Letter of Complaint Example
Dear Mr. Lang:
On February 12, 2021, I purchased two shock absorbers in your automotive department. Enclosed are copies of the receipt and the warranty for that purchase. One of those shocks has since proved defective.
I attempted to exchange the defective shock at your store on May 2, 2021. The mechanic on duty, Vernon Blanton, informed me that the warranty was invalid because your service staff did not install the part. I believe that your company should honor the warranty agreement and replace the part for the following reasons:
- The warranty states that the shock is covered for 48 months and 48,000 miles.
- The defective shock absorber is causing potentially expensive damage to my tire.
- The warranty does not state that installation by someone other than the dealership will result in warranty invalidation.
I can be reached between 1 p.m. and 6 p. m. at 9851….. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for helping me with this misunderstanding.
Sincerely,
Signature
Carlos De La Torre
