    No, no, no!!!

    DEFINITELY should NOT be driving customer car at night with friends!!!

    A test drive is a zip around the block for 5 mins.

    If he's threatening you with a pipe he is hiding lots of naughtiness!

    Only a loser reacts that way anyway.

    If you have a car insurance company, contact them for advice. There are insurers that conduct vehicle inspections and may be able to determine if the repairs were required and the approx. cost.

    Next, check if the company is a member of Motor Trades Association. If they are, contact MTAQ and make a complaint, they should be able to determine if the repairs were required.

    Next, if the problem hasn't been resolved (and you have substantial evidence from the above course/s of action), you can take the matter to the Small Claims Tribunal.

    If all else fails, go to Today Tonight, dodgy mechanics are their bread and butter

    That's quite a scary experience to have I'd imagine!

    I hope it all goes well for you. As everyone above has said, he is clearly in the wrong and you need to go to the police, and your insurance, and the motor trades association. I personally had a hard time with a panelbeater who never warranted extra work on my car and then demanded extra money on the day it was ready...that was quite messy but I went to the same people (police, insurance, MTA) and the issue was settled.

    I've heard bad things about Brisbane Motor Works, very dodgy. I agree Maca, Mike Weber is in the next street and very trustworth/reasonable.

    Hope it gets sorted. Definitely report it to the police asap. Also you can't trust that they fixed anything.
