Warranty question (lemmy.zip)

I bought a used Forester, from a mechanic shop with a verbal warranty for 2 years. Covers engine and transmission. Transmission has to be replaced, and I'm being told it's not covered.

He initially thought it was something attached (not sure what) and that leaks weren't covered. But now that he's dropped the transmission, he's saying it's leaking out of I think a crack in the transmission case. And since the internal parts didn't break warranty doesn't apply.

Am I being fucked over? I don't see how the entire transmission replacement isn't covered under a transmission warranty. USA

If you had a verbal warranty, then yes. If he said he would take care of the transmission, then he needs to take care of it. That was the terms of the purchase.

Talk to a lawyer.

    A verbal warranty might not be worth the paper it's printed on.

    As the other guy said, you might need to talk to a lawyer.
