I want my money back

Lo (not "low") and behold - another illogical gimme grab.

$500 - from where did you pull that figure?

Oh... never mind; I can figure it out.

"I could not bring the car back to their dealership because I had
taken enough time coming back and forth to their dealership to have my
car fixed"

Uh... change that to "I WOULD not". You could have; you chose not to.

I'm calling shenanigans here. One mechanic left a socket wrench under
your hood (how would you not have noticed that when you picked the car
up?); and yet another at a different dealer left plastic?

Bullpiles on a rainy field. Methinks you're an opportunist looking to
turn something inconvenient into something lucrative.

Ohh i'd see a doctor about that burning sensation... could be a
symptom of something serious... of course i'm not being serious. From
what i can tell (and not knowing the model year of the car) from the
letter, you're expecting 379.41 plus 500.00 because some plastic bag
you drove over stuck to the hot bits of your cars underside...causing
a burning sensation and fumes? And you got a complementary socket
wrench alreday? I'd take away about 800 bucks and some change from
your expectations then subtract 79.00 for asking for your money back
when you got your car fixed and didn't check the work before leaving.

Nice try though.

Um, the exhaust system isn't under the hood -- it's under your car, as
in muffler and tailpipe. Sounds to mas like you DID drive over a
plastic shopping bag.

You need to get over this. I don't think they owe you anything at
all. You should apologize to THEM for being such a rude customer
making demands about things when you don't seem to know even the first
thing about auto mechanics.

Hey stupid redhead with glasses we want help not critisism. Find
something else to do with your free time.

Chevrolet, the ones who made your car, have no control over the work
done by the dealership, which is an independent business, not owned by
Chevrolet.

If you want Curtis Chevrolet to pay for the correction at another
dealership, you have to take that up with them.

If you look at the check or credit card receipt, I can guarantee you
it doesn't say "pay to the order of "Chevrolet".' The dealer
collected the money, they would have to cover the repair.

Good luck on the $500. I'd love to know how you came to value
'endangering' your life at $500.

Hahahahahahahaha! You want $500.00 for endangering your life! People
who take the time and money to go to court wouldn't get $500.00 for
that!

Plus I don't actually see anything in your letter indicating that your
life was in danger. Not that it couldn't have been as I'm not a car
mechanic and I have no idea what could happen from leaving plastic
around the exhaust. I'm simply pointing out that you didn't feel that
"life endangerment" was important enough to point out specific
instances just important enough to ask for...::laughs::...$500.00.
