Luckily I had my 182 so it was just money wasting away :( they haven't reimbursed me. I will be visiting them tomorrow to sort things out.
However i feel the same way with regards the time they have taken to resolve the issue.
It was in the garage nearly a year not 4 months :/
I won't be arguing but I think I will go down the route that some have suggested, handing them a cheque which will be valid in 4 months time :D
Surely its Karma? I would a agree if they were in the right.
I couldn't take it elsewhere unfortunately, I did complain at first after a month and a half or so, and then the head was taken out, after that it was left there (probably so I couldn't take my business else where).
The garage is a main dealer (hence why the price i guess)
It has ramps for 6 cars, the garage has 5 mechanics, 4 people on service desk and 5 or so people in sales.
Thats fine Stu, I have no problem with that, the problem I have is that they had the car nearly a year and all they managed to do was swap the engine, fit a new cambelt and then change a sump gasket.
13 Hour job?
I didn't just drive off though, It was ran through the service team before I drove off with the car?
At no point was I running out the door because I had gotten away with not paying.
Previously upon the original bill for the engine swap I had to pay to get my keys handed to me. (Like what...
Im not really sure why it has taken 4 months, I was told to take it back on a certain date for them to have a look at the problem (around 20 days after reporting the problem to the garage).
I reported it the day it was driven out of the garage (from the original reason why it was in there). It...
I am aware it seems like that but when a garage has your car for 9-10 months without carrying out any work you sort of get a little hacked off.
One the work was completed I had to shell out £700in labour just for an engine swap.
They took out my old engine due to the head exploding, they put a working engine in the car (which a friend at the garage supplied for free). I payed far too much, £700 in labour to fit it, and have its cambelt done.
Minutes after driving it away i noticed a leak, to which I returned the vehicle...
I see what your driving at but when your at a garage everything is locked away, staff confer with one-another and then hand over the keys once you have payed.
The fact they handed over the keys and sent me on my way makes it their fault surely.
Only when the guy left did and said goodbye did I...
Wasn't really sure on where to post this however I am looking for some advice:
Recently I collected my car from the garage where it has taken the mechanic 4 months to replace the sump gasket (joke I know), I finally get to the garage (this saturday just been) to collect my car.
When I...
Dear god Jazz!!
Good times..... I hope your not referring to CSS ;) Despite all that happened, the camping was good after :D
Would be great to see the two cars together Dan, should plan a shoot in the future! The Brecon's maybe?
Are you being serious?
Do you think it might have been 'familiar' from when you followed my car the majority of the way to CSS and back?
Bearing in mind you were on my thread before I actually met you, I did tell you I worked in Cardiff most of the time :rasp:
I think it's your mind playing...
