    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi all. I have bought Michelin tyres front set from Kwikfit. I chose decent brand and AAA class.
Went to local kwikfit to have them installed, they put my car on jig... and then told me they dont have those tyres in stock.
So, I was forced to buy more expensive grade Michelin tyres.

Short story, went to Poland to visit my ill Dad, Europ trip, motorways only, and if you ever travelled through Germany, their motorways are immaculate.
Checked my tyres as few times they failed to grip the road and i blamed it on temperature (32C, road surface pobably in 60sC) .
I have noticed chip marks on the tyre shoulder. Pieces of shoulder thread missing, holes, damages.

Went to kwikfit with complain as only done 6000 on my new tyres. They refused any responsibility, told my to contact Michelin.
Said i damaged them on curbs - truth is, my home is on RHS, so the RHS tyre would be damaged but not BOTH!!


Also, i had Pirelli tyres previously for 4 years, and had no issues - I always chose top shelf, as lasting longer and safety comes first!


Offered to send my tyres to Michelin but, i would have to buy new tyres from them or put the car on Y stands for a month or more...

Seriously so fed up with the whole situation...

How long ago did Kwikfit fit these tyres?

Just a year ago. But the mileage was 40k when fitted, its 46k now... and they are seriously worn out on shoulders. Refused my complaint, quoted CRA 2015, they are not bothered.
Company policy... no no no no ...

Sent a message to Michelin and they advised me to use another tyre dealer and lay a claim with Michelin.
They may partially compensate me to get new tyres or issue new tyres to me.
Kwikfit is absolute oh deary me!. There was a really good manager for last 10 years, and I had good discount on 2 or 4 tyres, but the new one "owns" it, so to say.... Company man. 
They just lost a customer 😛 And i will spread the word too...
