  After several opinions from various mechanics throughout the city I was given a referral to Transmission Experts. I took my 2017 ****** Rogue Sport for a diagnosis on my car engine troubles in March 2022. I was told that it could be my engine and was given a various amount of tests. It was then determine that it indeed was my engine and I arranged for my engine to be replaced at Transmission Experts. They kept my car for 1 week before it was given back to me with a refurbished engine. In July of 2022, I noticed that my air conditioner wasn't blowing as cold as usual. I then take my car to be diagnosed by another facility who specialized in ** repair. After several weeks of tests and inconsistent results I was then told that my ** compressor was bad after my bumper had been disassembled by that mechanic. They suggested that whomever replaced my engine may have mishandled the compressor which would have caused it to go bad so early. I was told to take it back to Transmission Experts and tell them about my issue. On August 5th 2022, I took my car in to be looked at my Transmission Experts and told them about my issue from the previous mechanic. My car was tested and indeed the ** compressor was bad. I asked if all my parts were replaced and they told me no, only the engine. The only other part that was replaced was the motor. I reassured them that my ** was working properly before the engine was replaced and that it may have been a mishap on their end. They disagreed and I called my previous mechanic who also agreed that the ** compressor was mishandled or debris had gotten inside during the engine swap. I had had previous 4 tests ran at Transmission Experts before the engine had been replaced and the ** compressor showed no signs of any problems.

  We are sorry to hear that ************** is having issues with the air conditioning in her ******* but the air conditioner is not part of the engine replacement service on any vehicle. The information she received is false and erroneous. ************** did return to us with the same complaint, and we diagnose her vehicle at no charge and explained what was needed to repair her air conditioning and was given an estimate of which she declined to have done. We would be willing to honor the estimate, but will not settled this unjustified complaint with any moneys paid to ***************

  I am rejecting this response because: I am aware that the ** compressor was not related to the engine replacement. But, My ** was working properly before any work was done by Transmission Experts. Transmission Experts has provide me with several free diagnosis's in the past of needed repairs and each print out of that diagnosis did not show any issues with my ** compressor. I have had additional mechanics look at my vehicle as well as dismantle the bumper in order to proper diagnose my ** issue and they have all agreed that my compressor would not have went out this soon unless it had been mishandled during the replacement of my engine. I can offer proper documentation from those licensed and BBB accredited mechanics whom personally looked at my ** compressor and believed that it was mishandled. I wasn't given any estimate regarding any new repairs to my vehicle by Transmission Experts because they believed I had made false claims. I even offered to have them talk to my mechanic over the phone in which they refused. I do not nor will I ever trust Transmission Experts to service any new repairs on my vehicle. I would like my current mechanic to make any necessary repairs to my vehicle and at the expense of Transmission Experts. 
  
  Sincerely,
