sold dodgy car with no refund

ammalik786

hi, I would be grateful for any advice. I brought a car from a garage 2 weeks ago for £4000. car was smoking badly and therefore I got it secice by kwik fit and got an independant report done. findings were injector issue, turbo pipe leak, brake discs under limit, tyres under limit and clutch slipping. Ive contacted the dealerti reject but he's being funny and not assisting. after many letters I've now filed for small claims court. do I have any chance? any assistance much appreciated

Yes you have a chance, you will win as 30 days rejection rights are absolute even with used cars as long as you were not made aware of the issues.


Getting the garage to pay is another matter.

Get a report done from an independant garage.

Never, EVER, take your car to Kwik Fitt - these monkeys will proper spank you.

Sounds like a turbo diesel- did these faults not manifest themselves on the test drive and your inspection of the vehicle?

Why? I'm fairly confident a court would accept a report from Kwikfit. They are technically a professional company after all.

I got another one done just in case but the dodgy trader still won't believe me...really stuck now

the id**ot isn't even replying now. I dependant report shows tyres illegal, brake caliper seized, injector fault, turbo leak, heavy blue smoking etc. he should really be behind bars!!!
