Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

We had an engine ovehaul repaired done to our commercial truck at a reputable dealer, and about 14 mos later the engine is completely damaged. The repair shop found that wrong parts where put in our truck engine, and the installation of this parts were not done correctly, causing the all the damage and destruction of our engine. We contacted the dealer and they told us that there was nothing they could do about that., even tho we had taken the truck back to them several times in the course of this 14 mos, the last time Falling within the year of warranty,and at that time they charge us over $1,600.00 for labor and told us they couldn’t find a problem. Three mos later our truck is at a repair shop because the engine has failed. To repair and fix all the damage is going to cost us around $28,000.00 plus all the time that the truck is unable to work. Legally, how can we proceed?

You need to see a lawyer who litigates cases. The original dealer should have given you an estimate and cost of repairs and a final bill. Also, if you had it repaired, you need to keep the parts that were incorrect and take photos of the damage and what they did wrong. The company that found the problems needs to assure you that they will testify in your case if necessary. Get all of this together and see a civil trial lawyer.
