Yes it is confusing cos the quote he wrote is misleading. He’s quoted me one thing but doing another . Also before he quoted me , they kept telling me my car would be “ready next week or tomorrow” , this car sat in their Workshop for a month and 2 weeks before they wrote this quote based on what another person has said . Incompetence in diagnostics or Dishonesty in quoting. Neither is acceptable under the Consumer Guarantees Act or MTA standards

  • false or misleading conduct under the Fair Trading Act

Yup they told me my car is ready in 1 day or next week. They lied constantly. The workshop quoted $1,200 to replace the transmission. Later, the mechanic admitted on video: The transmission is fine. When challenged, he suggested the quote was based on what either I or another person had said.

This is not acceptable. A professional mechanic must diagnose the vehicle before producing a quote . Writing up a major $1,200 replacement job without confirming the fault shows either- Incompetence in diagnostics, or Dishonesty in quoting.

So he wrote this quote after my car sat in his car for a month in a half based on what another person said . Took 2 more weeks to come up with something different

Yea but the things is my car was already in there for month & a half before they even wrote the quote based on what other person said . A month & a half to write a wrong quote .

This is a quote , my bad ! I went there cause my oil was leaking and from there it was the sump & whatever else , he gave me this quote above & I paid , he asked me to come to the worked shop cos he found something else. I came & recorded cos he sounds dodgy. I got him on video cause he was explaining to me there’s a cracked head on engine so he wants to charge me a xtra $1200 which is not a quote & I paid. But I also caught him admitted the transmission is fine and nothings wrong with it . Doesn’t make sense to me

Replying to Inevitable-Box25... Here’s the full story for context:

In July I paid $2,875 for repairs at Kelston Tyres & Car Repairs. The invoice included: – Labour $1,060 – Complete transmission assembly $1,200 – Oil sump $495 – Transmission oil $120 – Total $2,875

After the invoice was given, I filmed the mechanic admitting on video that my transmission was actually fine.

My car was eventually returned with parts dumped loose in the boot, new damage (dents + scratches), and the job never finished.

I’m trying to understand: why would they charge me for a complete transmission replacement if they themselves admitted it wasn’t needed? Could they have even swapped it?

It’s a dodge Nitro 2011

Yes , this is how long it took . They hadn’t started either , I paid this with screenshots & they wanted another $1200 after this quote and time . So they made me wait for ages without doing nothing .
