    Hi all
    im looking for some advice on this..

    I handed my Audi in for repair to a garage ,who quoted me 630 euro ..
    i went back a month later(they were waiting for parts ) and was told it had gone up to 1,600 euro...

    they said that it needed much more labour and other work needed doing..i never agreed this with them

    after much wrangling and 7 months later they now want 2800 euro for storage and legal fees..
    i have asked them to put this in an email but they refuse...

    there is a bit more to this but i wont bore ye with the details..:D

    my question is what are my rights /what can i do to get my car back?

    a month,..............parts..............630.....................1600..................months.....
    ...................2800........................storage.......... you must be nice....they are taking the pi55, totally. You are 7 months too late to be asking questions. People with sounder minds than mine will post shortly with rational courses of action. I am going to lie down and try not to think about this and just how wrong it really is, on many levels.

    Did you go on holidays or something?

    Storage Fees? They should be paying you for the depreciation suffered in 7 months. What the hell could possibly take 7 months?
    Was it a DTM Audi A4 or something non standard?

    its an audi A6..As for taking holidays that didnt happen..

    there is a lot more to this ..there is a lack of commuaction bewteen the partners in the garage,one is irish and the other hungarain who thinks that all irish are trying to rip him off ,i have brought the guards down to them on the advice of a solictior and he has it in for me since then(even going to the point of telling me he is in the underground etc etc etc)

    i have met his partner in a local petrol sation and we shaked hands on a deal etc etc but the other guy backed out...



    i have tried talking to find a solution and in the meantime get mobile..

    Ya what?? Play nice, no idea who you are, and care less, but no need to get mouthy, pretend like it's real life, and be polite to strangers. :)

    ^ like I said OP, sound advice will follow shortly. ^^There's a bit of sound advice. Once it starts to get personal and not business, especially with people who claim "underground connections", it's time to lawyer up. How the mechanic is connected to the Tube is a mystery to me tho. Sounds like a scam artist altogether, but then as the coyle lad said, what would I know.:) Real gangsters tend not to go around announcing it to all in sundry though, most people just know without anything being said.
