I took my car in to get waterpump and thermostat replaced as waterpump was leaking and they said its best to change thermostat ...
anyhow i got a call saying they had snapped a bolt trying to take of thermostat ...
Am I going to have to pay for them spending an extra hour or so removing the bolt ?
I was told $280 all up but make it $300 to be on safe side and thats all the money have put aside ...
I know the thermostats are a pain in ass to remove on the s1 engines as its at the back behind throttle body and if these bolts are known for being a pain to remove then shouldnt this mechanic know this ?
I just dont think I should have to pay for someone who should have turned thoses bolts back and fourth slowly to remove ...
This mechanic is wel known and has a few guys working there so its not like I went to some nobody .. these guys are Nrma aprroved and MTA members ..
your thoughts ?
