YOU NEED TO READ THIS BEFORE LETTING THEM NEAR YOUR CAR


The thing kept going into limp mode and cost me loads of money as i kept having to go to my local garage to have the thing seen to. I complained and threatened to go to trading standards because they insited the problems were not down to them, in the end i had a report done at MORE expense which highlighted trapped wiring looms, oil leaks and reused gaskets sealed with sealant (which is obviously not proper), eventually they agreed- reluctantly- to have the car back to sort out all the problems. I wish i could say they did but, when i picked it up, the engine managment light was straight on and then before we got home more warning lights etc. etc.
To be honest I didn't even want them to touch it again after the report. I had NONE of these problems EVER before they had worked on my car. I felt they had placed me and my family in danger with the shoddy work, but I had to give them a chance, by law, in order to go to the next level of complaint with trading standards.
I never made it to the next level as the stress and expense was too much, all the while i never had an offer of any reimbursment and I eventually traded it in before seeing this process through as i depend on my car 100% for work and couldn't afford to have it sitting around for evidence purposes whilst i took them to court. I dearly wish i had the time and money to devote to holding them to account for what i believe was awful workmanship.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
