rejecting a car bought from a garage

funnymonkey

Good evening.

I am after a little advice regarding rejecting a car bought from a local garage that developed a fault within 30 days and reported within that timeframe, but has now gone beyond the 30 days as I gave them time to repair which has not been completed satisfactorily so I now wish to reject and return the car under the consumer rights 2015 act.

The car is booked into a garage tomorrow morning for a diagnosis as it continues to have brown discoloured coolant after a coolant flush 2 weeks ago and also looses coolant. With no leaks present I conclude that a head gasket faultis likely.Should I attend the garage or just reject the car as this will be the 2nd visit to the garage having owned the car 5 weeks but initially reported the fault within 30 days?

I am not sure what terminology to use in this instance and whether I can also claim for travelling costs to work via taxi until my money is refunded and I am able to buy another car?

Thank you in advance

How did you pay for the car and was it frim a main dealer or a 'back street dealer'.

It's not as easy as it should be to reject a used car (how old was it) especially if a small garage and you could end up rejecting it and getting no money back.

the car is a 15 plate car purchased from a local dealer (not a main dealer) that has been there years. Paid by bank transfer.

Thanks
