A Roxbury, Massachusetts mother says a trip to the repair shop turned into a frustrating ordeal after she discovered her SUV had been driven hundreds of miles while in the shop’s care and was returned with a faulty transmission and additional damage. After months of trying to get answers, she turned to the WBZ I-Team, which helped get her repairs approved. Read more at the link in our bio.

@akwildman907 Them
@mcglego Audit that garage and that whole warranty company. I bet they will find a ton of cases like this
@space_city_lawn_games Shut that shop down !
@surfacevalueshowdown Why doesn’t she fix her cars herself?
@kerwin_byam An honest mechanic seems hard to find.
@lp_the_sin_of_pride Warranties 99% of the time are scams I have never heard or seen someone get a warranty when purchasing a car and they actually honor the warranty without some type of back and forth
@bigbottomautumn07 Progaurd is cheap they don't want happy customers they insisted my customer install a used trans with no warranty.
@bigbottomautumn07 As someone that works in the automotive industry. Progaurd is slimey and Sketchy asf.
@cqks33 My family’s next-door neighbor is a mechanic, and he has worked on our cars for a long time. He has helped us fix many of the cars we’ve owned. When I was out of the country over the summer, I even let him drive my 2025 RAV4 Hybrid, even though it was still pretty much new at the time. My brother also gave him a 2016 Honda Civic as a gift. It really comes down to how well you know someone, whether you can trust them, and how honest and responsible they are. Even if he had gotten into an accident or something had happened to the car, as long as he wasn’t hurt, insurance could have covered the repairs. At the end of the day, it’s just a vehicle—a tool that gets you from one place to another.
@gordafluff Sue sue sue AND PRESS CHARGES

@gd_solutionsllc The mechanics look very trustworthy 😂

@pause4dramaticeffect This is DIABOLICAL. Because I'd be going nuts if I saw somebody random driving my car when it was supposed to be in a shop!
