wanna see why im suing les schwab??

[JanMarie13]

My ex fancy-pants neighbor went through 3 Mercedes and one day when he was standing there while it was in the shop yet again, he was looking across the street at the Honda dealership.  While he was waiting for his Mercedes to be worked on, he walked across the street and traded it in on a new Honda CRV.  Told the Mercedes dealer when it finally works right they can drive it right across the street and drop it off.  He couldn't be happier!

I know this story would have been happier if he drove off in a 4Runner, but still, you get the point.

schwaby is famous around here for not tightening the lug nuts,one of my friends made it 150 miles then saw his rear wheel proceeding him down the freeway

[crawlerdan]

oh yes, import luxury cars are expensive to maintain, espesially european cars.


i had a 64 benz limo in high school- paid 2k for it and it needed 5 k  in repairs...so i sold it immediately

[crawlerdan]

i wouldnt be suprised if this costs schwab 20gs by the time its done

we will end up getting close to 10 for the car
rental car is now 67.00 a day times 40 days or do in the end= 2680.00
and storage is 50 a day about 40 days in the end= 2000.00
pay the body shop to tear down and inspect=anout 2 k


retards are dragging thier feet and its adding up


i did however get Phil Wicks (CEO) personall phone number today and may give him a call.
i think they are pissed im a former employee and know all the tricks

 Our local Les Schwab installed a lift on a brand new ford they must have been hacks, cause one day the front end fell apart totaling the truck. Not only did their install suck but it also put peoples lives in jeopardy!

[toybuilt]

I hate les schwab, they all suck Oh yeah, I work at one and I get screwed over every day! I've seen so much go on there for the last 3 plus years that I've been there it would give people heart-a-tacks!

i worked at a Cooper Tire for 3 months... and yeah it would make the common guy, DIE if he only knew what really went down... so now i like to watch the work being done... and if they dont like it, i dont have my done there. i go elsewhere.

[Cheesemaker]

Old Les Schwab employees know how to screw them back!     I do it all the time!

i have worked @ wheel works and america's tire comapny. i may be working for anotehr service center tsoon too.

i know the tricks, and what can go on in an automotive repair environment...

i can comment that america's tire company has a very good reputation for taking care of things and doing it right. if they damage something, they will make sure it gets taken care of

i just called the corporate office, asked if the lady handeling my claim was in. they said

yes, whos calling??

daniel benoit.....


oh...um....she just went home...and wont be in tomarrow....

[THK Matt]

yeah right
id call back say you want to talk to someone
or tell them its court time.

[skipnrocks]

I have had that happen then I call back and ask for the person by name and then make up a name when they ask who you are and its fun when you get ahold of that person when they are "gone for the week"  Its all a tactic to get you so frustrated you will give up and take the crap they offer..  I know the feeling dont let em win!!  If they do it any more just tell them you will see them in court and I bet you get a call!  and if not just take em to court.  I found out in my case that alot of states recognize the small amounts that companies screw people so if you can get it under consumer protection the court can grant you 3 times what your asking just to make sure it was worth your wile to file!

[skipnrocks]

By all means you belong in my club then,  I pesterd a bankrupted company so much they found my money and returned it.!!!

[Cheesemaker]

Go Dan, Go! 

They only have two options! 
1 ~ fix the car
2 ~ give you what the car is worth


Do you still have some old connections at the store you worked at?  Try those if you do!

[Brenjen]

It should be an open & shut case, just go ahead & contact a lawyer that offers free consults & give them the go ahead to sue...it'll never go to court; all it'll take is a phone call & that letter. They'll settle up; they have insurance for that very reason & if theirs lapsed for some reason during that time LOL....you just got a share in a local Les Schwab.

[jimbo74]

you just got a share in a local Les Schwab.

haha, he wants his car fixed.... don't think he wants any share of les schwab... because a share means you also accept it's liability

[skipnrocks]

Oh and I found out that if you win consumer cases they almost always have to cover your attourney costs, and almost never would you have to cover theirs win or loss!!  I would hire a lawyer if I were you, usually they can get you more anyways.

[kneedownnate]

That from a guy who's currently getting hosed by a lawyer

Yea yea, turns out my lawer is really good!   After he gets started.  I tried to replace him and every attourney I talked to said he is one of the best in town and to be patient cause he will get it done faster than anyone else.  So I got patient and hopefully I will have my rig back here in a few weeks.

I got a finger fer U guys but ill keep it hidden cause I promised mrs. wooleymammoth!!   

[Cheesemaker]

Yeah, I am #1!!   

That's what my wife keeps telling me!

does she say your special too?

[Rocksurfer]

When I've had issues with a company in the past and all of a sudden the contact within the company always seems to be out of the office when I call I just become someone else a few minutes later. Then once on the phone I ask the person that was my contact to connect me with their supervisor, and let him/her know what their employee is doing.

[Cheesemaker]

does she say your special too?

All the time!!

[crawlerdan]

its been settled, i win
