Default dealer charged me wrong, now wants $

Ok so here is the deal, i bought a 09 iron earlier this year. In june i took it in to the dealer to get a 1000 mile check up/oil change. When i went to pick it up they total charge was like $25. They invoice total was somthing like $280, but it says right on invoice "customer to pay $24.95." so thats what i paid. I just got a phone call today from the dealer saying "oh we made a mistake and you need to pay $250 and some change." Now im an honest person and all but is it my fault they billed me wrong almost 6 months ago? Do I have a choice other than to pay? Thanks for your help.

no you pay what your receipt says to. Don't matter if they made a mistake. Of course if you don't pay, chances are you'll not want to go there again.

6 months and they relize "THEY" made a mistake? I think I would contest that one. Do you still have your copy of the invoice? You may need it. If it were a day or two, I might be willing to talk to them to fix the situation but 6 months?

I wouldn't pay unless they threatened legal action.

as long as you have that reciept, they don't have a legal leg to stand on. But like rounder said, I wouldn't go back

Work a deal to pay part of it and keep a good relationship with the dealer. I never like burning bridges.
