Car repair bills are often a contentious issue, with drivers sometimes paying double or triple what they were expecting.
A car owner in Taranaki was shocked to receive a $26,000 bill when he took his classic 1935 Hillman Minx in for repairs.
Mel Cook originally bought the vehicle from his great uncle for $100 in 1969.
The car sat dormant as a museum piece, until 2004 when Mr Cook decided he wanted to get the car up and running again.
Mr Cook took the car to Toko Garage in Taranaki, where a six-year ordeal ensued over payment for the car.
Mechanic Zdenek Hanzlik argues that the car is so old that many of the parts had to be custom made. He also says because of the extensive time spent on the car he has heavily discounted the labour.
Mr Cook has paid $8000 of the bill but refuses to pay the rest, now Mr Hanzlik is threatening to have the car crushed.
