  7. I would get the car collected,get it back to base then ring him and say after an inspection you have decided a refund is in order so when can he come with all relevant paperwork for his refund This way he cant put a smelly kipper under the seat squab or rev the nuts off it before you collect Theres no way on earth would i repair and return An unreasonable customer is always an unreasonable customer even though he broke the rules about going to a third party for an independent inspection because after all 80 miles is a long way At least your car looked the part for his daughters wedding last week and it was cheaper than car hire
