C**plete Au*o Down Ne Rd Is Sh*t

[ArenaGTR]

Been waiting for 8 weeks for my car at the compliance place, in the end they said they can't do my car! WTF? Ok, now it comes to the story where I picked up my car this week monday to work on some of the stuff, first thing I saw my car at Compl*t* A*to was, "OIL", literally "OIL" all over my car, obviously they have cars that was on the hoist parked above my car, with serious oil leaks, and later that night after I serviced the car (changed oil + spark plugs) I went to wash the car to make sure it's clean, guess what, found two new scratches one located at rear RH panel, one on the front bumper lip (AGAIN!) but instead it's on the top of the lip, so obviously they have dropped the tools or something onto it.

OH! there's more, my mechanic friend had a look at the oil sump etc, he was like dude you've got a lil bit of oil leaks out there! I am like f**k! but at the end of the night we found out that, it wasn't even a single problem related to oil leaks, it was just oil sitting there not being cleaned up after they changed the oil! guess who? it was THEM! yes THEM! when they changed the freaking oil filter they just let the oil dripping all over my trans and everything! my mechanic friend kept on shacking his head saying that "These guys are f**king dodgy, they dont look after your car at all!", and now comes to engine bay, cuz this car was being prepared for regency inspection, they cut wires and just let it out there hanging without even ziptied, WTF? how can they do that? I am so pissed.

Anyways, my car is being transferred to another compliance centre, which on tuesday I went to see them and told them the story what happened to my car! they said "Oh the scratches could have been there when it was picked up at the docks", I am like, nope! I've got photos to back me up! and guess what they said, bring the car to them next week, they will see the problem and "TOUCH IT UP for a bit"! man that bit just scared the shit out of me? as I heard they got a paint spray tool just at the back of the shed which they would say to you "yup, we will take care of it, we will bring the car to someone else to do a good job" but rather they will do it themselves, which is totally dodgy as.

Now they also want to charge me for putting all my aftermarket parts back as my car has got all the original parts now for regency inspection, but really, do I need to pay them that crap? like they have done nothing to my car rather than changing oil + oil filter, and the oil level was so low that my dip stick has just got like 3mm oil shown on it? Dodgy? YOU BET!

I've had enough, moderators, please let this msg stay here for a while, I am just in pain seeing my car being tortured by those cops and I just wanna express my anger here and to WARN OTHERS. F*** them! F*** the shop. Thank you

When i had my car imported it was complied through these guys. They seem very dodgy but they done it all correct and no problems.

Only thing was the car took 5 weeks to comply, something about doTars in NSW.

But yeah, i wouldnt take my car there again.

I have spoken to the manager - Erwin, guess what, he's denying it, and saying the damage was probably there at docks, he said: "we will have a good look at the car next week, and then we will "touch it up" for ya..... fark dat shit....??

Seriously how can companies like that operate, 8 weeks is bullshit and then to say they cant fix it.. thats real poor form. If I were you I would be giving Consumer Affairs a call and report them.

I thought you weren't ment to name the place you have bad dealings with on SAU??

Can only PM people about the place as this is a public site..

I know your pain and I am sure that we have all had a bad experience with a workshop

But what has happened to you is not fair but it does not mean that others will get treated the same!

Think you should edit your post and take the name of the workshop off the forum..As it is against the rules of SAU

Understandable, and I've edited my post, however when u said not everyone is being treated the same? I have to say, it's actually not true, there's a guy who bought a R34 GTT from my partner, he waited for 7 weeks, he just got his car back on road like last week?!? I actually met that guy at the docks the same time I picked up my GTR.....

I've asked many other people around, they have stated that the owner is dodgy, even my current partner who sent many cars thru them has got paint scratched problems! so it's not just me, it's happening to everyone!!!

if its 100% true that its their fault, then by all mean, post the NAME of the business to warn others

bad businesses should not be protected imo
