Took car for an MOT here. Told it would only take an hour, 2 hours later I called and they said it had failed and to come and collect it.
Somehow they managed to rev the car past it's limit and that's why it failed the MOT. The car was very hot when I collected it and was told I had 10 days to fix the issue for a re-test. No further help from any staff member.
En-route home, the car then displayed a check engine and oil light as soon as I joined the expressway (3 miles from the garage). Had to get recovered home and the diagnosis was loss of oil pressure.
After speaking with multiple independent garages, they have told me ATS did not need to rev the car to maximum revs anyway and exceeding them as they have stated on the MOT report has probably damaged the oil pump.
I have submitted a complaint but this will apparently take a minimum of 5 working days until it is looked at, leaving me with no usable car and loss of income. Very disappointed. read more
