In a non warranty repair, you must pay for techs time even if he can't find a fault. If the car is under warranty, the tech is obligated to fix the problem. If the tech can't fix the problem then the tech must escalate. It is a well understood phenomenon that some problems are intermittent. So, the tech would need to do a lot more than just a single visit to conclude that there is no problem. If you can document the problem with pictures or a movie, or if you can reproduce the problem and show the tech, even if it takes more than one visit, then you can't be charged for the shops failure to repair a car under warranty. Again, if the car is not under warranty, then they can charge you for diagnostic time---even if it does not lead to repair. |

At most they usually just get driven around the block to make sure nothing is wrong. And most brake pad manufacturers don't suggest doing the above listed bed-in. Most just say to brake gently for the first 300-500 miles and actually avoid high speed, high heat stops during that time. Last edited by CirrusSR22; 12-14-2012 at 03:17 AM.. |
