Hi there,
I recently had the timing belt changed on my car. 2 days after I got it back, it had some serious issues starting to the point where it doesn’t go. The mechanic came out to take a look at it and said I would need to get it towed to their garage.
I paid the tow fee to their garage. They thought they had fixed the issue,however, they quickly realised that they hadn’t and that they were stumped and that we would need to get the car towed to Holden where they can run specialist tests.
I have paid to have it towed again and now Holden are indicating that it may be an issue caused by the other mechanic incorrectly fitting the timing belt. Can I seek compensation from the first mechanic if this is the case?
