Looks like a case of undercharging with a low hourly rate and then over charging time when you realise you are making pennies out of the job.

Everyone makes mistakes when they are finding their feet running a business.

Over the top mate!

Always heard good reports about Si. At the end of the day,it has been offered to be fixed if it was road legal so he could go a drive etc and he has given an explanation of the other stuff so fair play to him for stating that.
Really don't know why the work was paid for if you were not that happy with it and also why you didn't speak to Simon in more detail regarding looking at some of the work that you were not happy with as he seems happy enough to re-do it?

Hope all gets sorted out for both party's!

In defence for si, he has fitted managment to my car. When i collected the car and used it and found it not running spot on , so i contacted him and he took it back very quickly to iron out the faults, which is all sorted now and he is even meeting me half way to deliver the car!!
Ive even worked with si for a day or so working on my car and he is a top guy and gave me good value for money for the work carried out, and always willing to help....
