Garage have had car for a month - promised week max - looking dodgy

[paulfoel]

Reason for claim:

Car was booked in to Mr Thomas' garage several weeks in advance. At the time, a discussion was held as to how the vehicle would be transported to Mr Thomas' premises. Mr Thomas advised me that collecting the car would be no problem. At the time the car was booked in, no mention was made of a "Recovery charge" to collect the vehicle. I would argue that it would have been fair for Mr Thomas to make this clear at the time. The charge made of £100 is much more than the going rate. Again, I would argue that it would have been fair for Mr Thomas to make it clear at the time that collection of the vehicle would be at a premium cost.

Thank you.

Now to clean up the thread, please would you list which number posts don't belong here and I'll split them off.

 

Also you mentioned a small claim and I asked you twice to post up the claim form but you haven't addressed this

#5 onwards. sorry I cut/paste claim form in post #18.

I'm sorry but this is becoming unnecessarily difficult. You have referred me to post number 18 but on my screen that seems to be a post which has been written by somebody else. I would like you to post your claim form if you have issued a claim. Please don't refer me to some other post. I'd like to understand the whole story so I can then give you a competent advice.

 

 

Frankly this is becoming so complicated that I think the best thing to do will be to close this thread and for you to begin another thread. Please then start telling the story carefully in full detail in a bullet pointed chronology.
