    Meineke attempted to weld a new flex pipe onto my truck dating back to 9/13. The job that was performed was poor and they didn't actually finish the job. Due to the job not being fixed, it then created a leak and that leak caused severe damage to my particular filter. I took my truck to a local Dodge/jeep dealer who discovered the leak and the damage of the truck. They reported back to me that the leak and failed weld that was performed caused additional damage to the vehicle totaling over 3k dollars. At this time Meineke hasn't decided if they will be paying for the damages and dragging their feet on the whole process

    I am well aware of *************************** issues with his truck. Although, I do agree that our welds on the repair are not the quality that we should provide, the leak due to the repair is not the cause of this the Particulate Filter Failure. In fact as you can see in the Phone transcript attached *********************** admits the filter has fallen off and a temporary repair was made by a co-worker to make it drivable. He also mentions the filer is bad in the same call. We recommended replacing the Particulate Filter which ********************* declined due to the added cost. This is why we replaced the flex pipe to begin with.  Also, according to other calls that we have recorded he states the Filter Sensor is bad as well. Therefore, I believe these problems already existed prior to the Flex Pipe Repair done by our facility.  This truck has over 100K miles on it and the average lifespan of a Particulate Filter is 100K Miles. We have reached out to *********************** to have him bring the truck back into us, so that I can personally inspect and replace the Flex pipe if necessary.  As I know at this time we have an appointment set for *********************** to drop off his truck on Tuesday, September 26th to be inspected by me personally on Wednesday September, 27th.
