What to do if you have a problem with a car repair?
If the report shows that the work wasn’t done properly then the original garage should fix the car. You could ask another garage to give you a written quote or estimate for the work. This will prove that the repairs or service need to be done again, and could help you negotiate with the original garage for the problem to be fixed.
What happens if a garage refuses to do a car repair?
You should take further action if the garage refuses to make the repairs and you can’t reach an agreement.

This is because you’ve entered into a contract with the garage (even if you didn’t sign anything).
Can a clogged catalytic converter cause a car to not accelerate?
A clogged catalytic converter is very dangerous and may even catch fire! In this case, it’s best to park the vehicle until it can be repaired.

What causes a car to not be able to accelerate?

Why does my car have an acceleration problem?
When it can’t properly engage the transmission with the engine, your car shows acceleration issues. It could be a worn out clutch pedal or the clutch fluid. The fluid should not go below the minimum level or cross the maximum level. The clutch is the most common reason for acceleration problems. Watch the clutch’s action.
What should I do if my car won’t accelerate?
The fluid should not go below the minimum level or cross the maximum level. Watch the clutch’s action. If it seems loose or the engine changes speed without accelerating or decelerating, the clutch is definitely the origin of the problem. 2. Problems With The ECU
