even worse is why did they have to take out my intercooler?

They may have had to undo the engine mounts and move the motor around a little to get the box bolts so that would explain loosening the cooler.

Just don't get how the injectors would start leaking or why they would have had to be touched in any way.

Unless the back of the rail hit the firewall or something silly but its pretty unlikely!

just be careful what is said online as they can do you for deformation of character etc....

what r u on about, they can't do u 4 telling the truth about something when u have proof, that's the craziest thing I've ever heard. It's OP who actually has the right to sue the business the way they damaged his property and didn't provide the right service he payed 4, hopefully the loose there business license from this

Actually they can because their is a lack of substantial evidence. Best case scenario, OP gets his case thrown out for naming and shaming. Worst case, they come after him for public defamation and loss of earnings.

What the OP needs to do is create substantial evidence as to how the work conducted by the workshop has destroyed the vehicle. When you factor in that it's a 10+ year old car, driven by someone who would be stereotyped as a 'hoon,' it makes the case a little harder. The onus will be on the OP to provide the required evidence which means talking to a proper mechanic and getting them to write up an expert witness testimonial which will explain in laymans terms why this shouldn't be happening.

Actually they can. Hence the way OP has handled this in a professional manner!

Lol my spelling was useless!

Working with lawyers you know you have given the shop first right of repair.

Contact fair trading and pursue this. It's not acceptable.

In the meantime have your skyline repaired or quoted by another reputable shop (Quote/Receipts)

Wait for the hearing and see how you go. I am sure you will do well.

I have seen 2 businesses in my area fold through lack of trade after similar poor workmanship :D

Your rant is perfectly valid and a number of us have experienced similar treatment and frustrations.

Yup. This would be the way to handle it. It might be easier to go through QCAT?

Yes. http://www.qcat.qld.gov.au/about-qcat/publications/qcat-annual-report-2009-10/minor-civil-disputes-overview

MTAQ may also be able to help if the said shop is a member

I have 3 quick ones..

R32 skyline - Just bought it, had suspension looked at/identified + a rear strut bar fixed up (was missing bolts etc)

Mum drive it home.. Lol, still in my P's

Anyway noticed bonnet wasn't shut properly.. The dampening was the opposite to left/right haha and my bar wasn't touched. $180.... Took it back, all goods :)

Corolla - got wheels put on, woke up to go to work, wheel fell off, f*cked my hub n sh!t they were alright.. Payed for it to get fixed :)

Ford festiva 93 (first car) - regular service, engine seized about 20ks down the road...

This was my fault apparently... Worst service ever, I knew as soon as I went in ahaha, oh well.

Sump bolt wasn't tightend? Or they just didn't bother to fill her up.. I'm not sure $270

BUT.. Get this haha someone rear ended the poor little festy and I got insurance ahahaa! Woo

Maybe the workshop identified who 1st built your car ( Coil Cover ) and decided to dick you around because the workshop you went to got burned and dicked around by the other shop displayed on your cover ....no names.

Just a thought nothing aimed at you mate.

still...thats not professional. y shd they mess with him just because previously he went to a workshop they didnt like?

exactly as you said, it's not professional.

some shops are quite childish.

and its only a theory.

isnt it?

    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
