Open Question
Audio shop messup caused damage to break power booster.?
I have a 2008 honda civic still under manufacturers warranty
While shoping around for an amplifier installation I stumbled upon this small shop that would install the amp for a decent price and the guy seemed trustworthy so I decided to give him a shot .
He did a great job installing the amp and when I tried to drive away I noticed the breaks seemed hard and spongy , having expirience with cars in my younger years I imediatly knew it was something with vacum or the power booster assembly , I drove back (barely) and after inspection he admited he may had drilled trough the power booster while looking for a way trough the firewall.After I helped him some we patched up the booster unit somehow and I was able to drive away home at least with no problems , he offered to pay for the repair as long as I did it with his mechanic and his parts , and it would take a couple of days to get the part over .
I'm a little worried , he seems like a nice guy and all but my concerns is that god knows what part he is going to get and from were , and I don't know if any after market parts may void my warranty.
So my question to you guys is :
What can I do to protect myself just in case he tried to rig it and I'm not happy with the fix and/or
The mechanic trying to get any parts from my car since it's new?
Also how about if I say screw it and take it to the dealer , what would be the way about suing for repairs if he refuses to pay and what can I sue him for ,?does a small store like that have to have some sort of insurance ? he did mention he had some ,but does he have to pay me by law? I only had the car for less than a month so it was recently certified by Honda to be in good shape so there is no talking his way out of this .
All I have at this point is a recept for the work done to the amp , should I file a police report or something ?
Thank you in advance.
