  1. great idea, cept the response "he does not want to give a price without knowing how many buyers are involved" doesnt leave me sitting well. His pricing is what it is, so he should be able to tell you how much something would be. It isnt like he will be able to buy bulk and sell them based on how many people want them with a discount, his pricing is pretty firm I would imagine. Besides if he is informed of the avic community here, youd bet he could gather the number of people and spit out a price, especially with 3 pages of interest.

     

    interested but not holding breath

  2. im with you wheels. if someone cant effectively understand a msg that says an update was already done, and what that means, then watching a dvd while driving is probably a bit too much as well.

     

    if the update is for passangers follow the instructions by big to BYPASS the system.

  3. your right it is a little of both, I am totally with you on that.

     

    Working for a large company though also tells you that once you have any part it a situation.... you own that situation, it doesnt matter no more who signed what and blah blah.. fact is they did 'something' along the way that exposed them and made them liable. Their motivation is nothing to me or the public. And actually for all intensive purposes... its binding and acknowledgment they messed up and accept the responsibility. it doesnt matter what their motivation is/was, fact is its publically known they paid the full dollar amount that was demanded.not some partial payment and then forced the customer to prove why he needed new bolts and screws for such and such if they truly felt or knew it was a COMPLETE scam. Thats the cost of business, you better believe the manager/installer/employees involved will have a better sense of what to do/not to do next time if not from the experience itself but id surely bet there was some discussion with management and the people involved.. I use to work for circuit city as a manager of the roadshop, and that whole mess was outside of policy. Those are the urban legends they tell you about.

  4. which is taking responsibility.

     

    there is no way cc would pay out 10k + if they were in the right in any shape or form. a couple hundred, maybe even a thousand possibly.

     

    hopefully you dont assume that they were proper and justified throughout the entire transaction. Besides it wouldnt cost them a damn thing if they were right and did everything properly, they could seek damages from the vehicle owner.. and surely they have contemplated the outcome prior to settling and realize the impact settling will have.

  5. I think the estimate is inflated, but i think we all, if in a bad situation would expect 'new' equipment. Personally, even if the back of the speedometer was breathed on, id scream for a new one. but thats me. So settling for using the same screws, or letting a nicked up or scratched cup holder be is not my way.

     

    Of course the dealership cant prevent the owner from driving away, but when trying to bulster your case the dealer is a great friend to have on your side as opposed to say ray ray on the corner selling fake folex's.

     

     

    The kid is probably a wanker but regardless the shop shouldnt of done what they did, with or without a waiver or acknowledgement. they should of turned the job down period.

  6. xs, i wasnt really directing anything at you. more to the dude whom this all happened to. though he will likely not see it.

     

    also, thats not even a regular honda invoice. thats some side mechanic if anything. Honda has an official invoice that is the same througout their dealerships. not to mention its hand written, honda dealer wont do that.

     

     

    and if it was me, you damn right id get a new car outa it! regardless of the jacked up inflated bill, regardless if i signed a waiver, regardless. nothing excuses the installer, the manager for doing this job, nothing! we all know the dealer is a rip anyways, so dont be surprised when they are charging for new bolts and cup holders. thats expected since his car is jacked up, cc owns that car and every problem with it since they did the job. I agree the invoice is definitly questionable at the least but if it was me, id of posted the sales invoice for a new car and you can believe it or not but i woulda got it!

  7. bullshit!

     

    the customer i doubt is trying to pull an insurance scam. 12k in damage is more then just modding a dash to make a head unit fit. understand that !!!!

     

    not to mention honda not letting the vehicle be on the road, you (cc employee) aint getting away with saying "oh he signed a waiver and now tryign to jack cc...."

     

    He may very well have known there was modding going on, but it makes no sense that his brand new car would suffer such abuse with or without a waiver. the common sense should be on the side of the installer and manager to say... uh... what your asking is toooo extreme and cant be done, you dont have him sign some waiver that obsolves you of destroying his car. Also, i believe he mentioned z2 not z3, though the relative size is similar there is a difference in model numbers.

     

    Personally, if the hack job was so bad the installers shouldnt of done it, cc employees arent paid on commesion as an installer so money wasnt a motivating factor. Also the customer now sounds a little to laid back for being in that position, something doesnt sound straight there with him.
