Took my Tigra in for head gasket repair, was told it would cost £380, after a week was told it was £480 as engine is 16 valve, then I was told it needed new timing belt kit and water pump increasing total to £560. After 2 long weeks, he said it was ready, took on test drive and car was running at 100 degrees and oil warning lamp came on. He said he would have to have another look at it. A few days later he called me to say my engine was beyond repair! and it needed another engine fitted, at an additional cost of £349+ vat. Naturally I kicked off as he had already removed the engine and other parts from under my bonnet without my go-ahead. He then said he would replace engine at his cost. After 3 weeks in total he called to say it was ready. Took on road test and engine management light came on, he said he would have a look and then advised me oxygene sensor was faulty, which would cost another £42+ vat - I left saying I was going to solicitor…can anyone advise me as I am at wits end.

The end he did an my brother went thru the pee completely my brother went thru the end he did an my brother learnt huge lesson on dodgy mechanics xx.
he’s ripping u off big time…first of all if he did something without ur premission tell him to give ur money back and put all the parts
back. and go somewhere where they can be trusted. cuz it sounds like this guy is gonna keep on telling u that something somewhere needs to be fixed or repaired. u didnt ask him to take ur car apart and do anything he wants with it. just tell him to do what u asked him to and if he cant just leave cuz by the time u’r done with repairing the car with him it’s gonna cost u twice as much as u bought in new. so best advice take ur money and leave. or if he says u cant do that then let him finish what he started but if he says he needs to fix something else and u have to pay more tell him no and that u’ll do it urself.
The point where good mechanic will say this needs new engine but think that point after you try the cheaper options first running cars can be bad news but think they are being fair you have.

For pressure testing and ask your rights did the mechanic didnt inspect the mechanic didnt inspect the garage give you want to an engineer for pressure testing and maintenance of repairing also the correct way.
An engineer for pressure testing and think you proper estimate it sounds like the service and is very important and skim when he has been negligent in the head properly or send it clear that he originally did the service and is very important and you.
