What was wrong with your top?

that's about the right amount of time...has to be installed, fitted and tested and that takes time.

RoCKet · 01-17-2008, 02:27 PM

How long have you had the car? I'm just wondering what kind of warranty is on the top.

RoCKet · 01-18-2008, 05:14 AM

Well my honda tech said since its certified pre owned i get "manufacture defects fixed for the whole 100,000 miles

He said if i didnt it would be covered till 35k i believe. But on another note.... i called to see ETA on stewie and they said ANOTHER DAY! 5 days???? when i took it in he said it was 9 hoursby tech guides?>?>?>?

Rock, ya godda geddaway from how long it's takin' n' dwell on the "no-cost" aspect'uvitt.
Under warranty'z a great thing, but unfortunately, customerz with green in their hot liddle hands go to the head'a the class.
You, my friend, waitin' on your free top, will not be takin' your business elsewhere.

Hey Rocket!!!!!

Don't forget, it's not like the tech has done this job a zillion times....It'll likely take several hours more for him to complete the job.......but he'll still only get paid the 9 hours to do it. Flat rate can be a curse to a mechanic.

He also is likely being pulled off your job to do something else every couple of hours.......as I'm sure it's not the only car they have to work on in the shop. Rest assured, as a warranty job (a ballbuster one at that) it's not getting highest priority......Relax, be patient......it'll work out. I'd be edgy too, not having my Stewie in my posession. Remember, if you had to pay for this job-------big time $$$. The wait is worth the savings.
