Als Snowmobile - Al's snowmobile scam_artist's ripped me off for 1200 dollars

originally thinking i would have a reliable snowmobile to ride for a few seasons, i made the mistake of assuming a newly rebuilt motor i bought from a big company was the solution.aparently not? after purchasing a rebuilt motor from al's for $800 and also paying $500 to have it istalled i got a grand total of 30 miles before the motor had another issue and the sled was unusable. this was last february. after speeking to someone at al's i was told to bring the motor back assuming they would be going good for it.also wanna add that al's snowmobile shop is about 8 hours away for my house. so obviously wasn't cheap or easy to get the time to drive for 8 hours to take care of a problem i should never had. also was wrong to assume that al's would fix the motor that blew 30 miles into it. three weeks after dropping off the sled they called me asking how i wanted to pay for the second " rebuild" seriously.. so for another $400 dollars i got my motor back again under the assumption it would last a few years. again i was wrong. the person at al's blamed everything from water in the gas to the initial instalation. so i took my sled to a polaris dealership they changed my jets in carbs drained my gas and set sled to factory specs. for another $300 that is. after riding it for thirty miles again the motor has blown.. i cannot say enough bad things about this place. I am a carpenter and could not imagine trying to charge someone to fix the same thing i supposibly just got paid to do to begin with.
