Small claims vs dealership

[kheath55]

Dropped vehicle off at dealership to fix recalls and oil consumption issue. Was told vehicle had a radiator leak needed water pump and flex pipe told them not to fix it today(expensive), car was fine before took it to them. Got car back and later engine overheats looked under hood visibly saw hose wasn't properly connected to engine. Called AAA technician had to connect BOTH SIDES of hose as antifreeze spilled all under hood. Added antifreeze (no leaks now) still didn't start towed back to dealer. Went to dealer 2 days later manager and technician poured water in same place we poured antifreeze and water squirted out like a faucet. Explained how the hose wasn't connected and showed them all antifreeze that leaked and still visible under hood, didn't give a straight answer. Said they run cars for 1 hour and road test before they release and I asked did they see a leak then they said no. AAA technician said he's available as witness if needed.
