I brought my car into Quirk *** since it would not start in the cold. When arriving they could not reproduce the issue and ran some tests. Upon completion they stated that it was the battery. I explained to them that this made no sense since I had replaced the battery approximately a month ago. They charged me 400 dollars for the battery and said the car was fixed. A few days later the same issue happened and I had the car towed to them. I had it dropped off friday and I called tuesday for an update they didnt even realize the car was there. After that it took almost 4 weeks to diagnose the problem. I reached out to corporate since I had been renting a car for the past three weeks and they said upon completion of the work they would reimburse me for the rental. I then found out today that after reviewing my case they are not reliable for the rental since the part was not covered under warranty. I understand that this was not covered but it should never take a dealership one month to diagnose a problem on top of charging me 400 dollars for a part I did not need. With the work included I spent **** on the rental, 400 for the battery, and 625 for the new starter that was the problem. This is unacceptable that I am out **** dollars because of negligence. I am fine with the paying for the part but everything else is not right.Business response

Upon our first visit with this vehicle it appeared the newly replaced battery from an outside shop was defective, we were able to run a test showing the battery was at a 0% state of health with no other issues at the time causing the vehicle not to start. During our second visit with the vehicle (for a no start concern) we were able to verify the condition and confirm a dead spot within the starter and recommend replacement of that part. After waiting for the special order part to arrive from *** the vehicle was repaired and returned to customer with no subsequent visits.Customer response

I understand that the problem was fixed. This does not explain why it took almost a month to diagnose the problem. The part took maybe a week to come in. What is the reasoning it took approximately two weeks for the problem to be diagnosed? During this time I was having to spend extra money on a rental while my car just sat there. I am not questioning that the problem was fixed I am questioning the time it took to diagnose the problem and left me without a car.

Approximately one month past I ordered two parts from this company (Order # ******, Part# ********AA Retaining Ring $ **** & Part# 5QW51AAAAC, Instrument Panel Applique, $ *****) I received an email indicating it was shipped with a tracking number! When clicking on the tracking number it indicated both parts in the package! The package ultimately arrive by US Mail and the package was heat sealed! I knew immediately that something was wrong as the package was too small to hold the Panel! When I opened the package only the small retention ring was inside! I attempted multiple times to call two numbers available for the company ************ and ************! There is a message on both but no matter what you do there are no live people to talk to or the ability to leave a message! I initially received a cryptic reply using there email assistance, but no longer! All I want is a refund for the part I did not receive! If you research their ******** site, there are numerous posts by customers that are identical to my complaint! The missing parts, wrong parts, and no working contact number appears to be a consistent issue! Thank you in advance!Business response

I see the last correspondence between yourself and our customer service representative indicated the item was out of stock. You agreed to wait for it to come in. Unfortunately the item is still on back order due to ongoing supply chain issues. I have gone ahead an refunded your entire order. Please allow 3-5 business days for the refund to appear in your account. I apologize for any inconvenience we caused.

I reached out to the vendor multiple times via email with no response in return. I explained the situation with the part I purchased from them via their website quirkparts.com to see if they would offer me a solution to the issue. I recently filed a case thru ***************** center to request an RMA and full refund as vendor seemed to avoid my emails and not wanting to work with me. Vendor was paid the same day purchase was made so Im sure they already spend the money and yet here I am with a part that doesnt go with my vehicle even though their site states that it is compatible with it. I would like my full refund for the part for $37.04.Business response

Purchased a brand new 2018 Kia Dec 27 2017. Second week of November 2021 under 4 years the engine died. Every oil change had been done on time. Car was taken care of. Only had 120k miles. Engine should have lasted longer. Maintenance light came on and it was taken in to shop immediately next day. Was told it would be over 13k to fix. Car not even worth that. Dealership and Kia not even willing to work with me on a way to resolve.Initial Complaint

I am having an issue with ********************** Dodge of Marshfield. I leased a 65k truck from them last year. Within **** miles I began seeing paint bubbling on the left side of truck. I brought the truck to them and was told that they have not seen the bubbling before. They allegedly took photos and were suppose to send the photos to the manufacturers for warranty work approval. A month went by and I called again and was told that the manufacturers take a long time and to call back in a month. Another month goes by and I called back, only this time I was informed that they had no record of me being there. Frustrated, I called the manufacturers myself who said no claim had been started and couldnt believe ********************** Marshfield did not submit the photos. The manufacturers set me up with 495 Dodge to take the photos and again no photos were sent. At this point, I decided to leave a negative review on **********************s page in which the owner read and defended his dealership(understandably).To put into prospective, I now have 17k miles on the truck, this is how long this has been going on now. I have been battling with the manufacturer who said bring it back to ********************** and they will assure the photos were taking. Indeed the photos were now taking , however the service manager and area supervisor said the damage was caused by myself. Clearly it was not, but I think its retaliation for a negative review and going to the manufacturers directly. The manufacturers now said they cant do anything and that I needed to hash this out with **********************.Before filing with the BBB, I brought the truck to other dealerships for their opinion, including a private auto body who all said the paint appeared to be defected and not caused by me. With this information, I emailed Mr. ********************** myself to see if I could reason with him and come to a reasonable solution. Of course, he has not answered. I believe that Dodge and **********************, who stamps his badging on the tailgate should back there product and make this right.Business response

I have one month remaining on my lease. I have never missed a payment. I have never had a late payment.I was quoted a purchase price and I secured the loan from my own bank.When presenting this to the dealership they refused to accept. They said I would have to finance with them to purchase the vehicle. This was never written into the lease agreement nor explained during the leasing process.Business response
