Ok, a car was sent into a garage over 12 month ago, if not 2 years, to have an uprated gearbox and clutch, the gearbox has gone again on a new owner so they have had the clutch and gearbox out, and guess what they are both standard, but the guy who paid for them paid for uprated one's.

Now if we contacted Trading Standards i know they are unlikley to do anything even though I have an invoice etc, but do you think they would start looking at the company for other peoples sake if we complained??

Cheers

 

Probably - Would imagine you would need some sort of proof that the box and clutch is completely standard though.

Worth a shot IMO

 

I would be contacting the company to see what they have to say. Something may be able to be sorted amicably between you

 

Dan the car is in another garage atm so proof isn't a problem.

Oranoco - I doubt they would to be honest hun, i'm not going into details though.

Pisses me off how they can get away with this

 

They get away with it because they CAN.People need to be more vigilant IMO.

 

A certain well known tuner charged me for an expensive headgasket on my first rebuild and when it blew up it didn't have the item in there. My invoice for the work clearly stated it was there though

 

name and shame the firm

 

as long as it says uprated bits on the reciept then there should be no problem.

as long as the bits that have been put on are not classed as uprated by the garage that fitted then.

 

but as it was done so long ago could the garage just say somone else has swapped it over just a thought hope you get it sorted

 

i remember another garage,in the herts area,who got the uprated cossie head gasket confused for the standard one ,and visa versa,until someone pointed it out to him who bothers to put a normal h/gasket on anyway?

 

Ok well they put on the invoice (i think) that they had fitted a Paddle clutch and a certain type of gear box, but they havn't....like puss says how do we prove it hasn't been swapped gonna see if I can dig the invoice out.
