| Mechanic screwed me
On 5/25/06 I went in to get my inner right CV boot replaced. Today I was rotating my tires, took a look at it and the inner CV boot is torn and covered with grease/dirt. It looks like they haven't touched it at all and took my money. 
Any laws that will help me with this?
I will be contacting him tommorow, hopefully he fixes it without question.

| If you have your reciept, take a pic of the boot and take it back to them. If they tell you to screw off, tell them they'll be hearing from your lawer and walk out.

| Don't bother taking a pic... just take the car back and throw a fit.
What shop did you take it to? I run a home-based shop and would never do something like that. I swear, there are some shady ass mechanics out there. | |

| Took it there since they did a good job last time, that time I checked if everything was right when I got home and it was. This time I trusted them and didn't check.
