Holden jackaroo

CB.. I think I would be demanding details of repairs done. Ring up GM headquarters if they won't produce them. Seems stupid that they won't do that. They might not of done what they say, and past experience says don't trust them.

Thank you, I shall follow that advice.

CB, with any new parts you should receive a warranty - i think it is 50K.

If they repaired it for nothing they are basically admitting the fault was due to faulty parts/workmanship. All repairs are covered by some sort of warranty, doesn't matter what they say. I think it's called basic consumer rights and is covered by state law.

Got a Jack myself....have had dealings with dealers. Basic rules with cars are whatever they "tell" you is worthless. If you don't have written material you have nothing. You must go there are ask nicely for your copy of the actual JOB SHEET. Check that the date, odo readings and all work details are all on there. They never do anything for anyone(even "no=charge" jobs have a work sheet). You are entitled to a copy as owner for your records. Once you have a copy of the work they claimed to have done, you can consider having that verified independently. Go to your motoring org or consumer affairs if they don't
give you the sheet....and get serious about having the work checked....also, with a new donk, you must have a new engine number....didi they say that ?
Love the bush - stuck in the city - help.

Hi CB....Good to hear you are mobile again.

If I recall correctly, all Holden parts and labour used in dealer servicing or repair is warranted for 12 months/20000km. So you should at least have that.

I'd follow Darian's suggestion and get copies of the worksheets.

Thank you all, for your excellent suggestions..

I am trying to follow through on them.
When I collected the car I asked for a copy of the Job Sheet
"Sorry its gone to Holden" "
Friday I tried to obtain a copy.."we will fax you a copy on Monday"
Here it is Tuesday and I have just phoned them again at 4.52 pm, [ lets face it, they just want to close up and go home..I want to be pleasant and chat] they said
"oh sorry ..we forgot"
"yes, we promised to do that"
"what is your fax number again ?"

Waiting..... waiting...... waiting........

Well I wait and I waited at last..a FAX..of the Invoice which is 80% unreadable but it does show they did 2 lots of work
1] 17.30 hours
2] 6.70 hours

Not a bad effort for near 10 weeks.

I think a visit may be in order, I can be sweetness itself, and with time to spare to talk , chat, and be pleasant.
