The Fight for a Car Dealer's Warranty Refund
Dear ABC News Fixer: I paid my Toyota merchant for an uncommon service agreement that kept going until Jan. 5, 2015. Under terms of this dealership guarantee, in the event that I didn't utilize it for repairs before the close date or 70,000 miles, I would be qualified for a discount.
When I connected for the discount, the dealership needed a few archives. Two archives were missing, however the dealership had those in their records and confirmed this with me. They said they were prepared to handle my case.
That was the previous summer. I never got the check, so I attempted to reach them again, supposing they may have sent it to my old location. The email address I had for them doesn't work, and nobody gives back my calls.
