again demonstrating your real attitude to other people's pride and joy and level of care they should expect - well done sport. i hope no-one ever entrusts you with anything older then 5-10 years of age that isn't made of titanium. what a piss poor attitude to take.

Where fords barely make it over the kilmog .just,blame the 'mechanic"Poster is pissed about his precious car , & he has need to take it somewhere to have it seen to ,about one problem & seeing now has someones attention ( like not getting it fom elsewhere)finally has found someone to complain ( TM) about anything & everything ! . What a fcn tosser ,! I dont look at cars nowdays butlook at peoplefirst &ask myself ,do i give my time here for this person for their vehicleor not !, If not its easier to send them on their way for themto annoy someone else. Some people justhave way more issues than thevery cars they drive,

I hope I never have to deal with you or ya fragile cars in my lifetime. Sick of customers to quick to blame someone else I agree with bob. Ya got a part and it takes ya 20 mins it broke in your possession wake up take some responsibility stop trying to pass the blame and fix it ya self. Obviously a common problem and about to brake anyway otherwise you would not have the spare part.

bigfatman (lol) man you really can't write. go back to school. Yes you guys are right. When I put it in so many years ago a voice told me it will break on 18th June 2011, so I was really smart and booked my car into a workshop for that time.yeah right!

That's what I'm doing. Just wanted to have a rant, and I did. They're going to send it to a metal specialist (prob' someone he knows in the trade) so he can then tell me that it broke two years ago. Or maybe he'll own up! Good on him for sticking up for his worker, but it doesn't change the fact that it broke in their work shop. It's more his bad reaction and way of dealing with my complaint that I properly pissed me off the most.

re #50 They do. Well text English, lol. Been going there for over 15years, but now some new kid on the block runs the place. But not for long, clearly not management material.

a bit off topic but anyway, had a customer with an old vk commy that needed the front lights sorted, we sorted them and just checked all lights worked front and rear, noticed the left tail light had a crack in it and leaking water in, made a note of it on the invoice and told the customer about it, he wasnt worried. 6 months later we get the commodore in again for a starter motor issue, fixed that up and the customer left happy as, day or so later he comes in grizziling about how we cracked his light and its got water in it. i was so happy that i had written it down 6 months earlier and i just printed the lights invoice and it was printed on there with it, he must of felt like a fool. havent seen him since, not sure if its a good thing or bad thing,
point is customers try us all the time, we just have to be vigilent in picking the stuff up and be honest about it

I give my coons death and have never had one go! this wagon I have as daily driver at the moment gets driven harder than my work truck. rally drives quite well actually, never had a problem shift!
