ShangoAshe needs your help... (2005 S55 AMG)
So recently I went on a Mustang Dyno and I had some issues with the shop.
The shop operator did not tie down my car correctly on the dyno, he ended up strapping my car by chains incorrectly. After tightening it and letting my car roll on the dyno it pulled out my links. After the links popped out, my car pretty much got slammed onto the dyno (while rolling). We were wondering why my car was so low on the dyno... But during all the confusion the operator continued to let my car roll on drive whle on the dyno...
In the end the exhaust was pushed on to the Axle and Driveshaft and pretty much bored out 3 holes in my custom exhaust.
The shop denies any resonsibility since they said it is not their responsibility to know where to strap the car.
Some of the parts can be fixed and maybe salvaged but in the meantime I need the following parts...
1.) New Drive Shaft
2.) Inner CV Joints Bearings (By the rear axle) x2
3.) Boot Kit (Comes With Retainer Kit, Axle Bolts, Nut, etc..) x2
If anybody here can help me out with the parts it would really help me out.
I just want my car to be fixed first then I'll deal with the legal issues after instead of having things stalled.
At the moment I priced everything out at the dealership...
1.) $1800
2.) $510 each (x2)
3.) $100 each (x2)
Everything has to be ordered from Germany...
Thanks everyone and I hope I can get this issue sorted out soon.
Cheers
