Well what a day I had, I took my Car (VR Commodore) to "THE BRAKE SHOPP" In Brendale north Brisbane to get a Oil leak fixed in the Auto Transmission. Now, I have had this problem for over 2 years, so I decided to fix it. I have done my own diagnosis and have found out EXACTLY where the oil is coming from. It comes out only after the car has been idle for three days (oil drains back from the converter), or when you jack the passengers side of the car a foot off the ground, so the oil goes to one side. Now the oil is escaping from the wiring harness socket that feeds the electronics inside the gear box. Now, this socket is either cracked or the O-ring is defective. Once taking it to the Brake Stopp I explained to them very vigorously where the oil is coming from but no not them, they look for other ways of finding oil leaks. They said the oil is coming from the speed sensor etc etc and they found the rear mount to be defective.What a lof of crap!!!, there is nothing wrong with the speed sensor, nor the rear gearbox mount. All they are trying to do is get a little extra along the way. Now you remember I came in here for an oil leak problem, after they completed and I had to part with $319.00 I told them this will not fix the problem, so I went home, jacked the car up with the floor jack on the passengers side and within 20 minutes oil started to spew out of the socket. I rang this prick up and told him that I was correct and he was wrong and he said bring it in and we will fix it for another $300.00 plus. Fair dinkum!! Now, remember I did not go there for a transmission service, nor to change the mount or the speed sensor, so all this shit was done and I was still left with the oil leak. Now the Department of Fair trading tells you you can take him to the small claims tribunal but is it worth it??? But I can tell you one thing thats worth is.... I will spend the next 10 fucking years, I don't care where I am, I will change the subject and I will redirect it to motor vehicles and repairers and I will clearly mention to all my friends and relatives in Brisbane where NOT to take your car for a service UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!!! And because I am a lot older than the rest of the family and friends, they always respect and listen to me. I spent 4 hours in this butcher shop and he had not one other customer come in. If he cons his customers like he conned me, you wonder why the shop was empty and he has to stoop to such unethical ways to make a dollar. This will not stop here and I have realised that the power of the media is good because I would not like it to happen to any of my friends and family. There are other sites on the web today and they will get a copy of this post. If I can stop one person getting his car serviced there, I have won!!!!!!!!<br /><br />Thumbs down to the rip off merchants.<br />God help anyone who doesn't know cars and takes it to a workshop similar to this shark.<br /><br />Phil<br /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/default/smile.gif" />
