Be nice when you visit , if no satisfaction unload on them.

[Statler]

Update: I've paid a rwc inspector to do a visual of the vehicle & supply a written report. 

 

I now have his report. It's worse than i expected. 

[fatslr]

Hey Col that doesn't sound too good ,hopefully you can hold brake place accountable?

Better to identify and rectify now than have failure later

Best of luck mate

[Tiny]

Fark Mate,

i cannot believe what you are going through!!

 

It would be chaper to send the fkn thing down here and get some people down here to finish it and get it done right!!

these guys sound like clowns! Extortionate clowns at that!!

[Potta]

Get your money back at least mate, that's bullsh!t

[Mort]

FrOck mate did you run over a Chinaman at some stage, you're having nothing but bad luck lately.

 

Hope you get some satisfaction from BB, money back would be good then try the other brake shop.

 

Still waiting for pics.

[Statler]

Here's the report.

 

[Rob2408]

I've seen the work performed first hand.....there will be no way in hell I'll ever take any of my vehicles to this company.

Any updates Col?

I'm back from work, will try and catch up early in the week.

[Ice]

frOckin butchers thats what they are

[Potta]

Yeah its not a fr0ckin Hyundai!

[Statler]

Well ........ it's official. Purple will NOT be at Toranarama. 

 

Only 1 thing to do, pull the engine & do the job right.

 

It will give me the opportunity to re do the brake pipes, fix/remove the fan cowl, run the fuel lines & set up most of the wiring. 

 

 

Oh the joys of building a car! 

[hanra]

What exactly needs to be re-done?

[Statler]

When i can get the pics from my camera into the pc i will post them. The duo card reader isn't working.

[Potta]

Don't give up Col, there's still time.

 

And with the money you save by doing it yourself, you can buy a small island somewhere.

[Shiney005]

Don't let grubs like this get away with it. If they can't do the work to an Australian standard then they should get out of town.
It doesn't matter if it is a Hyundai, Torana, or Kenworth. This is brakes we are talking about!!!

[Mort]

WTF, don't do this to me, i'm having trouble finding motivation as it is without you pulling out.

 

Not being selfish just bummed it won't be finished in time.

 

Are you still going down without Purple.

 

Not good to hear Col, hope you have some good luck to be able to get it finished.

[Statler]

Check this out. They are going to re do it.

[N/A-PWR]

So they should Col.

and a couple of line clamps wouldn't go astray hey

let alone nicely styled brake lines

[Tiny]

Shit a brick, I reckon a 5 year old could do better than that! Sorry col, stating the obvious I know, but holy shit mate, and they had the gall to charge for that?

[hanra]

Is there any reason the engine bay brake line can't follow the original route around the back of the engine?

[Swarbs]

$1700 ??? Dont give it back to them - take the shit off including there shitty little cable ties walk in and throw it on the floor in front of them and demand your money back

Including the pads that are soaked in fluid

 

Did they actualy run flex line to the front calipers?

 

I hate shit like this

 

Take Bombers offer and drink some beer

[slar]

Man thats one nasty job.....should be ashamed of themselves

[Mort]

WHAT THE frOck, i can't believe they charged you for that and consider it a job well done, you could have done a better job yourself, and saved a squillion.

 

Take Bomber up on his offer, one weekend, many beverages (after job done) and hey presto a better and cheaper job.

 

I am so glad i chose the other brake shop to make my brake lines, i nearly went to BB instead.
