Little p*ssed off with the Garage...

[LukeFR]

Evening All,

Well car went in the garage today for so called 'warranty' work. For those of you who don't know, I bought the car from a Mazda main dealer in June 2011. It had been P/Ex'd against a Mazda 6 so the warranty is RAC Warranty.

Anyways, few bits needed sorting and just hadn't had the time to take it in. Went in today for the following

• N/S/F Window sometimes get stuck like motor has burnt out
• Alarm doesn't work, had it Vagcom'd and no sound coming from it
• Boot Gas Springs are weak.

Anyways, they call me back later and say..

N/S/F - Had to take door apart, greased all behind - that's £56 please!
Alarm - Can't fix it, our mechanics don't understand your vagcom report
Gas Springs - Not covered under warranty, that will be £61 please.

Moral of Story - RAC warranty is rubbish, mechanics are rubbish and love how they took car apart without letting me know!

All after market warranties are rubbish period! My parents took out a super duper warranty out on their 3 year old smart car, the latest warranty refusal was a faulty radio. But they said its not covered cos its corroded. Your better off putting a little a side each month to cover yourself for repairs.

and how would they fix it otherwise?

I asked them to look at the window, I didn't give them permission to take it apart without informing me and leaving me with a bill. I was told I'd be contacted prior to any work taking place...

When my window was sticking the dealers just sprayed some silicon spray around the seals (no taking anything apart) and it fixed it straight away. Was foc too.

our local stealer "fixed" our sticking front window by bending the frame.:w4nk: cue much shouting and took it to another dealer (central seat) who made a much better job of fixing it.
