question for anyone that has tried to fight the dealer on the cost of a repair. Long story short I got an oil change and tire rotation today, they come out after the tire rotation to tell me I need a “broken” lug bolt replaced for $80. They didn’t end up having one in stock so I have to return tomorrow to get it fixed. I looked at the bolt when I got home, clearly not broken. It’s stripped. I would like to think they would own their mistake but they won’t. Do I have any sort of argument here? Or do I just eat the $80. It could be worse, but it’s more the principle of it. they can’t even put a lug back on it so I have 4 on that tire until tomorrow. It’s a 2016 explorer so their “age” excuse just doesn’t work for me.
Just wondering if anyone has any experience in dealing with this. First issue I’ve had with a dealer, thankfully.
