Yes, things got very ugly in the end. The mechanic was met with employee issues and rain delays… yes rain, and weeks went by. We were promised deadline after deadline and excuse after excuse. We felt we were getting the short end of the stick so many times here and we had no choice but to get a lawyer involved. Good thing too.
When the final day came and we were to come settle up, the dealer wanted us to pay nearly $7000.00!! Remember, our agreed amount was $2000.00-2500.00 the amount above and beyond the cost of the used engine. I had it in writing! (text message)
It got very ugly, he said you can take me to court and I, very sternly, told him I will! I said, the RV can sit here at the mechanics yard, I will continue to make payments and I will see you in court! I said I’ve already spoken to a lawyer (which I had) and they felt we have ample evidence that he had failed to deliver and we were entitled to a full refund. He stormed out with a barrage of profanity and hostile gestures and then 30 minutes later he called me and left a message apologizing and stating that since I have it in writing, he will agree to cover all the additional costs!
It’s all done now. It’s still not right, but it’s gonna have to be good enough and we will sort out problems in the future.
Chalk it up to a life lesson on how to handle tough situations and when to stop throwing good money after bad.
I have intentionally left his name out of our blog and vlogs. Just stay away from RV dealerships in Mt. Pleasant S.C. If you need to know who the dealership was because you or a friend are shopping in this area, email me!
I have many videos up about this on YouTube.
