Auto repair fraud?

Question:
I have a 95 M3 that i took in for repair because the engine blew out from over reving and i took it to a local BMW shop. They told me that the valves were bent so bad that it made a hole in the 2nd piston and it's easier to jus change the motor. They said they replaced the motor with a 97 M3-- 3.2 L engine. However, when i checked the motor, it was the same oldmotor that they said was replaced (also a 95--3.0 L engine looks diff. from a 3.2 engine). I spent over 6k paying for parts and labor. I contacted the Bureau of automotive repair but the guy who's handling my case has not called or returned any of my calls. Is there something else i can do?

Try the Better Business Bureau as well... They may be able to help your situation a little quicker than the Bureau of Automotive Repair.

How do i change the off side side light bulb on a peugot 206?

First of all, to replace a 3.0L with a 3.2L they would have to change the transmission also. Call your local police department, they can give you further information on repair fraud and what avenues you need to take. You can also take the shop owner to small claims court, as long as you have documentation proving the engine was never changed. the best way to get this documentation is to go to your local BMW dealer and have the engine number recorded and they can tell you exactly what the engine is and if it matches the vin code. This will give you everything you need to take the man to court.

6k? That may exceed the small claims limit. You may need a lawyer, to sue them, dear. It happens that way.
Good Luck.
