear and also the cost could be $373. Additional. My spouse question them just how much for that component and just how much for work. They stated the component was $73. And work could be $300 bucks. My spouse (one of his true levels is in technicians) informed them given that they will need to take away the time gear anyway to complete the gasket, why are they likely to cost for work for something which is likely to be removed anyhow? He asked given that they might have a classic gear about the table along with a fresh one, what is maintain the specialist from buying up the brand new one & placing it on rather than the previous one. The support consultant decided and informed my spouse he was definitely correct! Therefore, they'd place the brand new on for that cost of the component ($73.) Times later, after I browse the support contract, I came across the time gear had been already contained in the preliminary cost! RIPOFF, RIPOFF
A later date, they advised my husband, vehicle need indication flushed and desired us to pay for extra for that. My partner advised them-not to achieve this company. We'd simply had indication maintained and flush 14 days preceding. They named again desired to do spark plugs and cost large charge. Husband declined to possess him do that. What for, husband may do this. They didn't recognize husband realized about automobiles because they were attempting to tear us down. Husband was informed vehicle could be prepared Friday (8/17/07).
On friday (8/17/07), the support department named requested my husband might they maintain the vehicle until Friday (8/20/07), and we're able to get then. Husband gave ok.
On Monday (8/20/07), 'YOUR DAY WE WERE SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE VEHICLE UP' we received communication on answering device to contact H in the support department. Husband called to be informed the vehicle had a BREAK ENGINE-BLOCK & might charge $6,000.
Issue is that this: on 8/11/07, they examined engine-block it had been good based on them. Today, on 8/20/07, at period for all of US to choose vehicle up the engine-block is damaged. If its damaged today, they made it happen. We instantly went to Stevenson Automotive Dealer to go over this issue. We requested to talk to the dog owner (John O. Stevenson); we received the run around. Then we were informed the Mr. Stevenson wasn't in. We were informed to keep in touch with a guy called Mr. Cabolla. We advised him that people have written down where the support department was to repair vehicle for decided price & where they did an engine-block ensure that you it had been good. Therefore, if its damaged today-they broke it! We advised him we anticipated them to repair our vehicle for that decided cost they place in writing. This problem wasn't solved. Once we were making it seemed like he explained anything towards the aftereffect of"thatis the way in which these NIGGER, or NEGRO are".
NOTE: my spouse & I are an interracial couple. I'm african american and husband is bright. I had been very upset by this. My partner turned so furious, I'd to calm him along
8/21/07, my partner named and requested to talk to the dog owner (Mr. Stevenson) to go over this issue with him (the issue using the vehicle and also the racial overtones by a worker). He was informed the vehicle today DOESN'T POSSESS A BREAK STOP!
Husband asked 'have you been likely to repair my vehicle'? They advised him for $595 bucks, he might come get, but he'd have to 'PULL" it having a tow vehicle since the vehicle is in 'items/split apart'. Today, I would like to understand this directly. We WENT this vehicle towards the dealer. It had been drivable, however now we are likely to 'pull' it home. They need us to pay for them nearly $600 bucks for ripping it-up! They took it-up! Another demand was designed to possess the operator to contact us.
8/23/07, a guy by title of Paul McCarthy, named in the dealer. He requested to talk to my spouse. I told him husband wasn't house but is likely to be in half an hour. I advised him that I needed to talk to the dog owner (John Stevenson). Mr. McCarthy explained he may be the one that addresses 6 shops for Stevenson Automotive. He DECLINED to provide me connection with the dog owner.
I, then, requested Mr. McCarthy 'what's incorrect with this vehicle'? He mentioned, I Will tell Mr._. (my husband) after I speak with him. I expected him again, but he DECLINED to inform me something regarding the vehicle. Today, actually, I'll function as the one composing the look for purchase the job! This created me feel just like "he can't inform the 'BLACK WOMAN' what's incorrect WITH THIS vehicle. He's to hold back and keep in touch with the 'WHITE GUY'! He did call-back and spoke with my spouse. He nevertheless had no solution concerning vehicle.
8/24/07, at 12:00 noon, Mr. Paul McCarthy named. He advised husband that they can repair the vehicle for that decided cost. He explained the 'engine-block isn't damaged'. He mentioned the motor is unequal however the specialist MAY repair the problem. Husband asked him are you confident? He assured us they might repair it. When questioned of a warranty, he reluctantly stated he'd provide us a warranty. I believed that guarantee was only a little bazaar to get a MAIN dealer.
Therefore, I named his additional shops (they've 11 of these) to discover what's the conventional warranty provided for components & job on the function. I then found out the conventional guarantee they provide out is: 12 WEEKS/12 THOUSAND MILES. Then my partner named the support department at Stevenson Toyota (where our vehicle is) to ask the conventional guarantee. He was educated: 12 WEEKS/12 THOUSAND MILES. If others get 12 WEEKS/12 THOUSAND kilometers, then what's this? Is that this the 'NIGGER' guarantee? Why do I've to obtain the "NIGGER" guarantee?
At 12:30 midday (8/24/07), my husband calls Mr. McCarthy back and have concerning the guarantee scenario. ALL A, today McCarthy claims he doesn't believe the job they're likely to do may correct the issue.
Note: thirty minutes earlier he offered GUARANTEES that it'd/might repair the problem! That will be it? This is actually the Toyota Dealer. We didn't consider our vehicle with a port-knee technician exercising of the yard. The dealer would be the professionals on Toyotas.By today, SEPT 15, we nevertheless DON'T HAVE OUR VEHICLE! It's at their dealer. They'll not speak with me. They'll not provide us our vehicle. I'm shocked how this dealer has handled me. They're improper, seriously mistreat clients, need to provide me the 'NIGGER' guarantee & deliberate cause psychological damage attempting to TEAR an individual off.
Jacksonville is just a military city (house to Camp Lejeune, the Marine Base).
Therefore, I can't think how they are able to handle military support people such as this. I'm something person in America Military.
My husband is just a former Maritime and Handicapped American Expert (hurt from battle). There steps are completely unjust!
