  • Initially, I didn't mind KMart auto as I own a BA Falcon.

    I just felt on my last service, that they were really getting money hungry and picked on everything to get a dollar.
    I used to bring my own parts and they happily used it, however towards the end, it wasn't allowed. Of course to profiteer as much as they can by marking up their own.

    I hope this new mob charges better prices.

    Cheers

    • Car gets older - car needs more things checked/replaced/repaired, it's par for the course.

      And I don't know any restaurant where I can bring my on steak to save a few dollars.

        Well in this case, I used to bring my steak and they were more than happy to cook it .. and then the menu changed :P

    yes and no, you can always say no to having the faults fixed and at least you know they went over it well to find the faults.

    I'm guessing too many people buying cheap and chips parts and/or 2nd hand parts, then complained when the parts they paid KTA to install failed.

      No actually I used to work for Ford and had employees discount hence used genuine parts. Obviously it was cheaper than the equivalent.

      • I wasn't say you had, I was saying too many OTHER people had, hence why the policy was changed.

  • They probably want it to sell their own brand, Continental.

    It hasn't been sold off yet. Read the news article again.

    • Yes, it needs approval, but it will likely go ahead.
