So I installed my GT500 Brembo breaks, Stop tech SS lines on all 4 corners, and bleed the brakes. That is the good news.
I had my dad buy 2 quarts of dot 3/4 synthetic brake oil from pep boys yesterday night because I was working and I planned to install my GT500 Brembo breaks, Stop tech SS lines on all 4 corners, and bleed the brakes today. So I pick up the 2 bottles from his house, put them in the passenger seat and head over to a friends garage to put them on. When I got there I take the bottles out and notice there was a wet spot. I touched it and come to find out one of the bottles had a leak in it! There was a small hole in the bottom of the bottle and was slowing leaking into my leather seats! I got some wipes and proceeded to clean the mess up. Well the oil started to eat away the material of the seat!! I cleaned it up and noticed a little later more kept seeping to the surface.
I went to pep boys and told them the young man at the counter the story and he refereed me to a manager. Which in turn told me to speak with another manager. Then every Tom, Dick, and Harry that worked there wanted to know what the hell was the matter which I had to keep telling the story to, which they all seemed like they could have gave 2 shits about the problem. They finally told me to speak to this manager who isn't a manager anymore from what everyone was saying. I don't really know his story. So I moved to the side and patiently waited for him. About 15 mins went by , he walked up, I smiled at him and introduced my self as I extended my hand. He eyed me up and down then shook my hand. I told him the story and before I could really finish he said I can't do anything. Due to the faulty product they sold me the only thing they could replace it. The "manager" said just call cooperate and deal with them.
I was patient, clam, and respectful. During this whole mess not one single person said I'm sorry for what happened, is there naything I can do to help. NOTHING! I know it wasn't their intentions to sell my a faulty product. My seat is unusable and ruined, but more to the fact how they handled the problem. They were unhelpful and not willing to assist me in any way. YES I was looking for some type of compensation. I would have been surprised if they bought me a new leather chair and didn't expect that, but I mean can you give me some cleaning supplies to where I can remove the mess a little better? Or a ****ing discount on those cleaing supplies. I shop there often but I won't be going back.
Now what should I do about the problem? Should I persue it further? Is there anyway I can save my seat? I really don't feel like buying racing seats right now... Ugh.. this just blew my mind on how much of a piece of **** I was being treated as.
