HI all. Sorry about the longish message but I'm not too cluey on cars.
Our VX Exec was running smooth as until recently when the Power Steering pipes needed replacing. So i called Ultratune as I've used them elsewhere and they gave good service, and asked them for a quote which the guy said approx $80 fitted. So I took it in the next day for the tech to double check the order and was told $100 fitted.
I said okay and while you're at it can you give it a maintenance service too...no worries.
Got it back 3hrs later the pipes costed me $127? which included the fluid....and the service cost me an extra $30 for a clean air filter and was told my rear brakes were 95% worn...no worries...Paid them and said I'll call next week for the brakes replacement.
Anyway on driving it back every time it goes over a slight bump there's a knocking noise from the back like it's maybe the rear shocks and a jingling noise underneath from somewhere near the front passenger.
So i'm wondering has the tech either left his tools underneath or hasn't tightened something up.
Plus when putting the car from park into drive and vice versa it's not so smooth...
Obviously I'll be taking this back after Anzac weekend and hopefully they fix it up but apart from the P/S pipes the car was running great....now our Anzac wkend has been spoilt as we daren't drive the car.
Would I have been better of taking this to a RACQ service centre (we're members) or do Ultratune usually provide professional services.
