Not Chilling Out A Customer

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ต.ค. 2024
- The plaintiff says he brought his car to the defendant to fix his air conditioning. He claims the defendant told him it was fixed, but it stopped working again almost immediately. He’s suing for a refund. The defendant says he replaced the air compressor and all was fine. Four weeks later, the 20-year-old car had a new leak, and he claims the plaintiff didn’t want to pay to have it fixed.
case 29-322
You’re running a business, being sued, & didn’t think you needed any paperwork for court? 😒
Either, he doesn’t have any or the paperwork would do him no favors.
He don’t care!!! 😜
I see this a lot i don't think some people believe tv court is real court so it seems they don't take it seriously.
That guy froze up too. He sounded like the 'there was a blowout' guy from Few Good Men.
Because he charged the customer 5 hours to take his dashboard apart and never properly repaired his A/C system. I worked on cars professionally for 18 years, this mechanic messed up and knew it, and his paperwork would have, and did incrimate him. That's why he didn't bring any paperwork
The second I saw the defendant walk in there without evidence I knew it was over for him🤦🏽♀️
@@inthinkable look everyone can make comments. You don’t need to know anything about working on cars, as long as you understand the legal system.
Have to bring the receipts!
Exactly, he's the business owner, he should have been much more prepared.
My purpose in life is to now listen to this man say VE-HI-CLE
😆
Lol right
😂😂😂😂 older people are hilarious they just pronounce things the way they want to 😂😂
@@reauchea18 its him saying that word 50 times for me
@@Lolalenice 😂😂😂 ikr I don’t see how the judge held it together cause it would have killed me not to try and help correct the poor guy
a common Judge Judy statement/comment, "where did you think you were coming to today, the beach?" (for the litigants who don't bring any documentation).
Lol I was just saying that
Lmao i love me some JJ
If someone was snarky like her comment she would come down on them hard. Why should she act like she does and not get called down for it? Because she thinks she is all that
Ain’t it.. JJ would’ve slammed him
I like it when she says "where did you think you were coming, a tea party?" 🤣
The defendant brought his own statement😂🤣😂😂🤣 I'm hella weak💀💀💀💀
LOL
"I weak" (in Pidgin English) 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Hahaha! I died when that’s all he pulled out.
🤣🤣
The plaintiff said “vehicle” so many times that the word has ceased to have any meaning for me.
he wanted his VEEEEE hicKLE fixed hahaha
Lol🤣
On the contrary -- he has given the word new meaning -- and breathed new life into it! I will never get tired of listening to him say that very special wuh - huh - hurd.
😂😂😂
It reminds me of when a child learns a new word and says it as often as possible.
These two have never been to court! It's like pulling teeth to get the info! This would drive me NUTS!
I was shouting at the screen, "Answer the damn question!"

As a mechanic, I can legit see this happening. It is really expensive fixing AC and if you don't replace the whole system on an old car, you run the risk of parts gradually going bad or sometimes going bad shortly after old parts are replaced. That being said, it looks pretty bad that he has no paperwork, texts, etc. to support his side of the lawsuit.
True
As a mechanic, you know how much we enjoy paperwork. But you are correct, documented 3 c`s and CYA! Especially signed waiver of this is what has to be fixed 1st with a notice that other things may fail with no guarantee it won't happen. Also guarantee the parts and work done, oring can be easily pinched. Any old timer mechanics will tell you about old school Chevy v8s. The 90`s. Replace the intake gaskets a in short order the hoses blow then radiator, then water pump and then sometimes heater core.
I feel bad for the mechanic. AC's can be tricky and there's a lot to the system. Plus parts are crap anymore.
I'll join the mechanic's thread. Since you are all mechanics, like me, you know that evaporator cores usually butt up to the firewall and the only o-rings are accessible through the engine bay. If the core is leaking then the mechanic should have stated it was the problem, not try and blame it on o-rings. Things he said were true about one new component leading to problems with associated components but as a shop owner you have to anticipate this and make sure to warn the customer, and especially in writing on the work order, and then let them make the choice or just refuse to do a half job.
Right but at the same time, you’ve gotta have paperwork to back it up.
A lot of times when you replace a part on an older vehicle, the old parts can't keep up with it & start to fail.
I agree. Been through this recently with my 2007 vehicle. One problem after another. Even had to change my AC compressor like in this case but thank god it worked out fine. Finally just sold my vehicle. Didn’t wanna deal with future problems lol
I Feel call when I’m
And as a mechanic he knows that and should of told him that. That way if he have to fix all those part eventually at least he could of been like I TOLD U SO.
Yes, so true! It's like the car knows some part got an "upgrade" and the other parts want one too?
You go disconnecting, moving old lines, there are weak points from age, rust, rot, rubbing on things, it's going to create more leaks. The longer you let a problem go or let a car sit, the more likely it is those things will happen. My family cars are almost always junkers, been sitting, cheap, and I've seen it so many times you might as well just change everything.
Take a shot every time the plaintiff says vehicle. You'll be out of booze before he's out of vehicles.
Lmao 🤣 🤣
Omg, lol!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣😃😅😅😃🤣
I'm gonna save this episode to see how drunk I get 😂
He said “ve-hi-cle” soooooo many times 😂😂
Harvey if you are that unwell take the damn day off all we need is Doug at the end anyway
The mechanic is the most unprofessional businessman I HAVE EVER SEEN WHY WOULD YOU ALLOW HIM TO EVEN PUT GAS IN YOUR CAR? 💯
Trust me, he could care less what you think. If he has a back log, then he is probably a good mechanic. His mistake is not having a book keeper / office manager to protect him from the uninformed.
@@joshuarittenhouse9040 True, I bought a van in a different [southern] state, the manager told me '' take the van, when you get the money send it to me and I'll send you the title'' I did and he did. lol
I worked for the guy
Deference between being a good mechanic . And a good buisnessman
@@dixonmoss5422 How was that?
The defendant didn't give a damn about anything...
"Vee- hii-cle"😂😂😂
He sounds so much older than he looks lol. I was just listening without watching at first and I was expecting to see an 80 year old man saying ve-hic-le like that and talking about pulling a “blade” 😩😂
This guy should be held in contempt for having NOTHING. He is a business owner. He should have records
well, he MIGHT have them back at the office LOL
@@MomIrregardless maybe 🤣🤣
I've dealt with AC problems myself on cars in the past. The mechanic is right when he says that the AC system is pressurized... so with a fresh compressor, that now puts pressure on seals and hoses that up to that point had not been under pressure for a while and may have dried out due to lack of lubrication. Therefore they in turn can leak now that they are again under pressure. So I understand his position here but am unimpressed with his business acumen. The plaintiff pretty much got a free ride here . The O-rings are fairly cheap and all it would essentially be now is a couple hours of labor and a freon recharge.
Communication is important. The mechanic should have prepared the customer and told him that this could potentially happen and it may be extra if it does. Either that or just change all the o-rings and hoses and include it in the price from the start.
@@Forwardever. the problem is that a lot of times we tell people what the issue is and they do not understand whatsoever because they have no clue how a car works.
The majority of people out there just dont understand anything about automobiles and how they work.
I've known people who could talk the talk but put a wrench in their hand and they dont clockwise from counterclockwise even though they can tell time.
I've dealt with them as well. You don't just change the compressor and not do pressure checks to check for leaks. I believe the plaintiff when he says the next day.
I remove the a/c’s and toss them and have no further issues
I would be so mad if I finally get to be in the audience and had to sit through this boring ass case
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The extras in the audience work a full day. They probably record three or four full episodes in a day.
😆😆😆😆😆Well Thankyou I immediately came to watch and read this comment. Warning ⚠️ I know now it’s going to boring so I’m debating on watching 😆😆😆
@@kweenkashmereiman haha! And trust me I LOVE people’s court and I love all the cases, but for whatever reason this one was confusing and bland
Why would anyone want to b in the audience? Where do they even get these people?
The judge looked so irritated when she asked, “is there anything else you wanna tell me?” 😂😂😂 @11:35
She gets irritated often.... she must have such a miserable life to be so nasty...
I don’t think she ever looked irritated
The new mechanic is wrong. The clutch will not engage if the freon is low. He does not need to replace the new compressor with another new compressor. By the way I'm a mechanic over 20 years
I had a 2005 Lexus,that I bought in 2015 and the A/C suddenly stopped working. It wasn’t the compressor,it was still cold,just wasn’t coming out. It was the blower motor. I purchased another used vehicle, and immediately took it to a mechanic and they found the same problem. It happens a lot. Shutting the A/C off before shutting the vehicle off,increases the life of a compressor
I'm thinking that the condenser should have been replaced too. I wonder if trash in the system is going to ruin the new compressor.
This is typical of many auto repair shops. I've been in the automotive repair business for a long time and I know what can happen. The auto AC business should be handled by AC specialist, especially on older VE-HI-CLES, lol. The mechanic here did not write up a work order, first mistake. The first thing to do as a shop owner is write a work order as a diagnostic. After you've found the culprit or culprits, you inform the car owner what you have found without hands on getting into the job. Then you write down the cost on all parts and labor. Very important to stipulate in writing that if you happen to find any additional related items that need to be replaced, that you will stop the repairs, notify the owner and address the related issue. Make sure they understands and agree before signing the work order. Obviously there will be additional cost but you're giving the car owner the option. Otherwise, you won't have a leg to stand on when your standing in front of Judge Marilyn Milian...
The defendant is the reason why some people don’t trust mechanics.
@Tyler Kim Some people? Most people don't trust mechanics.
Who comes to court with no evidence whatsoever?
The plaintiff isn't any better...he's clueless and seems to feel that because he paid the guy some money, he should fix the entire car to restore it to new. Even the judge wasn't buying his constant blame for every little thing. Neither of them have proper evidence.
The second guy he got an estimate from was the scammer.. He told him he needed a new compressor when it wasn't "spinning" when the problem is low freon.
125 125
This guy’s just one of those customers. He’s just stupid enough to let you overcharge him for something, but just smart enough to not let you get away with it.
Working on ac in a vehicle has to many "ifs" especially in a vehicle 🤔
Side note; vehicle is the word for the day😉
And "Cooling"
I saw this comment just as he said ve-hi-cle 17 times in a row😂
the judge don't understand car repairs, people do spend hundreds of dollars on old cars. its cheaper than having a car note for the next 5 years.
Ask her how much is a gallon of milk 😂
Then bring evidence to receive the amount that you want to get. Also, Im sure she knows how much a gallon of milk is. She actually gives people generous amounts when doing rough justice and the only thing she took out was the compressor that is in his possession.
Yup. If the mechanic had explained himself better he might not have lost. It seemed as tho he just expected her to understand that when you replace a weak compressor with a new one that there's a sudden increase in pressure and temperature changes that weren't there before so old parts could start to leak.
Mine is a 1997 Toyota Camery, three years ago, it was $2000.00. It belonged to the deceased mother of my daughter's friend, Steve. It was well taken care of!! I wrecked my car, this little low car was hard to get used to, but I love it!! I did put new all weather tires on it and a new bumper, runs like a top, NO PAYMENTS!!!
@@sharonsnow6295 All of my vehicles are old and worth more than I paid for them, and they're all appreciating instead of depreciating like your Camry probably is.
when he dun came for the VEEE hickle lol. love these cases.
I do not feel the defendant was trying to scam him in any way. But I do feel he's not as skilled of a mechanic to handle more detailed repairs like this one. Other than he seems like a good and genuine guy overall.
Thank you for finally exposing these mechanics doing this for years and dealerships are the worst I rather you give me a ridiculous Price with everything that I need to fix versus you charging me each time the problem is they go together
Did he pull his statement out from his back pocket?!

The plaintiffs voice sounds older than his face looks. If that makes sense
Exactly, I agree.
Yup, but he’s probably older than he looks. His voice might match his real age.

@@chynacash3138 to you😭
I don’t understand why she does ‘rough justice’ when other people don’t have evidence, she says that’s ‘you’re problem’. And that defendant shouldn’t assume the plaintiff would provide evidence for him (when they talked in the hallway).
Rough justice = defendant incriminated themselves, saying the plaintiff isn't lying tho the plaintiff doesn't have the evidence, the rough part would be the amount being awarded
Because shockingly enough when you go to court you have to have evidence to get the amount you want 😳🙄
You don't understand why people need to bring evidence to court...???
@@michelleprieur1 I know Riley understands, " I don't understand" =" I'm sick of hearing"or " it's pretty stupid when..."
Thanks for playing
I worked in a small dealership for a few years in the 80s. Every car that came in with AC issues needed a new compressor, even if an O ring would fix a leak. We would even clean the old compressors and paint them to reinstall as new. Same with alternators. I got out of the mechanic biz because if this. Sad that this still goes on.
To replace everything on that a/c system would be more than the car was worth.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking. I had a 99 Honda civic with the same issues. Once I was told the cost to fix everything I decided it wasn’t worth it to throw money at it. Eventually I just drove with the windows down and replaced it for a newer car.
When a defendant walks in with no paperwork they are either so sure they are right or they are ill prepared for being sued. In this case he was ill prepared and it cost him.
Yeah $1,500 is a lot for air conditioning problems and then it not be fixed
Lord, pullin out blades! Are we doing a Michael Jackson video? 🤣🤣🤣 🎵🎵🎶BEAT IT!🎶🎵🎵🎶
man, Covid and downtime really getting to Harvey during this one
Good.
I had a same situation with the AC compressor except I was going to the dealership and yes you have to watch them cause all you get is the back n forth the run around as I call it, after coming back the 3rd time I had to get some base in my voice to let them know enough is enough n if they couldn’t fix it I’m taking my business else where low n behold they finally found out what the problem was, long story short watch everyone.

This happens all the time with closed systems. The defendant could have saved himself with a little documentation to verify what he was explaining
I like the way the plaintiff talks I like his accent 🥰😘
Especially when he says cooling
Is that an african dialect? I don't recognize it as english...
As a mechanic I would never have done a air conditioner compressor on a 17 year old car
I would buy a baby fan from Big Lots. It works, well temporarily and if smart enough save a bunch to fixing or buying
Shit I'll buy another car for the price I would pay to fix the AC... Seriously I have bought cars for $1200 because the AC worked... I had a car that ran absolutely perfect nothing wrong with it except it did not have reverse you couldn't go to reverse to save your life but you can go forward just fine the AC worked great and everything else worked lbvs
@@alyssahamlett 👀not reverse👀

I like the defendant. He has a calm tone and nature about him
Both parties seem pretty good it just went really bad but I think where they come from it's just a handshake nobody really does paperwork. It was just one of those cars that needed way too much money in order to get fixed
The fact he fired his employee for being an ass clown sits very well with me. He also said there’s no need for violence. I like that!!!!!!
You look like him
Funny too lol
@Joe Blow your mom does too 😉
Never take your car to a mechanic to fix the AC.... always take it to a shop that fixes only car AC systems or you will get this as your result.
True!
Lol the litigant said the word vehicle a lot.
They both seem like nice people. idk why, but I like them both.

lol, this case turns THUG really quick after the car problem discussion, haha, let's take it outside!
This exact same thing happened to me, took it 3 times, leak the 2nd and then they had to remove the dashboard, but because it was still under warranty, they said no. Eventually I had my dad do it for waaaaaay less. Some mechanics, even the car dealership mechanics, have no idea what they’re doing
yeah, and then they FIND new problems for you and try and convince you to pay more on the spot to have those problems fixed as well!
@@MrMaddox57 yup, it’s exactly what they do. The final straw is when I replaced my tires, another car shop stated it required new tire sensors, they replaced them and messed up the tire sensor configuration so then one of the tires always flashes low, then they’re like, “oh we can’t fix that, you’ll have to take it to the dealership.” 🙄🙄🙄 stop touching things, if you can’t fix it!

I was watching this on the app from my TV, but within a minute of the episode, I KNEW I had to hit these comments!

2 weeks for a mechanic to see your car? I would just walk away and find some one else.
I had a mechanic tell me it would take him three days to get to my car. I took it to a shop down the street and got it back the same day.
I wish he would have...then the defendant wouldn't have been ripped off by Marilyn...
Plantiff kinda sounds like Bobby Boucher in water boy lmaooooo
I mean, how was he supposed to know that he was supposed to bring paperwork to court?🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
You can tell they're from the South. "Yes, ma'am" every 5 minutes. 😊
So adorable
Harvey looks very sick in this one.
Yes! He even looks dirty.
Alcoholism?
Harvey.....Get better man!!
He reminds me of the character Tom Hanks played in Philadelphia
Looks like he aged overnight.
My dad's an ASE master tech with 30+ years experience. The best thing you can do is notify the customer on a quote/repair order of any repair they've requested, any problems that could occur as a result of the repair (because that's a thing) and any/all costs that could be expected. Most people want to fix their cars as cheaply as possible. If you own an old car because buying a new one is expensive, you're going to spend as much, if not more money keeping the old one on the road and in good condition.
Lesson of the day is, if you maintain your vehicle well, find a mechanic you trust, and don't try fixing your own stuff (if you're unqualified) to save money, you'll at least know what you've got and what to expect.

It DOES take many hours when they have to take the dash apart. I had a plugged heater core and the heater/a/c doors wouldn't open. They quoted me $2K to fix it. This was 5 years ago.
Plaintiff sounds like the water boy “that’s some quality H2O”
This is a case where it would have helped if the judge had any knowledge of auto repair. Yes, you can replace a part on an old vehicle to fix a problem only for other issues to be exposed after the fact. It's all too easy to have a domino effect where you can end up replacing a good chunk of the internals because something else down the line can't keep up with everything that was broken now working. The mechanic really should have brought evidence, but he wasn't wrong in that respect.
I think you're right and I think the defendant is just old school and never been sued which says a lot about his character.
She acknowledged that though.

I’ve found that it helps to use the recirculation function to keep my Durango cool, rather than to constantly trying to cool hot Texas air.
LoL that no at the end with the smile was a cute fib
He should have known that the seals were going to go bad from the leak test you have to do after the service is done. Not doing one can result in a huge huge fine. Most mechanics I know are paranoid about that. He may have been able to charge for the extra seals and even the cost of going into the dash.
A compressor run without 134a may possibly be destroyed if the oil also leaks. It can happen but not always (I’m a certified parts specialist)
Old cars are like that. You fix one thing and something else goes. It's just the way it is.
The car was "stressed" being so old. Once the new pump with high pressure replaced the old weak pump. More leakes started by weak and dried out seals. The only solution is replacing every component in the system or buy a newer car. Case closed.
Dudes a theif. He took advantage of that kind man. I wish the Judge would just give the max.
😂 the plaintiff witness look like he was sleeping through this
Judge: So you brought a knife to a gun fight

This drove me crazy... The judge is stuck on having the plaintiff break down each and every word of the story - "what do you mean by charging toward you? What do you mean by getting in between you?". Then the plaintiff takes forever telling the story and says the word vehicle about 57 times 😒🙄. My nerves!
How else do you truly understand what someone means. I guess you just make assumptions your whole life.
$1500 should of been enough to fix the AC instead it didn't make it home. This guy is a scammer or just a crappy mechanic. Instead of doing a thorough investigation he's the guy who tries one thing to another to another to another until he nickle and dimes you to death. EVIL PERSON
