QUOTE(^sims^ @ Aug 14 2006, 10:10 AM) [snapback]1280150106[/snapback] Seeing as though it doesnt seem like its been answered.. how much was quoted for this job? I can just imagine you were searching for a cheap retrim.. IMHO, to do that properly you'd be looking at paying atleast $9,000. I get the feeling that's not what you were planning on paying  Can someone PM me who did this please (and the quote, if they know) This poor guy's inbox must be chockers! After showing everyone here at work (and taking copious amounts of piss out of it), we've all decided that it's more than woeful  We'd NEVER let anything like this leave our workshop.. Good luck getting it all sorted

(don't be lazy and ask me to pm you  your the one who wants to know lol )The cost of the job was quoted at $5500. Only a $1000 deposit was paid when the car was dropped off. The job was supposed to take 3-4 weeks, we were able to contact him about week 3 and he said, yeah another week. when we tried to contact him after that there was no answer, no reply, nothing for 2 weeks. thats when we went looking for him and the car. There is no point in sueing him, we only paid $1000 and a judge could easily say that we should have at least paid for the materials used at a cost of $1800 or whatever, so we would be even more out of pocket. However, there isnt really much stopping this guy just closing his shop today, and re-opening tomorrow under a different name - then there is nothing to sue.  As far as roadworthy, see the pic of the steering wheel? the airbag mechinism needs replacing now, and the seatbelt lower anchors arnt there to connect the front seatbelts to. the engine is making a shocking noise (sounds like an induction howl but its comming from the engine, not the air intake -and there is no pod) The car is at a mechanics atm who is quoting how much it will be to take the car back to a roadworthy standard, i'll let you all know how it goes when i find out. And as said previously, this job was done by someone who had some pretty nice work in the past, and had done some sweet show cars.. so this was certainly not expected. Isn't the cost of materials etc. offset by the damage/loss in value he has caused by giving the car such a shonky trim and thrashing it? Have you sought legal advice on the matter? |

Bringing up the price quoted is kind of irrelevant here. |

I wouldnt pay for that job But i know who the trimmer was, and many of you who haved bagged it out have also drooled over his previous works many times "it must be true, it was on the internet!" what is it that you don't understand? feel free to pm me any questions i wouldn't exactly say any of his previous work was drool-able... good, but not that good. its like a quality control issue, some companys used to make nice cakes, and the quality just went to shit over the years... it happens with almost every business in just about every industry regarding any product. |
