Over the last many years, I’ve represented customers in actions against Ford Motor Company of Australia.

Faulty transmissions in their Ford Fiesta and Ford Focus models have caused unforgivable angst for owners. And the attitude of Ford in Australia towards these claims has been deplorable

Ford Transmission Issues 'solved'
Faulty Transmissions – Ford Motor Company has lost the fight in the Federal Court. What chance an appeal to the High Court of Australia?

And as someone who worked for a Ford dealership for over 22 years, I found it very hard to forgive this way of doing business. Here’s a story from the Courier Mail this morning, 4th November 2021

I’m glad to say that all the claims that I fought for these customers were successful. Ford duly paid out the claim, but not before taking their response to QCAT (Queenslnad Civil Administrative Tribunal).

And there are many other horror stories where the consumer has or at least tried to get compensation from manufacturers. If you’d like to know the latest details over a brand new Land Rover Discovery (Circa $140,000) that was on the road from early July for just 3 days, get in touch. This one will curl your hair

Ford faces big compo

FORD could be forced to pay millions of dollars in compensation to Australians for faulty vehicles.

The issue revolves around faulty PowerShift dual-clutch automatic transmissions, which experienced problems such as shuddering, delayed and jerky acceleration and failing to start.

This auto gearbox was fitted to popular models such as the Ford Fiesta and Focus. Ford no longer uses these transmissions in any of its vehicles. The issue affected about 65,000 vehicles and compensation could be worth hundreds of millions.

The Federal Court has already found in favour of the lead applicant Biljana Capic.

Not only do I write about new cars, but I also assist to fight the good fight against manufacturers. Most consumers aren’t aware of Australian Consumer Law and their rights. If I can help you, contact me via email at [email protected]

Hello. I’m Bob Aldons, the owner and editor of The Car Guy. The Car Guy is an independently owned car review website. I’m currently reviewing cars for Mazda, Nissan, Kia, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Renault, Haval, Hyundai, and Genesis.

Through Mercedes AMG Petronas Motorsport I’m also writing about the 2021 Formula 1 season.

I’m not paid by any car company for my opinion and my companies don’t receive advertising revenue to say nice things about them. I call it as I see it. 

However, I also own a new car broker company – Car Business. Being able to review new cars gives me an opportunity to provide accurate information on these brands. If you’re in the market for Any New Car Cheaper, contact me at Car Business and see how I go about saving you some serious money. 

Perhaps you think that you can do the job of buying a new car yourself? If you’re after any advice at all, give me a call and ask me any question that you need to be answered. 

If you’re an Aussie Veteran or serving in the military, I take particular pride in taking care of you. For every car that I source and deliver, I donate part of my fee to Mates4Mates.

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my new website thecarguy.com.au!

I know that there’s a lot of websites that offer car reviews, car road tests, opinions on various cars and the like. What makes this site different is that I’m not going to bore you with technical information about the various cars that I review.

I’ve been in the car business for over 39 years. I’ve read the motoring magazines cover to cover. I’ve read the online reviews until my eyes were square. Everywhere that I go, I find motoring journalists talking about car speeds – 0 – 100 km per hour, standing ¼ times, the inclination of this and that at 150klm per hour on a 12.5% gradient curve, in rainy weather – and other stuff that bores me no end.

thecarguy.com.au is taking a different path on the journey to helping you purchase a new car. I’ll do my best to advise you on what I consider to be the most important information when it comes to that major decision to purchase a car. Interior room, features of the car, fuel economy, safety, service prices, resale and lots more. I’ll tell you what I like about a particular car and as importantly, what I don’t like, to find at least to be less than I think a car should have. .

And I’ll ask for your opinion. Take some pics of what you’re driving and tell me and our audience what you particularly like or dislike about your car. Because besides prospective new car buyers, there’s a lot of people who’ll read your comments as used car buyers.

So, jump on board, strap yourself in and let’s start out on the journey with The Car Guy.
