my rebuttal to this post is first, kenny the brother of bao towed the vehicle and informed me his acura is having transmission problems. he informed me he has his own mechanic and told me he needs shift solenoid a and shift solenoid b for his concern. i then proceeded to inform mr. nguyen shift solenoids will not correct a non-moving transmission, kenny authorized diag of 120.00 to properly inspect his transmission. we diagnosed the vehicle with having a bad transmission due to internal failure. kenny was insistant he needed shift solenoids so i quoted him 900.00 give or take and informed him this would not correct his concern, shift solenoids will help shifting points but not correct a transmission with a internal failure. kenny then sent me a link for auto zone to show how cheap the solenoids were, i saved that email. he declined repairs and said flush my transmission so he has clean fluid when he replaces his own solenoids. the cost for the flush was 169.95 .my tech flushed the transmission with an assistant tech several times and made no change to the color of the fluid. at this point i do except repsonsibilty for my technicain not informing me the fluid had no change after flushing that night, so when kenny arrived the fluid was still black and i understand the frustration. the following morning i was informed mr nguyen was not happy the way the fluid looked and smelled. mr bao nguyen showed up with kenny and another gentleman, i started by apologizing and informing him with a failed transmission and no pressure on the transmission i could not correctly perform a transmission flush, i was unaware of this until it was brought to my attention. before mr nguyen could ask any thing, i informed him i am going to reimburse him 72.00 for the difference of the flush and when their solenoids where installed i would flush the trans at no charge while he watched. again, i did inform he had a failed transmission. kenny the brother then continued to argue that all i was doing was to try to rip them off, when speaking to bao i believe we came to reasonable agreement. so in the final outcome we gave all their money back. they needed a tranny the way we explained, i did accept the blame for the communication error and apologized. as a dealer i believe that was fair. kenny on the other hand threatened saying he has a lot of pull in the asian community and he was gonna tell the asian community not to do business here which is completey uncalled for. im not here to argue just to explain the other side of the matter on what happened. mr nguyen is being malicious with his internet rants and is not being reasonable.
