Shame you don't know the full story, there is always two sides to every story.

- The "rebuilt engine" was purchased off e-bay.

- EAS were only paid to remove, and fit the other engine.

- They came across ALOT of issues with the engine.

- Fixed some, but customer did not have the money for them to strip the head completely and see what was going on.

- Upon pick-up, last night before Xmas closure (myself and a few other customers had already started the Xmas party), the customer was warned his "rebuilt" engine was not running right and should be looked at ASAP.

- He obviously didn't listen, and decided to boot it.

How is a w/shop responsible for another persons fark up?

If EAS was only paid to install a dodgey engine, why should EAS bare the cost of rebuilding the head, when they had nothing to do with the build?

The person was warned (i was there) and he obviously didn't listen.

service my own car.. as i am a mechanic.. i fix my own things.. whateva i cant do i send to CREATD.. cant speak highly enough of them.. Handling, the car goes to Centreline.. Very good setups and workmanship.

I know how alot of mechanics and workshops are.. know the ins and outs.. so the only people i would really trust is the guys at CREATD..

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
