Legal steps for poor car restoration

Questioner

I recently had my classic car resprayed by a 'classic car restorer'. Ultimately this company did such a poor job and did not provide a reasonable solution in my opinion that I am happy with. The car has been poorly painted overall (drips or too little paint), has poor filler work, is poorly put together, has broken things, and the interior is so damaged that I will probably have to look for new parts. Original bumpers and grille sprayed - which were originally bakelite, so no longer original - and I had to partly assemble the car myself when I picked it up. The gentleman's solution is that I have to look for new parts myself and that he would possibly redo my doors and sills. Of course I do not agree with this because the entire respray job leaves a lot to be desired. This gentleman has FOCWA signs hanging. After contacting FOCWA, it turns out that this garage is not affiliated with FOCWA. So I have no guarantee and the insurance can do nothing for me. I have not received a receipt so far, but I can prove that the car was modified and painted in this garage. I would like to know if it is possible to take legal action.

The signs that the garage owner has hanging fall under the heading of announcements that relate to the properties of his services. The rules of consumer purchase law also apply in the sense that you are entitled to free repair / or replacement or termination. The absence of the promised property of guarantee is a defect and certainly a failure to comply and misleading commercial practice. In short, if you have proof that poor work has been delivered, then you can certainly do something with it legally.
