hi there

just got home from work to find a message from garage regarding my car which is in to have 4 new tyres fitted.

 

The garage owner gave my car to somone this morning thinking it was his courtesy car which is the same make as mine. it wont be back until 5pm tonight so tyres wont be fitted. and ill have no car for another day. having to borrow partners.

 

Im not happy as you can imagine but not sure on what my next course of action is,

 

My car is ony insured for myself and partner to drive also it has a very dangerous bald tyre hence why it was in to have new tyres fitted.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

You almost certainly have a claim against the garage and so does the person who is driving the vehicle at the moment, even more so if there is an accident.

 

I will try and find some more information for you. It is incredibly worrying that the garage could make such an error !

You would have thought that the garage would have contacted the other driver to exchange your car for the garage car whenever the error was noticed.

 

Now, it seems that the garage either work late tonight to fit the new tyres to your car, or give you the courtesy car for tomorrow free of charge while they fit the tyres

to your car.

hi there just a quick update.

my partner went down to the garage and had a big moan about it, the owner at first was just aplologetic etc but in the end agreed to cutting the bill for the 4 tyres in half and also on my last mot i had an advisory which he has agreed to fixing free.

 

He also give us a few extras de icer and some road maps so to be honest we were happy with that.

 

Every thing has been logged with the garage just incase the guy who was driving my car was speeding.

 

thanks everyone who replied.

 

i will be using the garage again because mistakes do happen and we are only human.
