[B]Dodgy Companies - Ripping Us Off![/B]

[barra218]

Heres a thread to post all those dodgy companies and how they ripped you off to warn the rest of us to stay away.

Im not too sure if there is already a thread about this but i couldn't find one so here it is.


I'll start with a local panel beater who i spent thousands at getting just about my car resprayed. Within 3 days the paint on my dash fascia cracked and within a week it had all fallen off. Before a year had gone by the paint on the front bumper is flaking off and there is dirt underneith. They didn't even clean it before they sprayed it! And this is a bumper i bought off them! This just pisses me right off, so if you have encountered places like this, please post them here to warn others!

i dont think name and shaming is a very good idea tbh

I think its a great idea, if they do dodgy shit its their own fault.

Legalitites and all that shite mate - might be liable for slander or something if you start getting specific..... I'm a bit unsure of the rules but in this modern legal society you only need to fart for someone to sue your ass these days.....

LOL. You went to a store with the word "Guido" in it? That shouldve been your first hint.

The problem is that threads like this present only one side of the story. Unless the vendor is given a copy of any post and the opportunity to defend themselves both the poster and owners of this website are open to significant litigation. If you have issues with a company then I suggest you take it up with them via legal channels.

why not? there are heaps of just plain SHIT workshops out there that will happily take your money for a substandard job.

so let it be known who they are, so people know and stay away.

You raise a valid point, i will remove the store name from the post. Though i don't think there is much to defend on their part as i scratched away some paint on my bumper to uncover dirt. Plain old brown dirt..
