CivEX Ripped Mainstream Performance off..............

[Vteckidd]

i dropped my 91 civic si off at mainstream to have a tranny installed... they did the work, but things happened that made it hard for me to get the car when it was ready... yall know how it is when you tryin to do stuff the rite way... gonna always run into brick walls... wanted to do a part now, part later but they didn't do that... so i was forced to let the car go... didn't want to... i knew that if i paid part now, part later, i could drop off a lil bit every week, and hopefully have it paid off in less than a month... but like most shops, they were continuously adding the storage fee... until it was like almost 3000 bucks... well, i don't blame them for my loss... i just wish that they would've have gave me a chance to do a weekly payment plan... or atleast taken the half now, half when i pick it up... then i would've still had my car... but hopefully it went to worthy person... there wasn't a whole lot special about it, but it was mine... and i had big plans for it... i'm gonna continue to keep in touch with Mainstream just because of the work that i've seen them do... but in the future, i think i'll just pay for the work upfront... that way, i'll know that it's taken care of... and i won't have to worry about life's obstacles making it hard for me to pay my debts...

Your Civic SI was dropped off October 2005. Your tranny had a bad differential. We quoted you a replacement tranny an install. We did the work.

3 months go buy with no payment, no contact, etc. At this time you wanted to come get the car for the original bill. Charles said you had to pay the $15 a day storage bill which added up to $2xxx. He told you that if your brought $700 by that friday, hed waive the rest of the storage bill.

we never heard from you again, you PMed me saying we could keep the car, i applied for a title for it, got it, parted the car out an junked it.

Sorry it turned out that way, but we are a BUSINESS, we have to make money any way we can within reason. Im sorry you lost your car, but put yourself in our shoes. We did service to a car an never (even to this day) got paid for it. We have to recoupe our losses somehow.

damn. even parted you probably still didnt get what the original bill was for. Funny thing is (ive worked at two shops before and still work at one of them part time) but if ANYTHING would have happened to their car, they would hold YOU responsible for it even though the car shouldnt even be there.
