Here is my inquiry to Vic Consumer Affairs:

"My son has been billed for work done on his Landcruiser by a local mechanic. Some of the work performed had not been requested or authorized by him and damage was caused to the vehicle whilst in the workshop. The damage was not fully repaired.
He offered a cheque for half the amount requested as full payment. This cheque was banked.

Debt collectors have since contacted him on several occasions. He has explained the situation to them. The mechanic has also made contact and been abusive.

The debt collection agency has now informed him that the proprietor will be taking him to court. My son has been told by the agency that he owes the rest of the account plus $500 legal costs, and that if it goes to court he will most likely incur $1000 in legal costs and that he is likely to lose.

Help..."

This is only a bill for $800. Jim paid half and by my thinking when the smart [bottom] banked it he accepted the terms of the offer.

Your thoughts? I'm sure these situations have happened to you lot too.

You put your vehicle in for some work and the bill takes your breath away, but you feel that the mechanic knows best.....
