    Status:
    Answered
    on May 17th 2023 I dropped off my echo eg3500 generator for warranty repairs with dixie . the engine was running fine but one of the outlets was not operating and a choke lever on the carburetor was broken and needed replacing . they kept the generator for months never calling me to let me know what was happening . I called them after a few months and they told me they tested the outlets and they were working fine ( they were not ) and told me they had a carburetor on backorder . a few more months go by and I called them to ask about it . they told me the engine was locked up and echo would not cover warranty repairs . then they tried to blame me for why the generator was not covered . today Is Sept 13th 2020 and I just went and picked it up. the engine is totally locked up and won't even turn over or run , nor is there any evidence that any work at all was performed . like I said when I dropped off the generator it was in good running order besides the issues I had mentioned that were minor and did not effect the way the engine ran . when I picked it up it was not running at all , they tried to say I needed to pay for a new engine because echo wouldn't cover it and they tried to blame me for destroying the engine . they couldn't check the outlets or do any other testing if the engine wassnt running when I dropped it off to them so i basicly caught them in a lie . they are lying about all this and the owner was **** and condecending and stated "can't help you" and hung up the phone on my wife . my wife can attest that it was running when I dropped it off , I dont like being blamed for things I didn't do and I don't like when businesses don't honor their warranties and try to Weasel out of the repairs and I definitely don't like dropping off a running generator only to pick it back up in worse condition than when I dropped it off . this is by far the worst purchase/dealing with a company I've ever had in my life and I feel I've been wronged .

    I was directed by ********** to bring my string trimmer, which was working perfectly fine to this point, in for a warranty recall service. The authorized servicer near me is Dixie Auto. Upon receiving my unit back from them after the recall was completed, and I was on a job, I discovered the device no longer worked. They took it back and said the carburetor needed to be adjusted, but they needed to order the special tool. After 2-3 weeks, I complained that it was taking so long. About an hour after that I get a call saying they just replaced the carburetor. When I balked at paying for the replacement, when all it needed was adjusting, they removed the new carburetor and gave me back my now nonfunctional device, minus any carburetor at all.I took this issue to **********, who reached out to Dixie Auto, who full on lied about the sequence of events that unfolded. They stated that they tested the device after completing the warranty recall, and discovered the carburetor needed to be replaced. This is an out right lie, as explained above. In fact, they insisted multiple times over the phone that they supposedly successfully tested the device before giving it back to me. What ever Dixie Auto was in the past, it is no longer now. Stay away at all costs.
