The Pain, The Anger

[dirtybird82]

Well I've been TDY for a few months and just got back so guess I've recovered enough to share my pain with everyone. To make a long story short an idiotic mechanic wrecked my baby:bigcry:. She was overheating so I took her to the guy to fix it, why he decided to test drive her to see if it was still overheating????? I will never know, but I've moved on...not really I haven't but here it is, shield your eyes if you're sensitive lol.

O and sorry about the fuzziness on some of the pics, it was probably from me shaking I was so mad at the time.

P.S.

What kind of idiot did you turn your keys over to? Bigger question is he going to pay for fixing it?

Man that sucks. Sorry to hear about the damage to your MM.

You do have part ownership of the repair shop now ..... right?? ;)

[Black_Noise]

is he paying for it, what did he hit?

It doesnt look totaled, just alot of front end cosmetic damage.

[musclemerc]

I had the same thing happen at the dealer, but not as bad as yours

[TAKEDOWN]

I would be the new owner of that mechanic shop with 3 MARAUDER/s parked in front!

I'm sure glad I'm a member. I'll definitely keep you in mind for parts. I'm sure Ray Sr. "TheDealer" and others could play a major role in parts for ya.

[bigmerc2003]

Holy ****zzznet! WTF did he do? I would have killed him and turned him into a car bra! That is insane but god speed to the quick fix. That is a terrible thing to have happen. Best of luck to you:eek:

[rayjay]

You gotta be kidding me. What did he do? Thats a dirt blanket offense if I ever saw one. :shake:

[jdando]

OMG, lets hope the mechanic has good insurance. Good luck getting her fixed.

Wht he said!!

[Peace2Peep]

Dude...I know you're still mad and stuff...but that really makes the story a great read. Please tell us the whole episode, inquiring minds NEED to know how this went down and how you restrained(or didn't) yourself, as well as what are your next steps and courses of action.

What dealership and where?
When?
How did they explain it?
What is their solution?
Who's on docket to fix it?

and more!

[Egon Spengler]

Wow... I just joined the f-ed up marauder club... only mine was my own stupidity... they better be fixing it and you better have a rental that they are paying for!

[tjg442]

MERCURY DEALER !! TAKE IT IN, GET LOANER, TELL THEM YOU WANT IT DONE RIGHT, CALL YOUR AGENT, GET BETTER PICS ? AND LET US KNOW HOW THIS TURNS OUT. ALSO THE NAME OF THE FUNERAL HOME THIS IDIOT IS GOING TO BE LAID OUT IN !!!!!! THIS REALLY SUCKS !! SORRY FOR YOU.....:bigcry:

[gate500gr]

geez... and I thought my shop screwed me. :shake:

[Black_Noise]

whats the story behind this already?????

[DOOM]

He doesn't seem to be answering any of your questions. :confused:

[dirtybird82]

To answer everyone, I almost did kill him when i first saw the damage, no lie, that's why I had a friend drive me to see the damage. My insurance is in the process of suing the :censor: out of him and his whole little operation. Due to the damage and whatnot and since the air bag did deploy they totaled the car, which I was "upset" about. According to most estimates I received over here in Germany the cost to fix it was averaging around 17,000...

So in short I have one word of advise if you're in the military, don't take your baby overseas because idiot mechanics will wreck your :censor:.

O and AAFES sucks, you didn't here that from me though.

p.s.

First he rear ended another car and ended up in a ditch and pretty much destroyed the axle. Any other questions I'll answer, but yea I am looking again for a replacement :(.

[bigmerc2003]

Best of luck to you, anyway you can buy-it back from the insurance and send it back home to the states? When you get home hopefully you could repair it. Either way so sorry to hear of your loss.

[a_d_a_m]

My insurance is in the process of suing the :censor: out of him and his whole little operation.

What kind of operation are we talking about here?
A dealer?
Fix-'em-up shop?

[dirtybird82]

I don' know just yet. Had to send in a check back to my bank in the states since I was still paying on the car. Once I hear back from them I can go from there.

[rayjay]

That really blows, PM sent.

If you can purchase the car back Im sure I know some people at Spang that might take some parts off your hands. Let me know what you will be able to do with it and we can go from there.

[justbob]

I couldn't imagine buying it back AND shipping her home, doesn't sound cheap. But then again i've owned my baby five years now and cost wouldn't matter to me.

It's worth the effort... HELL, we made it on the collectors list, I think!?!

[2,4shofast]

Just checkin to see if you have found out your options for buy back etc? My friend at Spang is very interested in the car, thanks.
