My car wasn't starting 2 weeks ago. I towed it to the local mechanic and he fixed it. He said the battery terminals were just corroded and he cleaned them and the car started normally. Now, 2 weeks later the car is not starting anymore. There is a 90 day warranty on the work, but I have to tow it in to the garage again (which will cost me another $60). Should he be responsible for paying the tow fee?

First of all, if your post were corroded, then the battery you had was cheap and for another 10 dollars you could have had a Brand new battery and I wouldn't be answering this Question. Plus he was just fixing a situation that will get worse unless you replace it. So just go get a new battery and put it in yourself and call it a day.. As for the sixty dollars, just call it stupid tax, I've payed it a few times myself.....

There are some places that pay for that but he is not legally responsible for that. If this happens again (your car being faulty again with the same problem), by law of faulty service, you may sue him for all charges involved and the judge my find you a new mechanic for free.

do not enable him chortle it off, a dumbazz 'oops' like which will heavily damage your engine. except this goober is a few color tree dude you mom is regularly occurring with of who did the artwork in his again backyard, the shop he works in is to blame for any damages incurred because of the stupidity of their workers. So, if mom's automobile now runs in yet in a distinct way, sluggish and sluggish, or something adjustments like smoke out of the tailpipe from a stoplight, unusual oil intake = engine damage. yet you should have documentation of the reason (stupidly left followers unplugged) to sue the shop. in case you've not executed so already, change the engine oil genuine quickly because the stuff in there has been toasted with assistance from the overheating journey and could no longer do as strong a job because it ought to. in case you scent of the dip stick and the oil smells fairly nasty & burnt, then change it. Overheating will reason all sorts of damage, blown head gaskets, oil leaks, coolant leaks, damaged radiator, blown hoses.

No he is not. I'm assuming he tried to remedy your problem in good faith and very little profit on his part. You should have triple A or another roadside service, that's part of your responsibility not his. Sounds like he might be one of the few honest mechanics Why burn this bridge??
