Francois was terrific, I had to get the car repaired whilst overseas for my daughter to use to do her job so not easy but Francois was extremely helpful and kept me in touch with progress. Can heartily recommend this garage without hesitation.

No not happy about the work that was not done properly never cleaned out the dpf so £333.00 down never use them or you again as they say once bitten twice shy????

Reply from Francois:

Dear Peter,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
However, you were already informed about the outcome before drop off but we were asked to stop the work in an incomplete stage and drop the car back?

I've just copied-pasted our communication below as we advised you about the issues but you decided not to go ahead:

MY MESSAGE TO YOU ABOUT THE ISSUES: (You, Tue 14 Nov 18:50)
Hi mate,
Please find the attached message on as follows:
The exhaust clamp between the DPF and flexi pipe has failed to hold tightly due to rust as explained yesterday -
and the DPF exhaust gasket defective and no longer preventing the exhaust gas.

Also, following our second test drive this afternoon, we found that the DPF regeneration is not possible as it leaks the gases.

Surprisingly, we've found that the DPF is again contains of carbon dust and needs to be cleaning again and the engine carbon cleaning need to be done or the DPF needs to be replaced?
Since, the engine emits a lot of carbon from, the DPF gets stuck quite often. It's highly recommended to use some high standard fuel with DPF cleaning treatment to auto-regenerate the system.

It was agreed to drop it off this afternoon following a successful test drive and regeneration done. Unfortunately we're not satisfied or happy to drive it with this issues.
Cheers
Francois

IN YOUR RESPONSE: YOU ASKED ME TO STOP THE WORK INCOMPLETE:
(Peter, Wed 15 Nov 09:44)


« Hi Francois
I have been thinking about the car don't bother doing anymore work on it put it all back together and bring it back to me please as I will get the fuel and everything else sorted at work as I have no transport after tomorrow night so please bring it back put your bill in and I will pay for the work done
Many Thanks
Peter »

Cheers

We still can work and sort it out for you if you wish. However, we strongly recommend you to replace the DPF and use some good quality fuel.

Hope you get it sorted sooner and if you need any help or support, feel free to contact us anytime and we'll be more than happy to assist you.
