I have a two channel amp with a bad right channel. I took it to a local repair shop. They required that I pay, up front, an evaluation fee of $125.00. A week later they called and said that the repair would cost $325.00 plus parts plus tax. I agreed to the repairs. A week later I was told the repairs were complete and to pick up the amp. I paid the additional repair fees and took the amp home.
The amp was not fixed, I took it back they kept it about a month, they called said it was fixed. Well no luck, I took it back, they had it for another month, I went by and they said the tech had not had the time to look at it but he would by the end of the week.
Waited two weeks and I called, they said that it appears that they can not fix it. I asked what now, they said they could try again. Waited two weeks, I called they said they had not been able to fix it. I, again, what now. They said they might return some of the money but for sure not the evaluation fee. They still have the amp.
I feel that the full amount should be returned because the evaluation fee was to determine what was wrong and make the repairs if I approved. Since they have not fixed the problem than they did not evaluate the problem correctly and they therefore have been unable to make the repairs.
What say you. Should I insist on all of my money back? Or should I let them have the $125.00 if they return the $325.00 plus tax for the none repair. And what about the $25.00 in parts they claim they put in?
