Default JK No goer

Hi all, Took my Jk crd with 5500kays on the clock for a service, because we are driving from Perth to port douglas next so I thought we need a 10,000 service before the long trip and guess what. Jeep is stuffed after the mechanic took it for a test drive and it started missing and them stopped they had to push it back. they have no idea whats wrong its not electrical, I think they forgot to put in oil and sieged the friggin engine. Im realy pissed becacuse we are relocating ang have sold our house and have to move next week.
Very pisseoff Von Dep

If I was you I would DCJ head office explain to them what has happened with the dealer and demand a new one to replace the one the dealer stuffed.

If DCJ doesn't come to the party along with the dealer tell them that you are taking this issue to the TV stations and papers.

That should move them along.

Hope it turns out ok for you.

5,500 klm's?????

Stuff fixing the engine, tell them that you expect a full replacement vehicle!

I'd be drafting up a nice little letter to the Dealer Principle and DC.

Who wants a rebuilt motor in a new car?
