Hi.
My DH took our car to a local handyman/mechanic who is a friend for some work needed. Basically tyre changes, oil changes, handbrake tightening etc
He kept the car for three days, and then when we returned it he gave us an invoice of £30 to cover "costs".
What "costs"? We supplied the tyres to him!
My husband paid him, but I'm fuming. He originally said he wouldn't charge for his labour, as we have known him for so long.
I have decided I am going to send him an invoice for keeping our car longer than he said he would, to reimburse us for having to get the bus into town when we should have been able to drive.
I know this is petty, but a point needs proving. You can't keep a car longer than you promise, and then invoice for a favour!!!!
I'm wondering if it's petty to invoice for more than £30, just to make a point?
My DH says no, and this will only cause trouble, but I'm not being a doormat for his dishonest mate.
What do you all think?
