3rd August 2011 They were good at getting my old truck prepared for a COF.
Next time i took my truck their, it was more serious.
I'm not an engineer, but my truck had over heated so i stopped & waited for it to cool down & then restarted it & added more water to get to a place to park it, down the road. It never ran out of water or oil.
Without starting it up they did the head of the engine & put it back together & then started it up only to hear not normal noises for a healthy engine.
They took the bottom end off & found the crank was ruined. They charged me over $4000 for what they had done & said they could get a $500 2nd hand motor & put it in for $10 000. I paid the $4000 to get my truck back & now it sits in a paddock because i don't know what to do. i don't think they meant that to happen but i just feel like they didn't really know what they were doing & i am sorry about that. I am gutted.
