Complain about a brake repair that failed

Writing Task 1: Writing an Email
Time remaining: 27 minutes 00 seconds

Last week you paid $640 at a local garage to repair your car's brakes. Three days later, the brakes started making the same grinding noise as before. When you called, the receptionist said you would have to pay $90 for another inspection.

Write an email to the owner of the garage in about 150–200 words. Your email should do the following things:

  • Describe the repair and the problem that followed.
  • Explain why you are unhappy with how your call was handled.
  • Tell the owner what you expect the garage to do, and by when.
0 wordsAim for 150–200
