supraspeed Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 the supes been in the shop now 5 months and every day something new crops up i need to get or needs to be fixed. was supposed to get it back 2 weeks ago but the indicators went "missing" so had to get new ones. then one of the wheels i bought had a different stud patten so took a while to replace it. i needed a new relay switch last week. then told it would be ready monday...then tues...then today...and now ive been told it was ready until someone scratched the rear bumper with a wheelbarrow!!?? they said it would be ready to take home on friday but i'm sure something will go wrong. apparantly the paint was a lot more expensive than first quoted so now i'm left with a bill which is gonna rinse me dry! now i can't afford to get RLTC or a decent alarm on it for ages- plus sorting out the mapping was first on my list but now its all gonna have to wait...I'm so fu**ing angry!!!

Dazzi Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Were they shoveling sh*t in this wheel barrow? I'd go in and check whats going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoliathJay Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 How can they say its gonna take 4.5 months?! A fully stripped and rebuilt rally spec STi WRX only takes 5 months. And those guys are some of the most meticulas guys in the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Budz86 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 For things like the indicators going 'missing' etc, I'd let them pay for all of that as they were on the car when you took it in! If they lose/break/eat them, they should pay for it! Otherwise, what's to stop them saying 'sorry, we knackered your tubbies on a test drive, you need new ones'. Then they sell yours! Unlikely to happen I know, but there is a point in there somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 5 months ? whats the garage called so i can make sure i never go anywhere near the place ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 They are duty bound to tell you before any work starts if its going to cost more than originally quoted for - they can't just crack on and then charge you double. Go down there and see what the hell is going on - sounds like they're trying to fleece you. Read the Consumer Credit Act and be prepared to be tough on them - they're basically robbing you just without sneaking into your house whilst you're asleep!

TopgunTT Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I would of had the alarm fitted first. Did you get a quote written down for the work they are doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firestorm Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 i would be saying to them its taken you this long youve scratch my car, youve lost my lights - and now i want a substantial amount knocked off the bill as this is unacceptable. then threaten to take them to Trading Standards.

supraspeed Posted September 18, 2008 Author Share Posted September 18, 2008 result! just spoke to the owner of the place whos just come back off holiday for 4 weeks and i explained what had happened. i know the owner well anyway so he was really sympathetic and thought he'd make an example out of my car to his staff (as he was originally doing the main works to the car before he went away). He straight away decided to knock off £300 for the extra waiting time, took off £200 for the indicators and a few other small parts. then after having a blistering row with his staff over it he knocked off another £500 because i said i was going to pay him in cash lol. All in all a rather successful telephone call.... i pick it up tomorrow afternoon so i'l have the pics up soon. i can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
