When they’d ‘finished’ fitting my new glow plugs, they called me to say they “could only fit three as it looked like someone had already had a go and it was spinning.” I didn’t understand what they meant and, after asking lots of questions and getting two other garages to look at it for a 2nd opinion (one being the Mini dealership), it’s been confirmed that my 2nd glow plug is broken and needs extracting.
I wish I’d never taken my car there as now I’m left with only 3 working glow plugs (which could be an issue in winter) and an expensive repair job.
When I visited them to complain, they kept saying it was like that when they found it. As my car has only done 54k miles, I doubt it! I asked to see the glow plugs they’d taken out to see if they were original Mini glow plugs and they told me they no longer had them! Coupled with the previous fact that my Cooper Diesel has only done 54k miles, I suspect they forced it and it broke.
I wish they’d called me when they had trouble removing it and left it as opposed to breaking it. They didn’t and they denied it.
Although they reluctantly refunded me for the labour (I said that’s the least they could do and said I’d contact Trading Standards otherwise as I wasn’t prepared to pay for someone to damage my car), I’m left with a repair bill of £100s, no apology and I’ve had to find out the exact issue myself as they weren’t even honest enough to admit it was broken and kept saying it was ‘spinning’.
On the day, the car was ready when they said it would be, communication was great and we have no concerns about the quality of workmanship.
