Hi all,
My boss bought a recon engine for his Kia Sorento a few months back and was asked to pay a £500 deosit until they got his engine. He received the supposed recon engine and was then told that his own engine was unservicable so he wouldn't be getting his £500 deposit back or his original engine. He is quite (too) trusting and thought nothing of it. When he then had the car serviced a short while after he asked the garage to get the engine number so he could tell the dvla, only to be told there was no need to as it's the original engine number already listed!
So, essentially what has happened is, they received his engine, apparently 'reconditioned' his origibal engine and then sent his own engine back to him & lied through their teeth so they didn't have to pay him his deposit back!
Would anyone have any help or advice? Should we go to the Police, Trading Standards, Citizens Advice, some sort of Ombudsmen (if there is one)?
Thanks in advance,
Paul.
