If I had the stealership do a TB job on my TT, how do they usually handle payment?

Is this something that you can setup as a payment plan or do they expect 100% up front before you get your car back?

I have an extended warrenty and am not all too worried about it, I'd just like to know before / if anything happens. My car is reaching the 75k mark.... still running great; except I have to clean my MAF and fuel senders.


Let me know - thanks!

 

Your car will run great until the TB snaps.

My dealer holds your keys until the service is paid in full.

 

okay.

i'm not looking forward to the TB issue at all. in fact, it kind of bugs me; as i'm sure it does other people.

thanks for the info.

 

Why not just order a kit and have a indy shop install it? Its about $500 cheaper that way. Also you should make sure that the warrenty covers the TB snap since i have seen others not.

 

trust me, it sucks! mine decided to go out while i was passing a car on the highway the other day... its not fun, i am sad and lonely without my little one

 

Not sure its legal for them to hold your car, unless you signed something agreeing to that. Thats a lot of collateral for the work done. Maybe it they wanted to just hold your rims or something.....

 

shopscan a do hold cars until payment is recieved. If they are not paid they can put a mechanics lein on it and own the car. the dealer or a indy shop shouldnt charge until the car is complete.

 

Maybe you could do it yourself. If you have a some tools. I did mine and it was not all that difficult. it just took a while. There are several good write ups out there that could help you.

 

I'd like to do it myself but I don't have a garage or driveway to work on my vehicle.
I haven't lived in Dallas for very long; still trying to settle in.
