need dealer help

back about a week ago i brought my truck to the dealer cause i had a coolant leak coming from the drivers side somewhere. they told me it was a faulty overflow cap and i had to pay the diagnostic fee with is 3 hrs labor $300. i was pissed but i paid it and left. on monday i noticed a huge puddle of coolant on the ground and brought it right back. now they say its bad intake gaskets and its under warranty so $300 for them to misdiagnose it and now i have to pay another $100. long story short he said he couldnt authorize waving the fee so i had to leave and come back when the service manager is there. how do i get my money back from the first service? or get $200 back and they pay the deductable? thanks for the help

Talk to the service manager, if that don't work contact ford customer service, if that dont work contact the BBB-I'm sure the dealer is a member? if that dont work I would seek another dealer or even contact a lawyer. I know its only 300 bucks but assuming the service manager does not take care of this, it paints a nasty picture of the entire industry. my 2cents

Just so you know there is no coolant in the intake maniflod. They are blowing smoke up your #ss. And even if it was in the intake area it would leak off the back of the engine.
