GoBumpr — Unethical behaviour

My car which has not been driven for 2 years and that has been flooded for a month was inspected on the pretext of them buying it. After looking at the car, they said it will only take Rs.20000 to fix it. O said okay, I can spend 20000 to fix the car instead of selling it.

Once they started the repair, they said it will cost another 15 thousand. I said okay. After that they found more issues that would case another 15 thousand. It went on like that till it reached 60 thousand. I thought okay, its roughly 3 times more than their initial quote. As long as the car comes back in good condition i'm okay with it.

They delivered the car and said I should bring ir back after 100kms to change oil. And the reason was that since it has been flooded, they have to look at the car again in 1000kms. I thought that was odd but okay. I went on a long drive of 1000kms. That's when I had my first issue. There was a loud squeaking sound coming from the car. I tried reaching out to them but they were not prompt in their response.

After coming back, I asked them to come and collect the car again, Now, I spend 25 thousand to change the suspension system. they had no good answer to why this was not looked previously. They then assured me that now the car is all good and I wont have any trouble for the next 10 thousand kms. I had spet about 90 thousand on this till this point.

The very next drive, I went on a 300km long drive and around 150 kms, the car broke down. The fuel pump that they had already serviced got busted. I tried reaching out to them and there was absolutely no response. I found a local mechanic in the middle of a highway to fix it. I continued my journey.

A day later, during my return home from the 300km drive, the car breaks down again. This time the engine timing belt is busted. When I called them, they said they wont come that far to fix the car. I had to find another mechanc in the highway yo fix it.

After retuening home, the breaks got busted. They came back to take the car to check again and are now quoting 40000 rupees to fix the car.

This is predatory. Simple as that. Please dont go to gobumper for any of your car needs. The only thing they are interested in is making money. They will go to whatever lenghts to get that.
