Do I have any ground to stand on and say I still want the same amount of money I was getting at the other site? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Unless you voluntarily asked to take lower pay or your hours have been cut due to the location change your pay should remain the same.it's not up to your employer to give you a travelling allowance but it could be something to ask for while your on the subject.
Be a little careful as it's shitty out there right now and garages can pick and choose from apprentices so if your happy there and you think there's a future then don't push too hard for a rise!!!!
