Arsehole mechanic put in the wrong engine mounts
Posted: Mon Sep 13, 2010 1:51 pm
I had my car serviced a year ago and my arsehole mechanic changed my two bottom engine mounts, He charged me $300 each which is how much it would cost if i was to buy them from mitsi Australia so i didn't think it was necessary to check to make sure he put the right ones in.
However the engine has been moving around a lot lately when shifting so i took a look at them and the parts they used are Boonma Mounts part numbers 4551 and 4552 which has on the label its for a Mirage CE 4g15 96 - 00 Model. From memory though the mounts looks the same but there is a 1mm difference so although they work at first they quickly wear out.
So am i able to take the car back to the mechanic and get them to fix it up free of charge even though it's been a year? Or should i just make a complaint to some government department
Or has anyone kept there worn out mounts that i can buy off them or donate and then i'll just replace the inserts??
