PlayStation Repair Horror Stories: How Can You Avoid a Bad Repair Experience?

One horror story could be when a PlayStation was sent for repair due to a disc drive issue. After weeks of waiting, it came back with a completely different problem - the console wouldn't turn on at all. It seemed like they didn't even test it properly before sending it back.

One way is to join Tesla owner groups or forums. Here, owners share their repair experiences and can give advice on good service centers or technicians. Owners can also consider extended warranties. This can help cover unexpected and costly repairs. Additionally, when choosing a repair center, look for one with a good reputation for customer service. Ask other Tesla owners in your area for recommendations. If possible, try to build a relationship with a particular technician who seems knowledgeable and trustworthy.

Sure. My neighbor took his car to a local garage. They told him they had to order a special part. After weeks of waiting, they finally installed it. But the part was clearly used and not the right one for his car model. His car ran worse than before.

There was this case where a woman took her car to get the transmission fixed. The repair shop took weeks to 'finish' the job. When she finally got her car back, the transmission was still not working right. They then tried to blame it on other parts of the car and asked for more money to continue the repair. It was a total mess and she ended up selling the car at a loss.

Regular inspections can help. If you catch termite infestation early, the damage and cost of repair will be much less. Also, using termite - resistant materials in construction or renovation can be a big help.

Well, I had a home repair horror story myself. I got someone to repair my roof. They promised it would be a quick job. But they used really cheap materials that didn't last. After a few weeks, the roof started leaking again, and I had to find another contractor and pay double to get it properly fixed. It was so frustrating.

First, you need to identify the problem area of the hose. If it is a leak, you can use a hose repair kit which usually contains patches and glue. Clean the area around the leak thoroughly, then apply the patch according to the instructions on the kit.

I took my car to a so - called 'expert' mechanic. He said he needed to keep the car for a few days. When I got it back, there were new scratches on the body, and the interior smelled like cigarettes. And the original problem still wasn't fixed. I had to take it to another shop to get it properly repaired.

One horror story is when a guy took his vintage guitar to a so - called 'expert'. The repairman sanded down the original finish to try and fix a small scratch. It completely ruined the guitar's value and the unique patina it had. Another time, a person had their guitar's neck adjusted wrongly. As a result, the action was so high that it became nearly unplayable.

Well, here are some stories. A friend took his computer to a so - called professional. The 'professional' opened up the computer and somehow managed to break the motherboard. He then tried to blame it on my friend. Another case was a person who had their laptop repaired. After the repair, the battery life was reduced to almost nothing. The repair people just shrugged and said it was normal. Also, there was a computer that went in for a software repair and came out with a completely different operating system installed without permission.
