Was a windy day, so you can guess what happened to that barracade...
The owner then calls me many hours later and lies to me about what happened and says we NEVER damage cars, but I'm sorry, it's your problem, not ours. I checked with our lawyer.
I said I want to come and get my car, don't worry about the work. Sorry, we already pulled it apart, you will have to wait until the work is done. Rushed it in before calling me. So much so that they didn't do the before dyno run I requested. Just pulled it apart so it couldn't be taken.They then put the build up on their Facebook page...
To top it off, they broke a rare brand new interior part I provided for fitting and I had to track the replacement down myself. But they did reimburse me for the part cost at least. I then had to get my car fixed, which became a whole different saga.
Ironically, I ended up being very unhappy with the work done by this workshop and redid the whole lot anyway. So, just under $5k down the drain. I later met other people who had their cars damaged at the same workshop, so the we NEVER damage cars was another lie. A very unpleasant experience, but I tried to stay cool about it, even with fans of the shop telling me I was the problem...
Took the car to a different Sydney workshop (that this shop had been rubbishing while I was picking up my car) and the results were great, cars still spot on all these years later. So, something good came out of it.
Far out man!
Hope your luck improves mate. :cheers:
Thanks mate - Me tooQuote:

He can chase anyone else he thinks is to blame.
How the heck can he not man up & take responsibility while he was supposed to be looking after your car when you have spent so much money with him?
I suggested that - they said they can't because of the insurance laws.Quote:

Who is your insurance company & what is their reason for refusing the claim?
I just want my car for ####s sake. I have been super reasonable all the way through. It seems that nice guys really do finish last and get continually reamed
So sorry to hear Dan.Quote:
