what would you do/has this happend to you?
I was wondering if anybody has ever been in the same boat as me and what they did about it?
I had a shop (not mentioning names for legal reasons) do a b-series swap in my car last May. And now my tranny has a big chunk missing. I had the clutch done, by my trust worthy mechanic, a few months ago and he pointed out to me that one of the bolts were missing from the rear mount and that the holes didn't line up, but i figured if the shop who did the swap left it like this it must be ok, because what kind of shop would knowingly install something incorrectly?
So i confronted the shop who did the swap and they said that they weren't willing to do anything about it. I told them that all i wanted was a new tranny and the proper mount, which should have been used in the first place, and that i didn't want them to do any labour. I paid for the right parts but the right parts weren't used and now as a direct result of this my car can not be driven.:notfair:

Honestly I think its too late for you to do anything. The shop can and prob will say that you changed it. And whats to say you didnt......

Do you have before and after pics? Those and a lawyer are all you need. If not, then don't make that mistake next time.

Well thats what i figured. I've already filed a formal complaint with the BBB and the government of Ontario's Ministry of Consumer and Business Services.
It just sucks to pay a shop, who are professionals, to do a job and to use the right parts and they do it wrong, now i have to buy the right mount and a new tranny.

I paid 1200 usdm to put the motor in there and they said it was broken. Then they charged me a storing fee(75 per day). But then i toook it to another shop and a week later everything was all fixed for 400 more.
