    The deal was all labour on Barter$ and any parts cash. I surplied ALL the parts for the 100k plus new injector connectors , 24 lifters and all piping. It is now 1.5 MONTHS later and they still have my Z! WTF. I now know that every cash customer that comes in is getting done first and the Z only gets looked at if they have a free hour or two!:angry:

    How long in labour hours would this type of job usaly take as they say they have spent about 25hours so far and it wont be ready until about the 24th?

    offer them a smoke when they're done...

    SCREWING YOU!!!

    my service was done over 2 days, bill was for 8hrs, & that was a 200k service with a wheel bearing & some other stuff.
    I dropped car & parts off in the morning & picked it up the next arvo. total labour cost was around $600.

    think it might be time to grab your car & contact some legal representation...

    good luck.
    cheers, Tim.

    Using barter credit shouldnt be a reason for poor service

    A couple of months ago i managed to pick up almost $10K in credits in a similar system and found good service through every business i used....
