dont have it gregg, go up there first thing in the morning and do your nut with them, its a bad bad mistake and possibly a very dangerous mistake to make! you will at least get all your money back!
happened to my car aswell before castle combe last year!
took car in to have 4 wheel alignment done and the lad who did it left one of the braided lines unclipped which was rubbing on inside of wheel all the way there, unknowingly to me:shock: got around 10 miles from circuit, was going down dual carriageway at a rate of knotts with mrs in motor, went to hit the brakes at roundabout and 'nothing' luckily i managed to avoid smashing into anything but it could have all ended rather badly.
had a few words with the lad when i got back and was left at that (after he gave me money for alignment and brakelines out of his pocket) but if anyone had been hurt then it would have been a different story, i would have sued the garage.

so you either grab the little tw4t by the throat who did this or go straight to the governor, but dont leave it!

I agree with Bob, and the other chaps. It's totally unacceptable to leave anything undone or loose, regardless of how much it may compromise safety. You've paid them for a service and they haven't completed it.
To make matters worse, they've compromised your safety with their mistake.

I'd be going down there, getting them to rectify their mistake, including a re-alignment if necessary, them getting a full refund and possibly some compensation for your time.

Hope you get it sorted bud.

i personally would be down there causing hell and making sure all his customers can hear what im saying and i wouldnt leave until the job was done correctly and i was fully reimbursed and if i didnt get anywhere i would be on the phone to the local papers telling them how my car was left in an unroadworthy state and i only noticed that i am driving a death trap because i checked there shoddy work
