What Are My Rights

[breadstick]

I took my car in to get a problem fixed yesterday and the mechanic said he would order the parts that were needed, the procedure was to be done today

However yesterday i found out that another mechanic can solve the problem for a much cheaper price, the original mechanic however has told me that the parts he had to order he may not be able to send back i told him i am not paying for them if i am not using them

does the original mechanic have any rights if nothing was signed by me?

Duplicate post - answers have been given on the other one.

He was advised to re-post in Law and has followed that advice.

Aah, that makes sense!

no, and he can send parts back. Total BS.

This is a common thing with garages. They can always send parts back but sometimes the supplier will charge a 'handling' fee or a return fee. The garage doesn't want to suffer this charge.

Will you pay the original mechanic for his time and expertise in diagnosing the problem?
