Has anyone got any experience with taking someone through the small claims court. I have a disputed bill and not sure whether it's worth going for. Do they tend to favour individuals or businesses? Is it a major ball ache going through it all?
I dropped my car into a garage and they said a reconditioned engine was the best solution, 1 week and £1k. The wrong model replacement was ordered/delivered so they had to piece bits together from both. They then sold the job onto garage 2 as they tried and failed to repair it, they got it running but not smoothly. Garage 2 then sent it to BMW garage to do the final tuning as it wasn't right. 6 weeks and 3 days later i get the car back with a £2.5k bill. Have never been told the bill would be increasing at all.
Unfortunately no written evidence is available apart from a bunch of hire car and taxi receipts and the bill from the engine supplier which the garage has. I'd be claiming £2k in total, £1.5k for the increased bill which i didn't agree to and £500 for consequential damages, 5 weeks of hiring cars and using taxi's i wouldn't have had to do if they didn't screw it up.
