for all who wanted to see,sorry about the delay.just to clarify things the receipt is for parts and the labour was paid cash as i was told by power station that this would save me paying vat






Please note the 13 hours it took to fit my gaugues. Unfortunatly I paid cash for the labour hence why it is not on the receipt.

Thanks for posting the receipt f11... Looks like a lot of labour to fit 3 gauges but without a cash receipt you ain't really got a leg to stand on

Don't normally jump on the band wagon with stuff like this, but think you have well and truly been conned by powerstation!

Was just looking through the job sheet and reciept and thinking that PS were trying to get some money back on a job (the gauges)that probably didn't goto plan and turned into a bit of a nighmare, and that you'll probably just have to live and learn from this, then i saw how much they have charged you for a speedo convertor, 100 quid, 100 flocking quid, how the hell can they charge that for a part that the going rate is 20 quid and that they probably bought for a tenner!

Feel for you mate!!!

well when i paid cash i had a mate with me and durk who i paid was on his own as it was nearly 6pm and the workers had gone. either way the job sheet shows the time of labour spent and the parts list on the job sheet matches the receipt so where is the labour on the receipt??????? obviously i paid cash so its not there,ive got an idea lets ask her majesty or trading standards,maybe they will know

We need to hear what the other party has to say really.

I think thats you best plan of action.

With the proof you have provided, IMO does not fair well for Power Station.

Agreed

top half of dash if facelift around 3hours remove n refit tops mates done his took him 3 hours to fit 4 gauges boost oil temp n press fuel&air sorry 5 rpm aswell .

I think HMRC may like to hear about this VAT evasion...I doubt it's a one of from these guys, they are probably doing it systematically.

LOL £100 quid for a speedo convertor!

I can't understand how the OP pulled his pants down so willfully for this...he says he's been around cars for years and has a tuned Skyline etc? Maybe he's simple or something? 13 hours is crazy even if the 'had' to remove the dash?! Then paying cash w/out a receipt is retarded.

WRX-murphy

Scamming w*nkers!!!!! 13hrs WTF?

and they didnt charge you VAT for cash? Hmmmmmmmm very dodgey

thank you for providing the evidence dude, I will deffo be staying away from Power Station in the future !!!!!!!!!

the car speedo still doesnt work,the car steering was shaking at 80mph when i bought it back on the motorway and it wasnt like that when i gave it there so i checked the wheel nuts and all of them were a quater turn loose,the exhaust middle joint was leaking from the joint due to putting it back together poorly which wasnt like that when i gave the car,and the car smells of oil when i boot it and it didnt before.

the oil pressure gauge has been badly earthed according to the company i baught it of as it flashes.the toss pots didnt do anything right except the number plate bulb,petrol cap and flange

Guess it were flanges working on your car pal

pslewis

They couldn't justify a full-time machinist ... they will sub-contract the work out.

bobbybb1

So let me get this right...you paid:

£83.52 on your card.
£115 in cash

and therefore a total of £198.52 for the actual parts.

You then paid an extra amount of cash for the labour? You certainly seem to have paid too much in terms of the hours, but how much in cash did you actually pay extra on top of the £198.52 as I can't see that mentioned anywhere?

F11 SYS

iTrader: (1)

i dont want to say how much i paid but work it out for yourselves,just look at the job sheet

i got charged £50 an hour for 20 hours which should have been £60 an hour for 23 hours plus vat.he said he gave me a discount on the hourly rate plus he wasnt going to charge vat so i was saving alot of money he said

bobbybb1

The problem is I/(we?) don't know how much they charge per hour. It looks as though from the recipt there is 22.75 hours labour...so for example...

1. If they charged £10 per hour it would be £10 X 22.75 = £227.50
2. If they charged £10o per hour it would be £100 X 22.75 = £2275.00

So, from those examples if it was £10 per hour then the total price is fine and even though the hours were excessively charged, the cash price was not.

If it was £100 per hour, then you have been overcharged on both time and cash so without knowing what you paid it's kind of irrelevant how many hours you were billed for so no-one can say if you have been ripped off or not.

Sorry...
