May 8, [redacted] :We are writing this letter in response to the complaint that was received against our company from [redacted] We were aware of [redacted] 's issues and have attempted to resolve them with him (and his wife) prior to even receiving this notificationHowever, the customer's requests are unreasonable and unwarranted, and our attempts have admittedly been unsuccessfulPrior to receiving this complaint, we also received a very harmful review from the customer on [redacted] making accusations that we are not a small, local business friendly repair facilityWe have been in business for nearly years, and we have built our business around servicing the businesses in our local areaThe last thing we would do is act as though a small business is "above" us as we were accused by [redacted] and his wifeWe are members of this community and take much pride in being a part of itWe are very disconcerted by these accusations, but we cannot succumb to their requests simply to save faceIt is unwarranted, and we stand by that decision.To continue, I will move on to the information regarding these accusationsI have attached the only two bills that we have for [redacted] The first is dated 9/4/2015, and it is for $967.40, Though it is not a small bill, it is not nearly the $that is being claimed in the information that I received from youThe customer was contacted and informed that code [redacted] (for the sensor being bad) was activeThe customer told us to replace the sensorsWhen the truck left our shop, there were no active codesThe customer is claiming that the truck was not fixed in the original bill, but we never received the truck back in to rectify these complaints and no complaint of power loss was made at that timeIt is difficult for us to validate issues that are from over months prior to the current time.As for the second bill, the section of the bill that is applicable to the customer's complaint is Job B (Engine)The total for this portion of the bill is $plus taxThe entire bill was $5,as you will see attached, but there are a number of different repairs that were completed on the truckThe only applicable section for his complaint is Job B in which we were to check for engine light being onThe only active code that was found on the engine was [redacted] (water in fuel sensor circuit high)So, we changed the fuel filterThere were two stored codes in the engineStored codes are something that occurred previously in the engine but are not currently active [redacted] (turbo boost pressure not detected) and [redacted] (generator voltage sensor low) were the two stored codes [redacted] was likely due to a cold weather start and cleared when retestedWe replaced a boost sensor because of stored code ***We road tested the vehicle for about miles working the engine hard to operate all parts of the engine to maximum horse powerNo light returned during our road testWhen the customer picked the truck up, he left and code [redacted] came on againThe customer brought the truck back and we found that was the active codeOur shop foreman cleared the code and retested, it did not returnThe customer discussed that he was tired of the check engine light being on in his truck, but we found no codes to indicate that the turbo was the definitely an issueIt would have been imprudent for us to replace a turbo on a vehicle in which no active codes were indicating that to be the issueA new turbo for this customer's vehicle would run somewhere in the vicinity of $We were attempting to be conscious of the customer's wallet and are being accused of the exact opposite.This customer's vehicle is a [redacted] with a [redacted] in itWe are certified to do repairs on [redacted] engine but the [redacted] representatives will not give us warrantable issues on the engines in [redacted] vehiclesWe called and spoke with a [redacted] dealer in an attempt to get more information for the customer for his reoccurring engine light issue with code ***We were waiting on some answers when the customer actually made this complaint and posted the review on [redacted] We were also trying to verify if we could put a turbo in that wasn't labeled for a [redacted] product because it would have saved him a significant amount of moneyWe hadn't been able to fully verify this either before all of this went downWe were trying to help him, but I guess his wife and him saw it differently, [redacted] has an issue in these [redacted] with this occurringWe are not a [redacted] dealer, and therefore, we were not aware of this issueWe have (through research) now found that it is recommended by [redacted] to take the turbo apart and clean it for this issue rather than replace it.This customer did have a significant bill on his last visit, but the applicable portion to his complaint is not to the degree that one would find it appropriate for us to pay for a new turbo to be placed on his truck, especially when that is not what we have now learned is recommended to handle the issueThe maximum disputed amount would be the portion of the bill in Job B for the 4/17/invoiceWe did communicate with Jonathan regarding our findings while his truck was here for repairs and received his approval for the work that was completedWe realize that check engine lights are a frustrating problem, and we were attempting to do our best to assist this customerWe are very upset with the outcome of these events, but we do not feel that we did something terribly wrong to warrant his demandsThrough our many years in business, we have made mistakesWe have made them right when it was warranted, These demands are not fair nor are the accusationsThank you for your time in this matter,Sincerely, WBradley M

On two different occasions they never fully fixed my truckRivers went onto say in their statement that on the initial visit I never came back to rectify the situation, which is completely falseI did return, and all they did was clear the codes again and sent me on my wayThe light immediately came back after I left againAs I stated in my initial complaint I never returned after that per lack of funds and the necessity to use the truck Later, Rivers goes onto to say that there was no way to know that the turbo was definitely the issueI am no mechanic but if a diagnostic code, active or not, continually reads low turbo boost I would think it generally has something to do with the turboThe fact remains that when I scheduled the truck to be worked on the second time I told MrMcHugh on the phone, it needs inspection and I WANT THE TURBO REPLACED!!! The latter was obviously was never doneIf a light bulb burns out in your house you replace it don't you? You don't go to the breaker box and change a fuseSo if someone asks you to put in a new turbo you it and not go hunting for other issues Also, Rivers claimed they were "trying to be conscious of my wallet" 5,dollars is hardly being conscious of my wallet The fact remains that I am still driving a truck around with the check engine light onIt is frustrating, but what is more frustrating is the fact that Rivers was unwilling to work with me to "rectify" the situation and thinks I am the one being unreasonableI stopped communicating with them after I was told that there was no way they were putting a new turbo in for freeI paid 6,dollars now in total and am still having issuesHow much money would they like me to spend until they correct the issue? You would never pay a repair man to fix your broken down furnace only to find out it doesn't blow any air when they are done working on itSo I ask why would I pay a repair shop that amount of money for an incomplete jobFrankly, they are lucky I not asking for a full refundRivers even said so themselves the turbo was worth more then what I am even asking I am a very reasonable person but I do not appreciate the genuine disrespect and mockery Rivers is making of this situationI don't think I am asking for much in this particular situation other then to fix the issue at handThank you very much for your time [redacted] and have a great day.Sincerely, [redacted]
