Per earlier post, picked up from shop today. Drove to work, running great. Driving home, running great although I notice volts reading less than 12v, temp gauge not working.
Almost home, a few blocks away. Going down hill. Huh, did engine cut out. Why, yes it has. Turn key. It cranks but no start. As if no spark or no fuel. Coil feels quite hot if that matters. By side of road now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |

I agree that with the bill you just paid, they should sort this out no questions asked. And NO BILL! You do know these cars are 40+ years old, right? Hi Mark. I didn't mean to imply that people shouldn't be paid for their work on cars that need constant attention. And, Chris...you are absolutely right that this issue is likely unrelated to the repairs. But that bill was definitely fat and Amphicar paid it with no pushback. If it were my shop, I'd recognize that this was a customer I'd want to keep happy, and with less than 50 miles on the odometer on the heels of a big bill, I'd fix a simple thing like a bad coil gratis. Or maybe just for the parts cost. Pretty sure you guys would, too under the same circumstances. But, then again, neither of you would've submitted a bill like that in the first place! |
