Screwed over massively By Jarvis Ford

OK, so i took my 1990 Farimont Ghia in to Jarvis Ford Hillcrest in Adelaide, it needed a few things fixing, such as the rear brake pads, a transmission serivce, and it developed a few leaks, some oil from the rocker cover, and also a coolant leak. Since the car is in mint condition otherwise, both inside and out, not to mention the fact that i just adore driving it, i shelled out $1729 to get her back into shape. For such a high amount of money, i expected them to fix things and they assured me that they did. The brakes they did well enough, and also the transmission, but the day after i got the car back, it began spewing oil all over my garage floor. I took it back straight alway, and the service desk person arranged a time to take it back, and upon fixing it again said there was "insufficiant sealant" on the cover. Well WTF, happens sometimes, i can deal with it. All good. At least thats what i thought untill 3 day later. The coolant came slowly dripping out, despite the receipt from the fine gentlemen at Jarvis Ford stating that "Failed radiator hose was replaced, cooling system flushed and all fluids topped up, pressure test all ok". I was quite annoyed by this point, yelled at them and told them to fix the effen car. They said that the radiator cap was faulty ordered one, and replaced it "free of charge as a gesture of goodwill". I was glad to finally be rid of further problems, when lo and behold, THE VERY NEXT ****** DAY, coolant dripping from the radiator. As it was a satruday and they arent open, i cant contact them untill tomorrow. Their mechanics seem to be completely and utterly clueless, they cant seem to fix anything, depsite the office people telling me that these are ALL well known and easily fixable problems with the EA series. May this be a warning to anyone who even THINKS about servicing your car, be it a Ford or anything else at Jarvis Ford, ESPECIALLY the hillcrest one, KEEP FAR ALWAY FROM THESE ******!! THEY ARE COMPLETELY USELESS!! I really should call Consumer affairs on these morons, im not the onnly person they have screwed over, my friend suffered enormous damages because of them, but hes not aloud to talk about it as it is currently going through a court case. Any advice in relation to this matter?
-Rant mode off..
