Autostop Johnsonville Part Two

Today I called Autostop Johnsonville to discuss the poor quality of the repairs to my car. The manager was away but I got a very polite and helpful person called Daphney.
I pointed her to my blog entry and she said she would call me back. She did, apologised and said they would put it all right.
Sounds positive so in the car goes tomorrow.
I will do an update on how the car looks after tomorrow.

Autostop Johnsonville

After our excitement last Saturday with the car dying I was pleased to pick it up finally from Auto Stop Johnsonville.

However I like to do a thorough inspection of my car after it comes back from any service so I gave it a really good clean inside and out today.

Unfortunately Autostop Johnsonville have not done a very good job.

I have spotted the following so far:

To access the fuel pump, instead of unclipping the carpet and lifting, a hole has been hacked into it. This would not be so bad if it was three straight edges, but this is a hack job with a big 'rip' at the top.
The actual fault, a wire down to the O2 sensor, has been recreated and is just hanging between the power steering and the right hand drive shaft. Just duct tape as protection. It should at least have a protective sleeve on it and probably should be routed against the body work (although I need to check on a friends Corolla to be sure).
Plastic interior not put back correctly.
Buttons not put back in line and not connected so there is no airconditioning, clock and rear window de-misting. Actually the whole left hand side is not fitted correctly.
I am pretty sure the wires should be sleeved into the junction box.
Bracket not refitted leaving the wire floating.
Bracket damaged and wiring not refitted into place.

And as of Sunday just noticed the plastic tray below the heater controls is busted.


As I say, this is all I can find from a brief once over as I cleaned.

Soooo... Autostop Johnsonville get a chance on Monday to put things right. Then I will get it checked over at the Toyota Service because it is due a WoF and service this month anyway.
