HELP, i'm getting rorted by my mechanic!

[Boonz]

i got legal advice about my dodgy transmission rebuild but in the letter they gave me with the docket it did actually have terms of agreement which i didnt even bother to read so i got no compo....

i did over 40,000 km's with the dodgy trans which is when their warranty runs out and even the solicitor said dont even bother cos i wont get jack sh*t back from them...

my planetary gear set was knackered and the guy who rebuilt it this time said it has been rooted for quite a while, 3rd gear clutch pack was completely cooked and one of the ball bearings was jammed in one of the holes in the shift plate...

nice $2300 rebuild i got:ranting:

Pff, what a scumbag.


My dad's got done by his mechanic. Went in for $700 work on the ute, come out with $3000 worth of work that didn't need or want to be done. And the stuff that needed to be done, wasn't done or wasn't done properly. And everything they did was rubbish.

My dad specificly asked for the ute to be kept on the premises, not to be taken anywhere. a week or so when we get it back later, he tels us he took it to a carby specialist.

jacool92, that's $2300 worth of work for free. Why you complaining? "$3000 worth of work that didn't need or want to be done" implies that he was never asked, and he never told them to do it. Anything other than what was agreed upon is just a nice extra they have supplied out of the goodness of their hearts.

At least, that's what you tell the small claims court when they summon you to appear because you haven't settled on the outstanding $2700 =P

 

[Jo3_Blo]

XD!

But no, it wasn't all for $700 either.....................But none of the work they did was good. Bunch of useless shatheads.

f*** that id go in there and say fine well i'll just take everything worth up to 2000 grand if they say anything tell them to talk to the manager and that u will return the gearbox in the car to them :ranting:

well the good news is regardless of what there waranty is according to department of fair trading they or any shop for that matter (except 2nd hand shops) have to make sure that what they sell you is working for a reasonable amount of time regardless of what the shop warranty is. If you have receipts for your gear box parts and labour then next get it sussed by a reputable mechanic who will be able to do a report for the judge and finaly go to legal aid as im sure they can help and sorry to hear about the probs mate i always have the same fears when i send my car to have work done on it which is why i now go throught a reputable mechanic i know it costs more but the cost in the long run can be far greater
