I took my car to get the suspension fixed. Ive taken it to a place by where I live and it cost $102. (this was like a month ago). One of the parts that I had ordered ended up being defected, so it broke. I called the company that sent me the first one and they sent it out to me again. Only problem is that I was in a different city (2 hours away), so I have to get it installed there. They are charging me $220, to do the same work.
Do I have a right to be upset? My boyfriend was the one taking the car to the shop, and when I heard this I was very upset. I wasn't mad at him and I made that clear, I was just frustrated with the situation I was in. THEN he got all mad with me because I was angry??? WHY?? My anger had nothing to do with him, I was just expressing how I felt about it. Was I wrong? or should he have been more understanding? It is 100 dollars that I'm just throwing down the drain!

I have to say that your boyfriend was in the wrong here. If you made it clear that you were not angry with HIM then he did not have a reason to get angry at you for your response, we all have feelings and a right to express them! He absolutely should have at least listened to your venting, that's his job! Sadly, you probably have to deal with the price or take it somewhere else for a lower one; since they didn't do the original work they have no obligation to charge you anything different than they would anyone else. Good luck!

He's feeling guilty because he's the one who took the car to the rip off shop. But yes you have a right to be upset because you thought the repair would be the same price as before. Learn from this and never assume. Always ask for prices. Tell your boy friend you love him and your not mad at him. If he continues to be mad leave him be. He'll get over it.

First of all, it all depends how you expressed that anger. If as you said you made it clear you weren't mad at him, than I don't see why he should get mad with you for getting angry. You cannot control how you feel. Feelings are a part of being human. How you deal with those feelings is what's important. Now if you've said something while you were expressing yourself which would've made him mad, that's a different story otherwise there is no reason he should be mad at you for getting mad.

you are throwing away $220 by not going back to the first place to fix the poor job they did the first time. Whether it's you or your bf that takes the car in is beside the point... though you really should be a big girl and handle your own business.

He shouldn't be angry out you because of something hurting you that shouldn't be, especially when it has nothing to do with him. It isn't fair what happened to you because it isn't your fault and you have every right to be upset. He should be on your side with this one because your time and money is being wasted, and since you two are together, its his time and money too! Have a talk with him calmly and explain to him again. Then maybe he will rethink his action and understand where you are coming from, he really has no reason not to.

You should have gotten a written estimate before getting the work done, then haggle over cost then. Auto shops charge what they think they are worth. In this case, shop number 2 is more prowd of his workmanship by $100 dollars.

Maybe he felt bad that he couldn't do anything to fix the situation, and the frustration of being helpless caused him to lash out.
Just go apologize to him in case you offended him and explain why you were mad again. It's not worth getting into a fight over, especially since it's neither one of your faults.
Good luck!

He is... Are you taking the car to the same shop? Did the shop buy this part or did you let the shop buy it...?
If you bought the part yourself and took it to the shop to get it installed then yeah they have the right to charge you again...but if the shop was the one to buy the part, then the repair has to been warrantied by them and you should pay $0...
Good luck!!!

you shouldnt have yelled at him like you were mad at him! BUT, him being the guy should have tried to take care of the situation by going to this place and telling them exactly what has happened and that yall are getting shafted! Put the shoe on the other foot and look at it is if he was yelling at you for somthing someone else did. you would probably be like " what the hell, i didnt do anything" ya know?!

with u being upset about the situation u may have taken it out on your bf with realizing what u had done.. I dont think it is right for u to have to pay more for something that was defective. u arent throwing money away its just that they are trying to rip u off..
