Warning - Blacktown (NSW) Opposite Lock In Liquidation

Hi Brett H,

I have spoken to the liquidator twice in the last 2 days.

The liquidator has clearly identified which trailer is mine as he was told by the business owner, and I am about to forward to them a copy of my registration papers as proof.

My problem is not "IF" I will get my trailer back, but "WHEN" I will get the trailr back and in what condition.

It is only a case of how much work was done to the trailer before the liquidators moved in (I am assuming nothing was done)

At best, all works were completed, at worst nothing was done. Maybe the liquidator may give me the parts that were ordered for the trailer and I can install them myself.

We will have to wailt & see

Thanks

TonyG

Hi Truckster,

I booked in to get work done on my car and my trailer.

The day I went to pick both the car & trailer up, they had only completed the work on the car. The trailer was still yet to be done. (Value of work 80% car - 20% trailer).

I left the trailer at ther premises, and thought it would be easier to pay for the total amount when I picked up the car, thinking that the trailer would be ready the next day, or day after.

I never in my wildest thoughts would have considered that a company with the brand name of Opposite Lock would go into Liquidation, and I thought it was a sign of good faith on my part paying for the total amount at the one time.

It just shows I fell for their advertising, thinking they were a big and trustworthy organisation. I thought better to be safe with dealing with a reputable brand rather than possibly dealing with smaller unknown organisations.

As I said in my earlier post, one of their ex subcontractors who installed a dual battery into my car is repairing a faultly component free of charge (as I have already paid for it). This person is to be congratulated for his decency.

I will see how the Head Company performs and see if they come to the party, I would have thought their reputation was more important than having customers that have been ripped off.

Thanks

TonyG

Orgainise with them to pick the unit up, and that you wish to inspect the premises to ensure non of your equipment has been removed from the trailer, before accepting delivery of your trailer.

They should ahve people who can meet you or who will be stocktaking onsite within a week, so push them hard.

Hi Rolande,

It is not the one referred to as Sydney North.

My understanding is they are all individual franchises, The one I was dealing with ws Sydney west

Thanks
