supra_si Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Had the car in for a cam belt and fan belt change, just popped my head in the garage as its been there since half nine this morning, They just said that they cant fit it as they cant lock the gears as its an auto and the part from toyota costs 90+ vat. they said to come back in an hour when they will put the fan and a new fanbelt i have supplied back on. Can they still charge me the labour that it would have taken to actually fit the cambelt even though they havent? now i have to get it booked in at toyota to get the cam belt changed ggrgrrrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 the garage sounds incompetent to me mate. You certainly shouldnt be charged labour for something they havent done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_si Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 well its only 2 1/2 hours labour, just depends what toyota charge per hour up here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 id imagine you would need to pay some labour for what work has been done, but surely it shouldnt be the same amount as if they had done the full cambelt change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Si, these sound like a bunch of fools. We are right on your doorstep mate, don't take it there again.

merckx Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I wouldn't even trust them with an oil change if they cannot even change the timing belt on an auto car. Any decent garage could fabricate their own tools for doing this sort of job if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
