the guy who number i had who sprayed my car his phones always off. done a quick check on company and think it said the boss who took my car in to repair has resigned? not sure hw you can find out if someone else has boughtthe Business.
im getting no where fast. gutted car in a right state when i went down and full of dust and bumpers still off car unfinished..
my mate said call trading standards?? just not sure what to do next. just want to get a transporter and it out of there, but its his facility and not going to let me just take it. very angry.
If mentioning trading standards or the police doesnt gee him up, put it to writing to the guy that you're giving him 7 or 14 days etc to resolve this issue considering the amount of time he has already had, and state this time in writing too and that after that you will be taking the car, with the help of trading standards or the police.
And that his refusal to allow you to take your own car means until such time as it is returned, he is 100% responsible for the car, and liable for any damage or problems that may arise with the car being held there.
Legally as long as you make efforts or promise to pay for work done, he cannot refuse you taking the car.
but definitely push the onus onto him that if he insists on withholding it, he becomes liable for the safety etc of the car and if it's damaged it's entirely up to him to repair or refund monies to you for repairs.
