Small claims against a garage
Collapse

Don’t bother with a small claim as you will not recover your real costs even if you win. Your claim is too trivial.
If the hub have studs; then it is possible just to replace one stud. (about £2)
If you are using bolts, the all that is needed is the hole to be re-tapped. You could even use a die on the stud. Buy a kit on eBay and do something practical to solve the problem rather than being a bed-wetter.
My charges:
On line Legal advice £30.00
Mechanical advice £15.00
Total due £45.00
Today’s savings £250 by not going via small claims,

Wait until the garage (Kwik Fit...never again) strip your sump plug... that gets interesting - they don't appear to have been taught to start the thread off by hand and then use the air wrench to tightenHow fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't thinkComment

wheels are safe enough on three bolts these days. In fact I only use two on mine, to keep the wheels balanced.
just make sure to wear a seat belt at all times and dont go round the corners too fast
