I have had truck 4 1/2 years - before that another lady for about 3 years prior to that don't know much Mileage will have to go check - think its around the 250,000 - have 121,000 in my head for the hub meter thing (because have to buy the RUC again soon) Its registered as a private vehicle - camper - living is over 50% so get away with no mileage log book - but do keep my own record book whic is in cab of truck that is parked at stables - not here at home Have not done alternator whilst I have had it language probably not right Done brakes pad things, two new brake line repairs (rust holes) - they cut metal out and put new metal in and something with ok laugh nipple had to be replaced that was two years ago now New Hand brake cable and pads ! COF before last - due again soon) Ball joint bearing ! (was in the front) 2 years ago Rubber bits on the suspension - last COF Lights (that was just a fuse) Hmm nothing really had gone wrong - needed doing. I keep her serviced and clean. Make sure I use good products - Oil etc, add the Moreys stuff to the diesel and yeah. Oh and she needs new house batteries as they don't hold the charge any more and yes do have an isolater switch so does not drain engine ones - 24 volt set up Yes do need to find a good mechanic here and pref not the Isuzu dealer as with Holden and charge like wounded bulls. (I drive a Holden - don't hold that against me. it has never let me down other than a flat dead battery)

Yeah bit of googling and local knowledge tells me Vaughns Road is in Roto. Miro Street methink is Taupo.
Still seems to be a big company full of porkies.
Good onya for popping in here and well-sorry to say what is B .S. But sadly it is. Reality is with such a large company it's only a coupla K- chump change in terms of goodwill. Someone should be held accountable-*revved up -hauled over the coals* etc. Fair Go .M T A
For the future (This might suprise a few)-Wastecare are actually a big american company-and rubbish trucks don't brake down.
They *Just Queitly* generaly do private work.ssshhhhh-And to a very high standard
Other than that My personal refernces are the ole rere church-and those assosciated with it-
I.E. personaly known and trusted people in your area who iknow will have a better handle on who is reputable localy. Breakdowns out of town can hapenn-and perusal of this thread- leads one to think it needs to be printed and handed to the managment of the business-
And perhaps they could revisit your situation-and we could have a reply in this thread showingthat they accept we are all human and make mistakes-and any repair business is only as good as it's reputation for
*Putting it right*
After all the worker who makes a mistake does not have to deal with the consequential damge to the good will of the business. The business does however And it NEEDS TO KNOW AT TOP LEVELS When a workers mistake-or incompetence could damage the reputation of the business. It is your right to seek a second opinion and you have one-and it's not singular. Indeed my first post herin still stands-
BUT IS NOW INDEPENDANTLY AGREED WITH BY OTHERS.

Thank you snoopy221 I came on here because I often lurk and read - and for people like me the time taken to explain properly when genuine questions are asked is brilliant I don't think I know any of you yet you have all given me very sound help in terms I understand - even being the mushroom lol I know the many out Rere so will wonder out that way tomorrow and see who they recommend for mechanical work Yes said company is here in Roto - I know where - not far. I have just read the web site and worked out the other you said - that makes an interesting read. Marketing.hmmm Yes I know I am a small blimp on the grande scale of things and will no doubt be little more than a pain in the ar$e for them - I intend being a very big pain until I get answers I accept that people make mistakes - but man up and own it - stop hiding behind jargon someone does not understand - that is bullying Yes I have many independent opinions that are all much of the same vein. I thank you all for these - you are never to old to learn :) Will update Monday and let you all know where we are at - feeling much more empowered now :) Will start a new thread if TM zaps this one Thank you all again

Yip before a *zap* on this thread happens there are business owners mechanics that post here that haven't popped in. However they are reputable and will be of the same view as myself *Nev the hunter* is an old friend of mine and the churches Gary would be one of the better people to assist you localy if! he is still around.
car club should find him he used to have an HS2300 chevette.

Good. I still recall when i was in Auckland and a car was an A Abreakdown. (Another incorrect A A diagnosis)-However The M T A and the A A [We were an A A aprroved repairer-The A A wanted us because of our faultless reputation]
Ended up i personaly knew the son ofthe vehicle owners. They got reimbursed for motel bills travel and our work-which was me on a weekend.Including Taylor Automotive machining. Plus i know through the trade a few people in brake and clutch parts businesses So there could be a *GOOD* outcome here hopefully. Beyond Doubt there are chanells and considering the years of QAULIFIED experience available on this forum
In a case like yours -there is no reason for anonyminity. I M H O (In My Honest Opinion)-If ya not up with net speak And the gauntlet is laid down here for others that feel this is WRONG To again do what i did post something you are prepared to put your name to

I would really just like the company to say - yup *we* stuffed it up - sorry about that, this is what we actually done and what actually happened and what was actually fixed. This is what you paid this is what we owe you back In this day and age of not accepting consequence of action hmm - but yes I will follow all and every channel I can Yes it has cost a fortune being stranded down there - I was lucky that were we were stranded could accommodate my horses - transporting horses is not cheap. I have not put a value on what it has cost as in time off work etc I really just want a fair deal and honesty. The PM on FB was from a person who I don't really get along with but does and can post on here - usually in another *area* - her hubby is a *guru* in these matters and is convinced I would have herd noise if the fork had come off before the slave failed. I doubt she will post - some people love the 'stirring' but never the man up / back up. I only raised it as I did not fully understand the workings and in what order - I do now. Funny she has not answered my reply and I bet they are reading this. Any way - said Gary I have yet to locate but many doors still to open thank you again:)
