To cut a long story short, I paid in excess of 1k to have the starter motor and fly wheel replaced on a 2000 Renault Scenic.
Two weeks later the car failed to start, I towed it back to the mechanic, fixed it, two weeks later same problem, then twice more since. The car is now with the mechanic for the fifth time, and each time my wife and 3 young macs ( all under 4) are left without transport for days on end.
I sense he was never that compfortable doing the job in the first place (apparently on a Renault Scenic Automatic, this was a remove the engine job) and am beginning to wonder just what damage he has done to the whole starter/auto transmission.
I am debating whether to cut and run, get the car collected by tow truck and brought to a main dealer to ge the whole thing sorted out. I'm down a load of dosh however, and can't really afford to pay the main dealer another fortune.
If I cut and run, what chance of taking the guy to the small claims court ?
