Car problems

    Have read the charter and I hope im not breaking any rules here...not looking for advice just opinions on possible defences.

    I drive a toyota and with all the recent recalls I was thinking to myself what would happen if your car broke down and you took it to the local garage to be fixed and paid a fortune and then you recieve a letter saying there was a problem with that batch of cars and to bring it to the gargae for repair...how could the garage get out of not repaying you what was you paid?

    You're throwing two situations into the same pot - you'd get a garage to service the car and next day the brand (Toyota) tells you that they'd like to fix something based on a recall and would you mind bringing the car to a local approved garage to get the issue sorted? You're suggesting that the recall will pay for your service/repair after the event.

    If your original repair was related to the recall issue then it would be covered under the recall but this never happens.

    The hypothetical scenario that you're painting is that you hand over a bundle of money to fix a problem which is subsequently dealt with by a recall, this just doesn't happen.

    Im dont quite understand that response? what im saying is lets say my car breaksdown and needs a new engine because the water pump isnt working and I go spend a fortune putting in a new engine it was later found by Toyata that there was a problem with the water pump.

    So, I go back to my local Toyata garage and tell thm ive already had that problem fixed and it cost me 1,000 euro could they say they wont reimburse me for what ive already paid?
