Ms. Dares (surname withheld), 35, said she gave her white Toyota sedan to be repaired at this district’s leading garage located at kilometre six last April.

Elkski Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 A parts car. I hope big joke comes to this police station to tell them that was wrong for them to tell her to be quiet. 7 months car rental should be included. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sign out front would have worked in most any other country. Screwing the peasants is part of the no defaming law even if its true; probably that is. Weasel words are important you know.

Thingamabob Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 She would have been well advised to take her car to a reputable auto repair business rather than a garage. I have had some remarkably good work done by specialist auto repairers in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebell Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I used a branch of a national company for a 10,000 kms service. The 'engineer' told me the rubber hoses needed renewing. I paid up and returned home with the defective parts in the boot. Home Inspection revealed no problem with the originals. Only by naming and shaming will scams be eradicated; that is why police receive protection money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
