omg $980 is too expensive as far as i know the vt v6 engine average price should be $600 + transmission
or is that include the labor?

 

[minitsbay]

@mitmit

not including labor mate

its just motor

hytech parts v6 motor 6 months warrenty $980.00
commodore shop v6 motor 3 months warrenty $999.00
parts plus v6 motor 3 months warrent $1050.00
bero spares v6 motor 3 months warrenty $990.00

there just the ones i have written down but all that i have rang hytech were cheapest ill do a bit more ringing around see what i come up with

update

got the car back

car still **** bottom end knock so bearings didnt fix the problem
the prick had the hide to try and charge me $180.00 instead of the $100.00 he quoted and a heated exchange took place

i told him that he is a wanker and he and his monkeys has caused this problem and the damage done is due to oil starvation to which he said prove it had nothing to do with us)

sum it all up he ended up taking the $100.00 payment then ringing the cops on me to say im threatening him and being abusive and scaring off his customers (which i wasnt if anything i was saving his so called customers)

anyways if yous are ever around newcastle way stay away from twin river auto repairs , raymond terrace

now my cars back hom one piece i will sort something out with it probably rip motor out over the weekend and go form there

cheers everyone

A call to consumer protection would be in order now I think. Especially since the noise that only started after the initial repair hasn't been fixed.

My god mate,

Thats is absolute crap, I feel for you, there are some ****en shonky people going around..

I hope all goes well for you medically and mechanically, its so frustrating knowing this guy has got away with crap like this...

Good luck
Doobs

Unfortunately the hard part is proving it.

 

[minitsbay]

as danja said proving it is the major hurdle ill cop it on the chin as i have no choice just wont trust another mechanic as far as i could kick one (sorry to the good ones out there)

lesson learnt do it yourself and you know its done right

cheers
everyone
