Garage said it was jumping a cog. They said way to fix it is a new engine. It was a local garage. Im more concerned the fact the car is now not running at all after they've taken it apart.0

Bought the car from auction 1 month ago. I mean against the garage. The car drove great apart from misfire.
ah ok im afriad most auction car are sold as seen on the spot as faras i am aware also they really aimed at the motor traders who can afford to buy like that as they have trade contacts with garages so can get work done a lot cheaper that the public can, which works well for garages as when they are quite the traders keep them ticking over“People are caught up in an egotistic artificial rat race to display a false image to society. We want the biggest house, fanciest car, and we don't mind paying the sky high mortgage to put up that show. We sacrifice our biggest assets our health and time, We feel happy when we see people look up to us and see how successful we are”

What car is it and what did you pay for it?
I would be worried too - they should of at least timed it up properly for £300.0 -
Yes I understand that about the auction. Its the garage I have the issue with, charging £300 and now the car won't go at all. So I put the car in running and now it doesn't run, and he wants £300.0

They do have to do some stripping to find out what the problem is BUT they also have to put things back how they found them just in case the customer does not want the car fixing but before they put things back they call said customer to confirm which way to go
it look like the garage you have used is a bunch of clowns who do not have a system on how they go about dealing and fixing cars ( i work on cars in a garage and never seen this happen if it did i would be peed off)“People are caught up in an egotistic artificial rat race to display a false image to society.
