Yeah, I'm inclined to get the work done.
The quote to reassemble as-is is ridiculous, I reckon they might have pulled a high number out of the air to encourage me to get the work done. Once the work's completed then it's hopefully in good shape - up to date with servicing, Yokohama tyres 4 months old, genuine 75,000 k's on the clock - reckon it'd be worth $150. Here's the content of an email they sent to me re: warranty on parts and workmanship: ======================================= Good morning Greg, As per our phone discussion this morning all parts listed on invoice provided on collection will have a warranty from the manufacture of 12 months or 20,000km (whichever comes first) & workmanship warranty on repairs carried out is 6 months or 20,000km (whichever comes first). Kind regards, Emma ====================================== |

6 months labor warranty is pretty rubbish :(

I thought about this after. I guess you'll know pretty well immediately if they've done the job right, and installed the seals correctly. That's the important thing, and the warranty on the seals themselves. With hindsight 6 months on the labour is probably ok.

Just chiming in with an update - I bit the bullet and gave Byrne Ford the go ahead to do the work as quoted.
I was without the car for a week. They reckon they're booked out for 4 weeks, and they did my car around their other jobs. It's running smooth and seems a little quieter, although that might be my imagination, thinking that a $3,100 spend might result in a better drive. It's not leaking any fluid. It's 11years old and I think I might unload it while it's worth something. Redbook's valuation is $6000 to $7700. I went on to Carsales and threw some info in to get an Instant Offer price, which came back as $6,200. I'm tempted to go for that and unload it before something else goes on the blink. Thanks for the advice guys. This is a good forum, no argy bargy or disrespect, friendly members keen to help, gotta love that. |
