Went to get car serviced last month, one of the things I wanted to get looked at while it was in was the alarm system. It was getting activated and not sounding (lights flashed but no sound) told this to the dealer and left my car for the day. Got back and he said service was fine as was the alarm - its not meant to sound (said there’s different models and this one just flashed) Thought this was strange but didn’t argue. Today while fucking around under my car, I found the alarm siren, a couple pins were loose from the connection into the loom so I fixed it. Tested and it worked
What should I do to the dealer for lying to me I thought about parking my car outside his house setting alarm off and leaving it there for the night(it is very loud )

1 - They lied to me about the alarm
2 - They told me it hadn’t ever been in an accident(usual question to as when buying used) when I put it in for Exhaust my mechanic informed me it had. Was all repaired well but not the point.
3 - 1st time I had it in for a service, the monkey mechanic was revving the tits out of it as he drove it into the garage. This annoyed me because only I get to do that Complained and didn’t even get an apology.
4 - I noticed a spot of rust appearing on the passenger door - told the service guy but so far he's done sweet fanny all think he’s trying to put it off until warranty’s up
