Hey ****! Sounds like a frustrating situation. To help you further, are you looking to pursue compensation for the damages caused by the improper installation of the tire and the subsequent issues with the belt and crank?
Yes
Given the situation, it sounds like you might have a case for negligence or breach of contract against the repair shop.
Here are a few steps you can consider:
- Document everything: Keep records of all work done on your Harley, including receipts and any communication with the repair shop.
- Get a second opinion: Have another certified mechanic assess the damage and provide a written statement about the cause.
- Demand a resolution: Send a formal demand letter to the repair shop, outlining your grievances and requesting compensation for the damages.
