Damn Porsche Dealer, They broke something Options

[dralf]

I am a bit upset with the local Dayton Porsche dealer. Last fall I spent $500 to get the car aligned. They did little to get it back into specs and told me to take it to a body shop if I wanted the car to be closer to factory tolerances. I thought OK, good enough for me since I did get a nice smile from their attractive receptionist.

Well, now that I have been under the car working on the alternator something catches my eye. On the drivers side trailing arm the clowns broke off a bolt ! I have enclosed a pic of the crime. My frustration is that months have passed since the dealer worked on it and so it would be their word against mine. I also know they would not hesitate in telling me some lie for they stiffed a third party who initially purchased the shim pack to do this alignment.

My problem now is what do I do to repair the damage ? I have only had bad luck with EZ-Outs. They break off and then you have a piece of harden steel it the way. Any suggestions ? I am reluctant to take the other two bolts out for I suspect that will alter my expensive alignment.

youv;'e been fucked by the dealer. $500 for an alignment that they tell you a body shop could do better? What the fuck is that about??? You spend $500 and they tell you it can be done better by someone else. Hell I would have not paid them at that point,a dn pulled my car out.

Water under bridge, teh money was paid. Now it appears you have evidence that they maybe did not even align the car. Them bolts must be lossened to make alignment adjustment in rear. One head broke, and the others show no sign of being loosened. I would assume they broke the first one and then stopped. How about a phot of the other side, and also the front bolts heads that are used for alignment?

I'd take tehm to small claims court. i bet you'd win, on grounds they did not alignt eh car,a dn left your car in a dangerous condition to drive (what if the other two bolts go???)

Sue for the $500 back they did shoody work,a dn they should have stopped torqueing them rusted bolt before it failed,a dn instead used heat or penatrating oil in an attempt to free them. Porcshe i thought had highly trained mechanics, looks like grease monkies instead.

Chances are you will win in court, the Porsche dealer may not even show up for $500, and you will win by default. Also contact teh better bussiness group in your area, contact Porsche of America corporate headquaters, and maybe your state dept of comsumer affairs if you have one.


This type of rip off shit really burns me up. disgusting.
