Mazda Internal Job Cars & RAC Mileage check - Med

Hey, Ok, there are a few things i need to ask you. I know this is more of a legal forum than a technical but do any of you guys know what internal job cards look like? Only reason i ask is because my solicitor has directly requested internal job cards from the dealer for anytime my car went into them, they have only replied back with what looks like is receipts - the ones i already have from them. That cannot be the job cards right?

Also, what are the responsibilities of RAC and Mazda dealer to note down the mileage on every collection or drop off? Do they legally have to write this down on their files? One more question, my argument is with the selling dealer.

On the other hand my car has also been into my local Mazda dealer, am i legally entitled to telephone my local dealer and ask them questions about my car? i.e. i wanted to find out what company come to collect the car from them to drop it back to my house.

Thanks!

The internal job card is likely to mean the record of the work done in the workshop - how long it took, what parts were used, which mechanic worked on it etc. It's used for costing the job and working out the amount of the invoice.

What it looks like will differ from one business to another. It may be that the job cards won't have been retained by the garage, but it's worth the solicitor asking.

Avant is right, It might be a sleeve with notes but more normally now it will be a comuter record showing the make, model and registration of the car and the mileage, your details and what it was in for.

There is no legal requirement to note down the mileage but most garages will and it is good practice to do so.

Certainly if you are involved in litigation (as you seem to imply) then the local dealer will be required to divulge any party who were contracted to return your vehicle to you.
