alot of dealers do this to avoid having the car they sold you being returned and make lies about the vehicle you give them

if i was you reject the car and get your car back and go elsewhere

they cant touch you so why worry you not going to return to uk

if you not clued up on repairing yourself you need to think the cost of having exhaust and bumper fixed and long as you haven't done further damage to the car otherwise your throwing money into a car that should be scrapped

if it was me i buy it back and fix myself but exhaust are cheap to get fixed anyway but if you ask a garage to fix bumper they might take the mick and charge you stupid money so you really need to have a good think that is it best to take money and buy another up to you really

look like the company as shut Permanently closed

Part worn you been ripped off I get £20 tyre fitted without issue for 2years and decent brand aswell

xxxxxxxxxxx

Have you checked is reg to see if he has insurance on askmid as there is people driving without insurance as they think they won't get caught

Actually that's incorrect they do fail I've had headlight aim fail and sorted and I've had ball joint and other parts fail and showed mot fail 

But if you think garage are doing a fast one I either goto the garage and check myself or ask to see the old parts 

If a garage say it failed you end up asking how much to fix then they fix and do new mot if you can afford or not worth it

that why alot of cars get a new mot with no advisory's when they should fail or have notes theres a few in my area where they was selling a getz 2yrs ago my dad wanted me to look at and it had cracked cv boot and 2 tyres near limit and pads and disc need doing and mot showed clean and when i told manager he said my mot guy would never lie to me about need work doing and i just laughed and said i know how garages work you dick and he shut up

and i viewed a c2 last year and 2 back tyres where cracked and i mean really cracked and engine was pissing oil from rocker cover and it passed it mot 

let guess zone use to be 30mph but you still decided to speed idiot hope one day you knock someone down and get sent down

scoobys are very known for issues mainly engine failure you want reliable you shouldn't of got one

ye always best to get quotes before ringing insurance

most likely the garage did a fake invoice to say it had a new gearbox 

well hope you get your money back

you need proof that it was already blanked and if you believe it shouldn't of passed mot get vosa involved

or buy a slow car 

bet a garage would of repaired that for less then £200 and you wouldnt of had to declare it

this is problem with insurance they very cheeky at ripping people off and not tell they are auctioning the vehicle

also do review checks on companys

ive heard this many times learnt my lesson only lesson you learnt is not to speed at m6 toll

well if the pads where near limit they should of stated that the pads on the limit but if the pads where looking below the limit they should of failed the mot so it seems the mechanics are clueless that you took it to

shoes would be a lie because they don't take the wheels or drums off to check life span on shoes and shoes do last alot of mileage my car as 100k on a picanto and still dont need replacing

wont suprise me if the garage didn't even change the rear shoes and if i was you dont take it to the garage you used from now on take elsewhere

also if i was you leave a bad review on google maps of the garage and did you check the reviews before taking it to that garage

well i wouldnt think about it because you wont know if he has been sent down and i doubt he be sent down 

i use to know a mate years ago who robbed cars and got caught loads and never got sent down even smacked a police officer and rammed a cop car and he was 25

cant you do a check where the company address is 

this is problem with the uk many garages are doing company name changes like the garage in london ripping people off that was on watchdog changed over 5times 

there need to be a law if you get caught ripping people off and close business you cant open another

thats the problem with crashed cars they done proper or they done by a diy person just to make money and thats what happened to you

you should of asked who did the repair or proof it was done by a professional well known garage

thing is i think you might after take them court because theres more and more traders that fobbing people off and end up in court

i wouldnt worry on former keepers just on a car i wouldnt go past 5 and must have service history

well i had a mate few year ago he was 4x times over limit when he crashed into a lamp post and he just got fined and ban for 2years

also i think it depends on judge

well now with this covid they will want to avoid sending people prison unless its a serious one
