Hi everyone, since i can't write bad words here cause the webmaster will cut my message is difficult to make you understand how angry i am. Well to the point in the last revision of my coolant system, they broke my radiator, obviously the denied at all, and i do not have any probes to demostrate they did it, so i will have to pay. My radiator is plastic made so they say it can't be repaired, is this true? cause it cost around $600 usd, and i do not have this money by now, what can you tell me. Alex.

I knoww what you mean. Mechanics never take responsibilty for stuff that they break. They always say it was already broken.

My father owns a shop and we've been in business for 41 years. The few things we've broken we have always fully taken care of out customers. This is how you stay in business, and have so many loyal customers as we do. So do me a favor and don't generalize the entire industry just because of a bad dealing you had with somone. Thanks, Brad

Don get mad, is just a way to say that. And by the way, how could we demonstrate something a mechanic broke? How do you, in your shop, accept something you did? Cause our cars are not new, and when we take it to the mechanic usually we have parts that maybe are close to fail, but maybe not. Regards Alex

No, mechanics DO take responsibility when something broke as a result of their work. But, many things are in poor condition to begin with and are on the brink of breaking, any service work done could cause it to finally fail. This is not the fault of the technician. I run into this all the time. But, given the past recent posts regarding the particular shop, I wouldn't be surprised if they did have something to do with the radiator breaking. As for repairing the radiator, there's no way that can be done.

Plastic radiators can be repaired by a shop that knows how to do it right. I seen some repaired and eventually fail do to high temps and pressure. There is a shop here in my town that specializes in plastic radiator repair. My father in law had to have his done in his truck, and no problems for over 2 years now. And a funny thing is....They have a big sign with thei name on it, and underneath it, their "saying" is..."Best Place In Town To Take A Leak!" Pretty funny... I would recommend getting a new one though. You're gonna wait until your friend comes down in October to do it!!!!??? Bummer...You won't be able to  til then.
