I bought a used car from a dealer at the end of May 2022. Last week my mam noticed oil on my drive so I contacted him. He was quite nasty saying how have I just noticed it now etc but told me to bring the car to a garage he uses. I’ve took the car this morning. The mechanic at the garage who I spoke to at 3pm told me that when he put it on the ramp it was covered in oil underneath etc and that 3 parts needed replaced and that he had spoken to the dealer and he said to go ahead and do the work. The dealer has just rang me at 5pm and said that he will pay for an old leak but there’s a new one and its going to cost me. I told him I spoke to the mechanic and he never mentioned more than one leak. He then said if you don’t want to pay towards it around £50 I will cancel all the work. I’ve looked up my rights and it’s within 6 month of having car so by law he has to fix it as his cost.
I don’t think I should have to pay the £50 and was wondering what I should do. I’ve looked up letters on citizens advice and they obviously won’t be able to be written and sent by tomorrow when the car will be fixed and ready for me to pick up.
can anyone advise? He’s quite an abrupt man the dealer
