The mechanic I used my whole life unfortunately passed away a few years ago...he was the best. Always had my back, wouldn't let me buy a used car unless the seller agreed to let him look at it.
But I have no sympathy for this particular dealership anymore. When I refused to take the car without fixing the spring, they said I could negotiate with my insurance and sent me a quote for $1200 - $680 for the spring repair and then a bunch of services I didn't ask for.
If I hired painters and they broke a window, I'd expect them to pay for it, too
I’m sorry to hear that. He was definitely one of the few out there.
But yea I agree with your argument against the dealer. They’re just hoping you go away. If you’re loud and persistent enough it should be fixed by then. Especially if your adjuster starts to flex their legal department.
It’s quite possible the dealer will sub contract it out if they do take the repair job.
