80,000 km service NIGHTMARE comes to an end

3 months after my auto started slipping after a service and a few bunfights later the issue is fixed.

The problem was mis diagnosed by the servicer and they were actually trying to fix a bigger problem than what there really was. ( they thought the auto was knackered)

After servicing my auto was slipping and was always returning a low fluid level. The servicer kept on refilling the auto in a hope to identify the problem, what they didn't pick up on was that a seal on the top of the auto was leaking and the fluid trail ran accross the top of the tranmission. unless you looked there it gave no indication of a leak issue.

After initial denials of fault they agreed to look further into this and found that this was in fact an extended warranty issue with the car ( well how glad was I that I bought a car with a Certified Holden Warranty)

On return to the car dealer I was told in no uncertain terms to f&%$ off because i had the car serviced by Ultratune. In the fine print of the contract it states that unless any servicing is done by the selling dealer the warranty is void.

Yes thats right buy a Holden with a certified warranty in Vic and go for a trip in the top end and you need to have a regular service performed, unless you drive back to Vic the warranty is void.

After a decent bunfight I decided to let it go, and thought that I might as well be out of pocket and fix the car myself.

Guess what

Ultratune were so bleep of with Holden they paid for the repairs and are now in a bunfight with them over the voiding of the warranty.

Thanks to all the forum members who gave me some great advice on how to handle this along with pointing me in the direction of some great specialists.

cheers,
