Stand behind your work?

[Apocalypse2017]

Lets say you have a mechanic come to your house. Agree on a price, he assembles the table and decides to tweak something,seam pops and while dissembling cracks the slate. Spends 2 hours repairing the slate. Three weeks later both seams pop. You call and ask him if he can fix the seams...

Who did you use?
PM me if you want to keep it off the forum but if you want I can put you in touch with one of the top guys around.

From a mechanic's perspective, the answer can be difficult..

This mechanic should come back to fix this issue, without question. However, the quality of the mechanic is now in question. If you chose this person because he was cheap, you just found out why he's cheap. If he touts himself as being a high-level mechanic, then he should stand behind his work. Everyone knows that mistakes happen. Sometimes, it sucks having to correct them, but any reputable mechanic would make this right.

In some cases though, you may have to accept it as an expensive lesson, and find someone else to do the job.

What a great bit of input. May your poopies always be the hardness of soft-serve ice cream, yet wipe cleanly with minimal passes.

Only thin I'd add: You will NEVER get a service provider to improve his services by throwing a hissy fit. Be a big boy and work with others to get what you want. After you get it, fukc um!

Your quote there is what is great!!!!!!:rotflmao1::rotflmao1::rotflmao1:

I do not have much info for the OP other than it has to be established first why the seems popped in the first place. If it is because the table is on a wood floor with stringers rather than concrete or if the table was repositioned, etc... that should not make the mechanic responsible.

The mechanic should come back, but the OP has to understand that there might be good reasons for the seams to pop if the slate was defective in the first place, or other reasons.

@Apocalypes2015: It's might be too late, but if it's not, you might explore ways with your bank to block the payment, depending on how you paid. If you used a credit card, it would be easier for you. Would give you some more leverage in the process.

I had a recommended MA table mechanic do my table and the seem popped, he did come back and "fix" it. Same thing happened a couple months later, never called him again. The table is a 9' Gandy Big G that has been set up before and never had a problem, it's sitting on a concrete floor. There were a couple of other things he did that weren't perfect, so it's time to find a better mechanic.
He should come back and fix it.
Good luck to you.

My take....if he has the skills to fix the problems right by coming back, the he had the skills to do the job right in the first place, and shouldn't have to come back. That being said....find someone else!

I strongly agree.

Excellent advice.

I bought a truck certified once...I took it straight to my mechanic 'cause
it wasn't stopping right...the guy had messed on the front brakes.
My mechanic told me to take it back and get it done right.

I told him I would rather pay him than get it done wrong for nothing.
