I posted this last December:
After seven months at the MG dealership, my car is still not repaired (Virtu Motors, Edinburgh West). They report frequently but just one excuse after another. First they didn't have a level 3 technician, then MG disagreed the scope of the repair, then no battery repair tools (two cells need replacing). Virtu won't buy the tools and are trying arrange hire tools from MG. MG approved a hire car (only after 6 months) - but still no hire car (MG refused Virtu's hire car proposal).
So, enough whining by me.
I want to consider lines of responsibility. As I understand, the only responsibility here is MG's new car warranty to me, and Virtu (an official MG dealership where the car was serviced) are acting for MG. In other words, any failings are between them, within MG's warranty to me.
I've no idea how this is going to end, but I'm 7 months without a car and I can't leave it to these jokers.
My 22plate stopped on the motorway with whole family on way home from airport. That was in August. MG refused their own dealership's report because the dealer did not have a level 3 certified technician. Only one level 3 training available in Scotland (they told me) and fully booked. I went to the dealership yesterday. They said my car is next but one for assessment - they have been saying that for weeks. They won't sell me a new one because the sales side can't be sure when it will be fixed for trading in. No hire car because MG still didn't get the level 3 technician report.
