Hi, I haven't been here for ages.

I'm wondering if other people have had problems with garages (especially the
ladies). Several months ago, I took my car in for bodywork and we agreed a
price. later the guy rang and said some more work needed to be done. We agreed
on the price. I rang again to ask if it was finished and mentioned the price
again, it was fine. When I arrived, he'd hiked the price up. I wrote a letter
explaining that I'd withheld the difference (a very small amount and the reason
why). I also mentioned that other people had told me they'd experienced the same
problem with him. Not only that, the car arrived days late, without a water
thingy for the windscreen and with a defective headlamp. I also had to waste a
few hours in a round trip + petrol to have the water holder put back in. The job
on the bodywork still isn't finished. I'd been to this place before and not
encountered any problems.

I never heard anything back from him(no letter, no call), until last night,
where I bumped into him at a meet outside a public place. He was obnoxiously
rude and threatening and said that he'd sent people around to my property to
collect the money. this morning I contacted the Police with regards to
harassment and verbal abuse, I also contacted Trading Standards.
