Question for the mechanics

[JJ78]

Whats up guys?

My wife needs an engine for her 2010 Volkswagon CC 2.0 Turbo. Does anybody know a reputable place to purchase one on-line?

Jiffy Lube did not tighten down her oil filter all the way and she drove 500 miles north to Atlanta and blew the engine. We are taking them to small claims court. We are going to pick car up tomorrow in Ga. and tow it back to Fla. Have someone to put in engine, just need to locate one. Car has 88K miles on it. Just want to replace it then sell it. She still owes $4K on it.

Thank you for your help fellas.

maybe Diesel will chime in, he probably can help with this question

possibly austinite as well

Do not take them to small claims. Hire a lawyer add his fees and lost time to get the total over 10k and he will file in associates court. As for where to buy the engine have them buy it off a dealer it will jack the bill up and rent a car and tack on those fees. Now that they have fucked around it has cost you. All that they have to do is disagree with a small claim judgmrnt and pay a small fee and it goes to associate. Jack the bill up beyond small claims reach and they will settle out quick. Imho.

At least go though dealer for the new engine.

Jiffy lube does this kinda stuff all the time. Should be easy to win. Only problem is a 500 mile trip is a long way for the engine to go with out blowing up.

I would advise against this, don't do anything to increase the amount your seeking that is unnecessary.

Judges are very very intelligent people and you want them on your side. Trust me they'll know if you try and jack up the amount.

You have to look at your county laws but more than likely you will be better off in small claims over civil court.

In my county the max claim for small claims is under $10,000 and the max for civil is $12,000.

If you live in a rural area or small town lawyer fees range from $100-200 an hour.

In a larger city lawyer charge around $200-400 an hour.

If your totally unsure what to do then sit down with a litigation lawer and ask them for the best options before spending any money on a new engine or towing the vehicle.

I have walked this walk son. Never don't get a lawyer. Like I said small claims is a joke. In my state you contest the ruling pay 150 bucks and it will go to associate anyway. Small claims is judge Judy dumbassery.

You really have to trust me here I know what I'm talking about, I have several lawyers in my family.

The rules and procedures of small claims court are very similar in every state.

However, the rules governing appeals are all very different.

Some states don't allow appeals by any party.

Some states allow appeal of a judges decision but not an arbitrators decision.

Some states allow the defendant to appeal but not the plaintiff unless the defendant files a counter suit.

BTW, you can call them and corporate and Piss and moan and threaten and get nowhere. You have an attourney call them with a settlement amount vs three times what you are shooting for in your filing and it's probably going in your favor outside court. If they hire a lawyer and you don't you can consider yourself fucked. I know civil court well. If they give you resistance give it to an attourney most will take a share that they account for in the settlement terms.

You must know the civil court system well because you called it associates court 6 posts above.

Here is my 2 cents worth.
1. Never go to a corporate quick lube no matter what company it is( Jiffy is the worst) the quality is horrible and this type of thing happens on daily basis.

I would gather all documentation on when the oil was changed,receipts,date and mileage when it was picked up and when the filter came loose. You should also document where the car was parked (hopefully in your locked garage ) when it wasn't being driven this way they cant say it was tampered with after they worked on it. Contact your local VW dealership and have them give you a Quote on a engine replacement. Do not have them jack the bill up just a normal replacement for parts and labor.

I would then contact the Local jiffy lube where the work was done and they will tell you its not their fault.
Tell the manager that you need the number of the regional manager or whoever his boss is then call that person, after that person tells you its not their fault let them know that you are trying to solve this without getting a lawyer involved.
They probably wont care because this happens all the time with their company.

I would contact a lawyer and for around $200 he will basically write a threating " pay me or we go to court" letter to the company. You have a 50/50 shot if they will pay you the full amount or make a counter offer.
If you don't get anything this way you are pretty much SOL I hate to say. If you take them to court they will drag it out and it will cost you more in lawyer fees than what the engine cost and they will NOT have to reimburse you for the lawyer fees.

Make sure you keep track of dates and times of who you spoke with and let Jiffy know who you spoke with in their company. The reason for this is it lets the boss know you spoke with someone underneath them, he will know that his name will be mentioned as you climb up the ladder and no one wants that to happen.

Don't waste your time on small claims court you will get nothing. Keep a cool head,dont loose your temper and be polite at all times when you speak with the company.

One other thing that is a possibility is they may tell you it was road debris that hit your filter causing it to come loose.
I know it sounds stupid but they know every excuse in the book. If they tell you that's what caused it tell them to put it in writing for you and they probably will so it takes the blame off of them. If they agree to put it in writing I would then call your insurance company and file a claim with them if you have full coverage.

Your insurance company will either pay your claim or they will contact Jiffy and start a case with them to try and get out of paying for the repairs. Jiffy might not want the hassle of dealing with the insurance company and will try and settle with you instead of dealing with a large insurance company. This will only work if they put it in writing that road debris caused the damage.

It sounds like a huge hassle but off the top of my head an engine replacement will probably cost around $6000-9000 when it is done so it is worth a little time.

Hope this helped.

God man hate to hear that. It will be probably hard to fight. Same thing happened to a friend except it was oil plug. He ended up winning but it was a cheap car, good luck man. I would hunt a used motor but that will be tuff being an import and newer vehicle

You must know the civil court system well because you called it associates court 6 posts above.

Rule 4.3 Civil Cases
4.3.1 Cases to Be Filed With Associate Division Clerks: (Division II and III
of Howell County and Division II in Carter, Oregon, and Shannon Counties).
Probate cases, small claims cases, and all civil cases which must, by existing statutes, be
filed in the associate division shall be filed in the Associate Division.
4.3.2 Other Civil Cases. All other cases, including adult abuse and child
protection cases and all civil cases for the recovery of money, exclusive of interest and
costs, exceeding twenty-five thousand dollars, shall be filed in Division I. In Division I
in each county, each new filing of a civil case shall be accompanied by a party
information sheet containing identifying information concerning the party and which will
aid in the service of process and communication. This form shall be submitted to and
approved by the Court en banc and made available to the public. There are many kinds of civil court. Division 1 associate court is where I would go after overturning the small claims ruling by simply contesting it and paying a filing fee, if I lost. Yes it's civil court dumb fuck it's a civil case not criminal. Don't quit your 9-5 numbere. I have been to court quite a bit on both sides. Yes county rules apply. Most all work around a basic code that is similar in filing structure. I am done with this argument.also please know I don't give a fuck who you know that is an attorney. I deal with my attourney every week. I have dealt with many and like I said I have been here. having an attourney make a call is cheap. Never go without one. It means a lot more when they make the call than an individual like numbere calling them and squalling.

You can't talk to me or any other member with that type of language.

The paperwork is filed with an associate clerk.

There's no such thing as associates court.

[Obs]

You need to watch talking to staff(especially and anyone else) the way you are and have - listen up and you were totally in the wrong!

I agree BG(and I just read your post after I posted

I was and am entirely done with numbere. Yes I did get mad. The guy follows me around disagreeing with anything I say. He is the only member I have had trouble with and I should have got so mad but I simply don't like him and he tries to Piss me off.
