Whats up guys,
So I had a fun day yesterday. Took my car to my ford dealership to get my oil changed and come fluids flushed before I hit the road for Christmas. While waiting, one of the technicians called me into the shop to show me my car battery was leaking acid. It wasn't obvious as to where it was leaking , I told him I just got the battery less than a year ago so I would be going back to interstate. They cleaned everything up the best the could and I went to the Interstate battery dealership I purchased it from. The tech removed the old battery and gave me a new one. He cleaned everything up the best he could, but I would need to get all of the positive cables replaced since everything was covered in acid and without continuous maintenance I would have buildup on the battery post. So anyways, the dude told me to file a claim because the battery had a failure that caused damage to my vehicle. I had the ford dealership do a damage estimate, nearly $800.00 to replace the cables and clean the engine bay. I was curious, are there any attorneys that handle shit like this? Can my insurance company cover me? What's to prevent these guys from just laughing and telling me to go fuck myself? Or dragging it out a year or longer without responding to me. Any kind of help would be nice. thanks.
