Voluntary termination

[stephen broom]

Good morning
I have just handed my car over to MOTONOVOs agent .i was asked to sign a form that describe the toting up of his appraisal ie £45x 4 for scuffed wheels,£40 for small scratch on o f s door and £300, for no upto date service stamp a total of £520.i did explain that i had a friend do the servicing oil change filters etc ,but any faults were taken to audi garage were work was carried out ie injectors, cambelt, water pump ,battery , tyres, flywheel mass , etc etc and gave him the paid bills for proof .so in my mind i have taken reasonable care of the car so much so we drove it to Rome last year and i would not have done that if the car was not well maintained,
and after all the car is 10 years old with 94 thousand miles on the clock, it is expected to have the odd supermarket scratch etc etc,,So my question to the forum am i liable for the above costs ..
MANY THANKS STEVE B

Re: Voluntary termination

Thankyou R0b for quick response, i have read the link many thanks , so it seems to say that will try any thing to get more money out of me ? but the link says regular servicing ,which i believe i do all beit with a friend .so do you think they have a right to ask for the charges that they will try to get from me ? thanks steve

Re: Voluntary termination

Hi everybody i posted this thread and had a reply from R0b which i have read and read ,and my brain is starting to hurt as i am not used to this forum or any other forum to be honest ,i am getting on a bit in years ,,i think i have missed the boat .lol i cannot see where it says my service book should be up to date ,or not be up to date, as i have a freind service my car for me as i stated above ,and can they make me pay for non service history of the car since i have had it ,although i gave them lots of bills which i have had done at audi garage for faults, see my other thread..many thanks ,,,,ps am i writing this in the right place ?

Re: Voluntary termination

If your friend carried out the services was he self employed or worked for a business? Did he stamp or mark the service manual? did you pay him for the services.

If you can prove all of this and your friend is willing to provide a statement to that effect, then I don't think you have much to worry about. The onus is on Audi to claim otherwise but no doubt they will pester you to pay up and threaten everything they can to coerce you into paying.

Whether you choose to pay is entirely up to you but that's all the help I can offer, the ball is now in your court.
