While my vehicle smashed down outoftown, I'd the alternator changed at Mr. Tire - internet of Monro and Stand Groups. I've a Saab, and that I understand its costly... But there's mark up, after which their is highway robbery. They explained it'd charge $700 to get a new alternator, but I really could obtain a re-great overnighted from Albany (since there isnot just one Saab alternator within the whole town of Buffalo) for $399. I had been caught, plus they understood it. The vehicle smashed again per week later. As directed from the Mr. Tire people, I named a Monro in Rochester to create great about the guarantee. After I named, an electric engineer recommended me that Saabs were very hard and suggested when I believed it had been an electric issue I ought to take it to some seller. If it had been the alternator, obviously they'd recognize the guarantee. Right. And so I provide the vehicle to stated seller, plus they claim I've a defective alternator. They don't utilize re-fabs since this occurs constantly, and they are not worth a garbage. A brand new alternator might charge me $375 - delay another! The brand new one, is significantly less than the re-great?! Oh yes. And so I did some study about the wholesale price of the Saab 9-3 alternator and unearthed that the typical bottom cost was between $150 and $225. Questionable. And so I contact Mr. Tire plus they shout at me for not getting the vehicle to some Monro, and so I shout at them for having an idiot who explained to not. I keep these things deliver the cash towards the dealer to get a new alternator and matter me a reimbursement look for the distinction. The work was less also - win-win right? Incorrect. Monro will not recognize the guarantee until the vehicle is fixed at-one of the stores. We will discover why. I choose that I actually donot wish to die on that slope, plus they pull my vehicle back again to Rochester to some other store compared to one using the electric engineer who had been scared of Saabs... Like in my opinion the technicians are wiser about the east-side than downtown. You had believe at this time they'd get directly on it. Oh no. The next day after I have not noticed in the store I contact them. "Oh thats your vehicle!" the man says. "I was gonna contact you, but I really dropped your linen... Oh wait, here it's the following. Yes... That components on purchase." On purchase? Were you actually gonna tell me that you simply towed my vehicle from a store that may have set it instantly, for less, and without you needing to pull it just for me to experience my bicycle in the torrential rain for another 4 times? I contact another store searching for the supervisor that I handled first - oil monkey requires me what occurred and profits to keep in touch with me as though he were created first: "what would you anticipate, you purchased a Saab?! You need to know better right now, it requires some time to obtain Saab areas. I am talking about, I can not simply draw an alternator out-of my bottom!" oh, you didn't simply state that. Director frowns but provides no apology. I request an oil-change to alleviate the of my Easter weekend without any vehicle. They decline. I say I'd like A BRAND NEW alternator this time around. I get no solution. I email their customer support and obtain an extremely curt response requesting me to forward the right files and they'll correct any differences - as though disrespect, lateness, impertinence, tolls, gasoline, period and bicycle trips seem on the fix bill. Obviously all of US realize that if he truly desired to assist, he'd have looked over his pc and gotten them herself. Tuttut. I finally get my car back. I mentally include an inside describing for their bill... The leather is coated with vehicle yuck. I obtain a concept from supervisor telling me that they are placing a brand new alternator in, but there are several "free contacts" and they believe there can be various other electrical issue. You are showing me ostensibly... On my solution the doorway... That I ought to anticipate another issue?! Exactly what the heck is just a "free link?" I am talking about - did you deploy the alternator or not? Not. Vehicle quickly dies again following day. Tired of these jerks, I consider the vehicle elsewhere. They claim its the alternator. Oh buddy. It can not be the alternator. What're the chances of having two garbage alternators in AROW? They look for additional options. I stand up a in additional costs looking for the reason for my useless vehicle. This store indicates I alter the battery in the end this desperate and resuscitation. Because my Saab battery was under guarantee I introduced it back again to the seller. They connect my vehicle and state "Bunch, we guarantee, its the alternator." they display it in my experience - I'm-not a technician, but Iam not silly possibly - connect alternator, battery pipes, remove alternator, battery good. The technician who looked over my vehicle fourteen days earlier removes the alternator and informs me they never changed it. Its exactly the same defective one he noticed fourteen days before. Same label, small x onto it. I completely got lied to... Just like a carpet. $1000 in costs that did not really repair something. All simply because they did not do the things they stated these were likely to do. After I created an enormous smell, they condescended to pay me for that price of the initial function I'd completed in the Mr. Tire. Only the main point here. No losing sight of their method for you. No customer support. No apologies. These folks overcharge with a lot for that complete minimum permitted legally. So when you face them about this, they allow you to in to the issue. Do not move there!!!
