Hi,

 

Still having problems with my garage. until I can collect my car (in bits) they are telling me i owe them about £8000 this is a new development.

 

Of course we have questioned what that £8000 is for. They have sent me two invoices which they believe i owe them the money for.

 

The first invoice was garage services which i have got checked out no problems.

 

the second invoice is for engine machining costs and head work.

 

Is there anyone who would help look over the hours they have put down for the work done.

 

for example: they have charged 40 hours to "Labour: Cutting new valve seats, fitting new stems, porting head, fitting springs"

 

There are other items also.

 

What I need is someones or places i can ask about 8 items i have been charged for on this invoice for how long they would take.

 

Solicitor said i need 3 different machine shops to comment. At this point i am asking a favour and will not ask you to stand by me in court.

 

This is purely for us to see how long things take to do.

 

Garage one was easy but engine services i need some ideas of who to ask.

 

thanks....

 

 

Yes this is still going on!!! didnt pick my car up friday although they promised a smooth hand over. £8000 for bags/boxes of bits. A car with no engine in.

 

The engine also in bits.

Glad to hear that you're on top of this Chris - good luck and keep us posted!

 

Steve :)

I have put a more detailed and focused post in the general section for anyone interested in following the progress.
