what garage was it?
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.
Gloucester Hyundai

to be entirely honest ..yes maybe the garage ripped you on 700quid to fit the engine BUT you was happy to pay it!! if you wasnt happy to pay 700quid for the engine etc you should NOT have had it done..you had a choice as thats a bit too much yet you had it done so thats the price.. the **** up was on there side but every body makes mistakes..maybe the person who led you to your car thought that you had paid..and realised after you left that u didnt pay. IF that was me i would have gone back in there and paid ..honesty is always the best policy personally if they had my car for more than 2 weeks i would not take any s**t let alone 4 months..thats your own fault for waiting that long..gaskets let go at times and if engine you bought is 2nd hand then its obvious it may need bits doing..dont be a kunt it will bite back 1 day lol why take all the hassle and look like a clown lol you say your self you owe them the money so pay it..if you want to give them a taster though post it for 4 months time lol
A whole year waiting apparently from the latest post, and he only rang once a week!
Bonkers, kinda like this whole thread

So let me get my head around this.
Renault sacked a bunch of your mechanic mates who are now employed at a Hyundai garage.
Your engine dies so your mechanic mates supply and fit you with a replacement engine (£700)
Replacement engine has a leak
Garage takes ages repairing
They let you drive away without paying the £75 fee that they are now charging.
No offence but your mechanic mates sounds like right cowboys, and no wonder Renault let them go if they are supplying unknown parts to customers and then bringing the garages reputation into the frame when things go wrong. Why didnt they (your friends) hold their hands up??
Stop being a dick, pay the £75, chase your mates for the money later as this reads like their **** up. You only paid the garage to fit the engine your mate supplied which they did, you cant argue that!

I see it this way from what has been said.
You asked them to replace the engine. They did and you paid.
You found a leaking sump gasket, you asked them to fix it and they did.
They gave you the car back, and an error at the garage allowed you to take the car before paying. You still owe them the money for the job.
The fact it took them 4 months to replace the sump gasket is utterly ridiculous, but immaterial to you paying. You could request that they cancel any bills considering the vast time it has taken them to complete this minor job, but ultimately they have carried out work at your request and are charging you reasonably for it.

exactly..well said

Just remember they know where you live and there are some spiteful people out there, for the sake of £75 I'd just pay it, paypal it to them and be done with it, wouldn't want to come outside and find it damaged during the night now, will cost a lot more, and if you do get a small claims court summons it'll be more expensive for you.
I didn't ask them to under go any work, I asked how much it would cost to fix and then they just fixed it!
Yup, you learn from mistakes I guess
Hows the car running now ?
Yeah pretty much
A dick? why does everyone assume 'I'm not going to pay' all i originally asked is where I stand

Unfortunately, it would be illegal for you to prevent a person collecting their property. If you did with hold it and it went to court, they could sue you for damages if the vehicle was required for business or getting to work.
I don't think he means he says "pay me or you don't get your keys"
It will be more along the lines of "that's £xx.xx please, excellent thank you very much here are your keys, see you next time"

What he Said
Its how it generally works - Pay bill get car.
Plus my invoices state that all parts remain the property of my garage until the invoice is settled in full - if this isnt the case within 30 days , the parts will be removed
To be fair its a very grey area and to be fair ive never had a problem with it
An also on a personal note why the feck should someone get their car worked on for free and just take it away - the OP didnt refuse to pay they just didnt ask

Hi mate, you seem like a decent lad from previous posts/threads on here.
Putting aside the length of time it has taken etc. You knew you had to pay £75, the staff has obviously made an error with not asking you there and then, however, the fact remains that you knew there was a charge, just because you have left without being asked doesn't make it ok for you to now not pay.
morally do you not feel like your doing the wrong thing her? Surely you know to just go back and pay what you already knew you had to is the rite thing to do here.
