I took my utility in for a reco power steering rack/pump, all new frontend bushes and shocks as well as rear suspension, four new tires, picked it up just before Easter ready for a little road trip for a grand total of $3,800, Drove 200km and noticed some random bang noise in the front and discovered the two brand new tyres on the front were scrubbing so I had to book it in for a wheel align $55.00 Took it back to them after Easter (put up with the random bang noise over Easter) and they "fixed it" a week later some serious creaking noise started to develop so took it to another suspension specialist to investigate and they gave me an over $500 quote to fix "butchered" bushes and loose bolts on lower inner swing arm bushes, front shock making noises rear shock blown (cheap chinese crap)
And these people expect me to take it back to them again to butcher? Oh and to top it all off greasy hand prints on bonnet and guard wtf

Definitely send them the bill for the repairs they were supposed to do properly.
You would be well within your rights to as they didn't competently do the job properly the first time and you have no confidence in their ability to rectify their stuff up.
Worst case scenario you can take them to small claims court to get your money back on the above grounds. I couldn't see you loosing.
Not sure what that would cost nowadays though....

Ah that's ####ed up!! All relatively easy work that any mechanic shed should be able to do with their eyes shut. THey must be total muppets i'd be very careful about taking a bicycle to them, no way i'd let them touch my car!
You need to speak to the boss there and ask WTF are they even qualified or just bogans and ask what gaurantee they are giving you to get it right this time since they made such a mess the first time. Refund would be better but good luck maybe legal advice if you can get it as above.

Sounds about right. The deal with those companies is you dont have to be a good mechanic, manager, people person etc etc. You just have to show good sales figures and be a yes man.
