Re: starting a register of bad experiences - surely they cant sue for defamation if allegations are true?! I suppose its not worth getting lawyers to prove whther the claims are true or not though.

actually - the truth is not usually a defence in slander, libel or defamation actions. Public interest might be - certainly so if you were a media organisation, but what you propose would probably land you in hot water.
We've got no constitutional ammendment (like in the US) to enshrines free speech.
Dont forget that every state has (mostly toothless) consumer protection agencies - and you should ask for an itemised bill that indicates the labour time for each thing that he/she did.
Maybe ask Choice magazine or your local auto club (racq in Qld) to provide list of reputable mechanics.
Also, see v8_ma61's thread about dodgy freight companies and naming of these dodgy suppliers on forums like toymods.
and next time .. remember that you are probably the best machanic your car will see while you own it.
