The car over heated badly and was irrepairable in the short term. They advised us about the options available and said that they would be okay to keep the car an trailer on their property while my son returned home as he had a plane to catch. Kevin and the team looked after the car and trailer (including glad wrapping the trailer to keep the content dry), for about two weeks while we worked out what we were going to do with the car and get up there to collect my sons belongings. Eventually we were able to get there after about three weeks to retrieve everything. No storage charged and they even gave us an adapter for the trailer so we could tow it back home. Another few weeks or more later, we are thinking that we will ask Avondale Auto repairs to install a new engine rather than writing the car off."}},"ReviewAsset:cko9g3rym000b08ml4mhgh5t3":{"id":"cko9g3rym000b08ml4mhgh5t3","__typename":"ReviewAsset","reviewId":"cko9g3rww000908mlgsgp3d35","url":"https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ls-asset-service/cko9g3dre008308l224308k5t/cko9g3dre008408l2g3hkdjhc","review":{"__typename":"Review","rating":5,"displayName":"Sherry","message":"Excellent Service n Price"}},"ReviewAsset:cki71sp9x000507mla9la7xrl":{"id":"cki71sp9x000507mla9la7xrl","__typename":"ReviewAsset","reviewId":"cki71sp8c000307mlcptggsdv","url":"https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/ls-asset-service/cki71rudq001u07ic5kr7bawv/cki71rudq001v07ichkg7h94h","review":{"__typename":"Review","rating":1,"displayName":"JWhite","message":"Sold us faulty ps4 move controllers and refused to honor the sale price they gave us if we had it ordered in from another store.
