my car was in for a full service the other day,
timing belt
wheel bearings
new bushes
brake hoses fitted
handbrake adjusted
new track rod ends
think that was about it. anyway. whan i collected it i could see the camber on the left handside was a mile out. i told him about this abd he said he had just put it back together as it was  handled attrotiously so when i got it home took the wheel off and had a look  the tyre was rubbing on the suspension so i adjusted it and then the wheels were literally pointing in different direction, undriveably bad!! managed to adjust one side enough to take it to kwick fit where they corrected it, for nothing  they said it should have never been aloud out the garage. I still have the engine managment light on aswell, said he would have to check everything as it was a conversion and could take days!!!
my back bumper is now also peppered with LOADZ of stone cips bcause of tracking
what should i do and whre do i stand??
unfortunately i paid him b4 going out to the car

got a couple of pictures on my phone. The bumper is damaged as a direct result of his mis conduct and the tyre is also damaged (he sais it was like this when it arrived) pretty sure this is bullshit tho!
