anything I can do about work not done in 5 months. I have already paid ?

I took my nissan micra into a garage last October for a gear box problem. they said they could fix it and quoted £830. I paid them as they said they needed it for the parts.
This week they told me the car is not repairable and a new gear box would cost £2,000 which I do not have. What is my position. Could they not have told me that last October when they looked at the car? They also told me today it will cost me more if they fix it. They also said it is in pieces and cannot be moved. Can anyone advise me what to do?.

Thank you for your advice. I have written quote and evidence of my payment to Putney Service Centre. I will do as you say- they are obviously a 'dodgy' set up.

Last October??? Have you got the original quote for the £830 in writing, if so, it'll be a good start. I think you need to take it along to Citizens Advice or a solicitor who specialises in this sort of problem and tell them what you've written here. Also the garage might see sense once they know you're serious. Good luck.
