So I had circuit city install my Bluetooth and Steering wheel control accessories for my avic-d3 because I was lazy. They charged me 152 $ (yea i know) and I had this done in November. Few days later I realize some ____ is wrong with my car and take it back and they claim its not there fault. Whats wrong with my car is a clanking noise from the left side of the front of the vehicle. So i took my ____ to scion and they tell me the morons @ circuit city didn't put the dash back on correctly or broke it. the circuit city i went to is obviously now closed the ____ up and now im stuck with a horrible clanking noise. I thank god purchased the install on a circuit city credit card which i am refusing to pay. Any suggestions on how to fix my problem? or how to sue circuit city a company that is bankrupt? plz help me im going insane.

Pics of the damage?

I dont think $152 is worth messing up your credit score over.

Pay the card and fix it yourself. Otherwise you can kiss your credit goodbye.

I never really liked them too. They tried to mimic best buy on everything but half assed everything as well.

^^ Disagree with the prior statement.

I worked for Circuit City as an installer before they went belly up and just like Best Buy you have some installers that know WTF they are doing and some that don't. When you state love for Best Buy what you need to realize is that their business practices are one in the same and so are their problems. They are not isolated to Circuit City but I digress....

I hate that you had the Bluetooth installed in November and just recently are having problems. This is the primary reason why Circuit claimed they did not do it. I can guarantee 90% of problems are noticeable within the first few days and when you talk about you car no matter how busy people come back if something is FUBAR.

What I don't understand is why noise w3ould be coming from the left side. If the mic is mounted on the left side they had to take no panels off to run the mic over there, simply run it where the knee bolster airbag is. All the wires necessary to install the bluetooth add-on are behind the radio. There is no reason why noise should be heard from the left that was not there previously unless like you said they FUBAR.

You can't refuse to pay your credit card. Your credit card is not through Circuit City, it is through Chase so you're not refusing to pay Circuit City, they already have their money, they got it from Chase, what you're doing is refusing to pay the person that already gave the other guy the money. You can't tell them that you're not going to pay and go get their money back.....it simply does not work that way.

Take it on the chin bro, the most satisfaction you can get is the company is no longer in business and fix it yourself. The only part that does suck is if you were a long standing customer and had lots done, car audio and video wise, to your car then that lifetime installation guarantee is gone.....not like it did you much good to begin with. However, any extended service plans are still honored through their expiration.

i never even thought of it that way, now i have a new perspective on things.

why would there be a noise fromt he front of the car.they would not need to do anything but open the waterfall up and zip tie the blutooth and mic and stuff under the dash and good to go.....no need to even pop the hood.what is clanking,this does not sound rigt at all.

sciontc_mich

you might want to check your struts, sounds more like that is loose than the dash. check that first!

engifineer

Sounds to me more like your dealership is trying to back out on you, not circuit city. A clanking noise from your front left is most likely not related to the dash, and you can do a LOT of install work without taking one part of actual dash/dash cap loose. Most likely they only needed to pull the waterfall out, which in no way would cause a clanking noise where you mentioned.

this is very true

jamessicat25

You should have never mentioned circuit city to them!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea I doubt a clanking noise if caused from a bluetooth install and taking the dash apart. This doesnt compute. To bad I wasnt near you i would take a look for ya. i am sure if you check your local forum there are soem nice fellas willign to take a look for ya. GL man. But dont skip out on your CreditCard cause it really may be something not related and maybe your dealer is skipping out on ya and tryign to blame Circuit City.

PEPSI = BLUE
