Im sick of the excuses. I recently put on lowering springs to my car, they phoned up 2 days ago saying that i need new ones cuz the car is too low. another 180 on my bill. Im gonna have a right go at them when im next down.

im gonna be honest, i didnt see the other threads and was brain washed by there site and advertisement in mags. Thought they would of done a really good job. I posted up the first thread hoping that people would say that UV were good, but i was verryyyyyyyy wrong, lol. Its done now and if the job is shoot then im not payin them the full price.
Now that i no that there shoot, im gonna look over the car completely. Any tips what to look for?

i can 100% tell you now if ur not happy and still dont pay the full price you will not get your car back, a lad gave his nova too them that had it for 6-8months and in that time all they did too it was fit bumpers and nothing else, the guy refused too pay, they wanted something like 2k+ and say if he dont pay they will torch the car or sell it on, they were basically telling him too pay 2k for about £300's work of work they did in the 6-8months.

Yeah if ur serious - get a solicitor involved and i reckon they'll shit it - they just act hard and obstructive to try and scare you out of complaining / not paying....l.

next time they phone you, or you phone them, just say you have spoken to a lawyer about this and spoken to others messed around by them and say you are thinking about taking legal action, i'm sure they will pull there finger out then

Like I said before I am a trainee solicitor!
u2u me all the FACTS and I will be quite happy to give you pointers!
Also if you're not happy with the work they do they can only:
1. Be given the first chance (as opposed to another bodyshop) to rectify shoddy work for no cost
2. Lower the bill
Couple of my housemates are in with the big city firms, I's sure they're up-to-date on their contract law
