AA just ran well in excess of $1,000 over budget on my 914. I dont dispute the necessity of the work or the pricing of the work. However, they went way too far when I told them to what my budget was. The official company line is this was a "misunderstanding".
In all candor, Shon and Daniel in the shop were great to work with. Shon got put in the middle between George and I when George suddenly dropped the problem on his lap. AA fooled me once on bad customer service. Now they fooled me twice. Shame on me for trusting them. Never again! To keep a potential flame war off the site, PM me if you're interested in the story.

I'm still mad at AA for getting those 914/6 heat exchangers I need off this site before I could, but having said that I think they have a much stronger case here, and I've spent many years writing estimates for car repairs.
If you don't want to pay $175 for a used type 4 fan then spend some time here or on E-bay finding a cheaper one and fix it yourself-oh wait, maybe that's not such a good idea since you are the guy who drove it around with a pair of pliers lodged in the blades with no 1st gear and seemed unclear on the concept that really crappy unmaintained (how the hell do you bust a rocker stud?-with the wrong fasteners, apparently!) 914s that need a nearly complete restoration will cost you a buttload to fix if somebody who knows what they're doing does the work-and will cost you even more if the work is done by someone else. AA seems to have done a decent job of making it drivable without doing any un-needed work, so enjoy the ride and file a lawsuit against someone else to pay for it. Phil |
