Please see attached invoice for the repairs ************* requested . The vehicle is 30 years old and requires much more work to be a vehicle that can be drove daily. ************* was told that the vehicle would be a project job and he agreed. He decided one day to pick up the car as is. We didn't do anything to the motor. Most of the work done was considered usual maintenance that was way behind and parts that were just wore out. We did not do anything to the transmission, according to ************* there is a transmission fluid leak as well. He did request a radio, dual exhaust mufflers and new carpet which was all done along with the other repairs.Initial Complaint

On October 12th 2022 ** **** did have repairs done to her vehicle but the repairs preformed have nothing to do with the warranty for the used motor assembly installed on Nov 21 2022 the mileage for the first invoice was 161907. The repairs on the first invoice is for right and left front axles, rear brake rotors and pads, exhaust cat converters and vvt solenoids. On Nov 21, 2022 ** ***** vehicle did require an engine replacement, as stated, had nothing to do with axles, brakes cat converters or solenoids. The mileage was at that time recorded again at 161907 which appears to be unchanged from the original invoice on October 12 2022. The 18 month unlimited mileage warranty states that the oil must be changed every 3 months or 3000 miles, whichever occurs first.
** **** brought in the oil change receipts but refused to allow us to copy them for the warranty co or even look at them. This is the first time we have seen the oil change receipts to review them. Ms Duke claims we had the wrong mileage of 161907. The first of ** ***** oil change receipt reflects the mileage to be 173,907 in march of 2023. this receipt reflects the vehicle to have 16,473 miles before changing the oil. The next receipt reflects mileage of 185245 this invoice reflects the vehicle drove 11,018 before changing the oil, keep in mind these are her receipts not ours. The next receipt reflects oil was changed at 190,858 which reflects the vehicle was drove 5,613. The next receipt reflects the mileage to be 190,858 the vehicle drove 2917 according to the last receipt that has mileage at 193,775 which is acceptable. When ** ***** car came in it had 205579 but there are no further oil change receipts which means the vehicle was driven 11,804. We have pictures of the current mileage and vin number for her vehicle. We were not able to present anything to the warranty company after she refused to let us look at her oil change receipts. ** **** picked up her vehicle and left.

First I have submitted some videos to show in my claim where he didn’t tell the truth 1. They stated that the miles on my car didn’t change when I brought it in a month later,I drove the car home and I live 5miles from the shop to which it was repaired so I know 5miles should have been on the speedometer plus they stated when I pick up my car they had taken it for a test drive so that should have been another mile or so. 2. They had not seen the oil change receipt until they was shown by you that two was a lie in another one of the video I had given them the receipts on a Monday waited a week still didn’t hear anything from them in another video you will see where we discussed the receipts because one he said was not the right miles then I went back and gave them the correction that was made on the pip receipt by the manager at Walmart and lastly they couldn’t tell how many miles I had driven because they intentionally wrote them down wrong he did this fraudulent so he wouldn’t have to fix the car if you listen to the video you can hear him discussing a warranty with another customer thanksBusiness Response

In order to start a warranty claim we have to gather, from the customer, oil change records. Oil change receipts provide proof that the customer took care of the engine as recommended. The receipts should confirm that the vehicle has not been running with old or LOW oil that can damage the engine. ** **** did bring the oil change receipts that she gathered at one point but would not give us the opportunity to look them over and make copies to present to the warranty company. She quickly took them back from the secretary when a question was asked. In response to how long the vehicle was there we explained to ** **** that the owner contracted Covid and was out for 10 days, all we could do was wait. We understand it was very frustrating for her. The owner has proof of the Covid diagnosis from his doctor. We apologize for the unpleasantries ** **** speaks of but in all fairness ** ****s husband was verbally abusive to the secretary and the owner. When the call was placed to the Sheriff the dispatcher could hear Mr Duke, when he was walking out the dispatcher told us to lock the door and do not let him back in until they arrive. ** **** did not leave the oil change receipts and had her vehicle towed from the shop, we were unable to diagnose the vehicle for warranty work.
