Sam Walton did not show up in court.
Objection your honor. Unsubstantiated speculation. Move to strike.
No, just asserting my consumer right.
Sam's associate messed up my tire stubs with power tools.
OK, I messed up the axle and rotor when replacing them.
But I did not charge them for the parts, just the labors.
Sam's manger did not listen to me either.
Thanks,

If you are talking about the "studs" that are attached to the rotor,
Yes, they stripped three out of four studs. Probably too lazy to hand
thread it, just power jam it in.
their mechanics did same thing to our minivan and left only three lug
nuts holding on the tires on each of the front sides. They did sort of
mention it, (as if it were an existing condition) real baffoons! We
needed brake work anyway so I had a reputable brake shop replace the
studs.
But you don't need to remove the axle nut for brake work. After
breaking the torque wrench, I had to grind out part of the axle and
nut with several titanium bit stems. The bits did not last more than
a few seconds, but the stems grind out the harden nut and axle
slowly. I eventually got it out, after ruining the drill as well.
The axle nut is not supposed to be reused. So, the $10 nut, $10 cap
and $3 pins are parts added to the $40 stubs. I am not including the
axle and rotor, since a good mechanic would not have damaged them.
But a good mechanic would not have damaged the stubs in the first
place. A simple tire replacement ends up with axle, rotor and ball
joint replacements.
In the case of bad mechanic vs. bad mechanic, the defendant did not
show up. The bad mechanic and non-lawyer plaintiff did not file the
proof of service properly. The court ordered to reschedule the case.
Plaintiff offered to drop the case.
I hope you can collect on your claim. Winning the case is only
the start of the battle.
Oh yes, the defendant mailed a check a week before the court date.- Hide quoted text -
In my younger days, I owned a 1970 Plymouth Barracuda (w/440 & Dana
rear) and the wheel lug nuts on the driver's side had reversed
threads. Poor technician was out there for 30 minutes trying to get
the wheels off with an air impact wrench!! He finally came in and
apologized that he just couldn't help me because he couldn't get the
tires off....!!
I don't know what happened. But I am sure it was inexperienced
technician with impact wrench, and "more power, said Jim". The Summon
and Compliant got to their regional manager and perhaps higher. I
hope they would review their procedures, rules, policies and
trainings. It might save their future customers. But again, they
might just pay it off after the fact, once in a while.
