I think the point is missed. It takes the same amount of time for both parts. Saying they have to charge just because it is an aftermarket part is BS... That is like saying we have to charge more to wash you car because you wheels are 19" instead of the standard 18.

Maybe if the dealer did not say this to him, he would feel comfortable coming in the future to have things done. It is a 2 way street. Whenever I have found dealers to overlook parts, I have continued to use them throughout the lifetime of my car (if i did not feel like doing the work myself).

 

They're simply following instructions in a Mitsubishi TSB guide. If it deviates at all, if the bolt is slightly different, or the clamp is slightly different, they're no longer following the Mitsubishi guide.

If Mitsubishi is paying them X for the warranty work, and they're doing X + or - Y, some dealerships will want you to pay. And some won't, if they like you, or you have a working relationship with them, or the manager is your dad, or you gave them head prior to the install.

Hell, when I took my car in, they mentioned I had *REMOVED THE PLASTIC COVER*. I was like, why yes, yes I did. Clearly, my dealerships sucks, and I hate them.

 

understood.

 

The real problem is that Mitsu probably pays them just enough to eat and not enough to make any money. That was true when I was a computer repair field tech doing warranty work and I have no doubt that it is true with cars. Spending a few extra minutes on any significant percentage of customers really can pose a problem.

 

Im afraid to take mine to the dealer because I dont want my warranty voided. I need to do the Cold weather and sensor Recall

 

slip the guy a 20, problem solved

 

+1

 

Its called having the right tools. You use a torque wrench on your t-bolts clamps? I highly doubt it. I work on cars for a living not just a hobby, I have every wobble head ratchet and socket ever sold.

 

Very true. You need to contact corporate and make scene on the phone, then call the dealership and ask for the name of the person who made that judgement call. If they ask why, tell them your Attorney needs to know who to name in your lawsuit. You'll get results by calling corporate without scarring the isht out of them. But they definately deserve to squirm for being scum. Plus they'll probably end up kissing your ace afterwards. Ufck the dealership, that's basically what they said about you.

 

BRO!! they CANNOT deny a RECALL ISSUE , go back there and or go to another dealer. And id deff call someone about this dealer because they cannot deny you a Mitsubishi issued Recall.

 

bull

 

wow thats a bunch of BS. how can they decline you in recall wtf. i hope it doesnt happen to me, but if it does, ill get to corp and make sure im taken care of

 

My dealership did my recalls all at the same time... in about an hour... with all my mods on the car. I'd go to another dealership if I were you.

 

Call Corporate. They still say no, get a lawyer, can't afford one? pm me.

 

my dad works at mitsu so they changed his there, and then 5,000 miles later the idiot that changed mine didnt record it, so when i took my RA for an inspection, they changed it AGAIN, lol go firgure? and i had an intake and HKS SSQV installed, some of these techs are redic.
