Well about a month ago, I told you about how my car overheated and died in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia. Well today, I just mailed in the form to contest the charges at Firestone. I contested on two reasons. The first charge which was diagnostics, which told me to take the car to a dealer for an internal leak due to "a cracked engine block or bad head gasket." Terry and everyone all assured me this was not the case and I figured it was a plume of smoke being blown up my butt, so I took the car to a Ford dealership and all it needed was a coolant flush (which I knew) and brake pads (which I also knew). The second contestion comes from all work done after the inital diagnostic since I was not informed of what was being done to my car until after it had already been completed. The gentleman at the bank which backs my Firestone card told me I had a good case and to contest all the charges. Now it is just time to wait and see what happens. If all goes well, that is $164 that I will not have to pay to a useless "shop".

Just a little background, this is an even more unethical Firestone since it is located on a college campus.

Good luck dude! You have a very good case, because they DO have to notify you when they do work onto your car that you are unaware of. I just went through that with a service shop and I got all $892 back.

On a side note, my car is going back to the same shop for a different problem. Hopefully they wont do it again.
I have trust in people at first sight, they are the only ones that can ruin it.
