Default Customer service quality at garages!!!

Ordered 2 lots of tyres yesterday, bloke say yep, will order them up, will be in tomorrow.

I say, "can I pop by anytime" he says yes.

Get there today, he says, only got one set in, the others will be in later, come back at 4pm., leave the others here and will will get them done.

Go back at 4pm, ask the bloke if the tyres have been fitted and if the second lot have arrived, guy taps his keyboard say "eeerrrhh, I think..." then goes out onto the shop floor, i thought he was finding out. No the foookin tool starts fooking about with a car on the rams then starts chatting on the phone.

I then notice my alloys i dropped earlier that they had the tyres for are untocuhed

Threw the foookers in the car and fooked off, will spend the chunk of cash bulging in my pocket elsewhere.

I ordered a radiator from a motor factors for my S2.

Was told;

"Aye mate, next day delivery, will be in tomorrow"

Ideal i thought, went in the next day to be told it wasnt in. This went on for 6 working days! on the 7th working day, i spoke to the manager, asked him what the deal was as i really needed the part.

"erm.. mate, sorry, but we havent ordered the part for you, we dont stock them"

me... WTF!? I fucking ordered it 9 days ago an have been told it will be with me "next day" everytime id spoken to anyone?!"

Not impressed at all! Thats life though, fuckit!

Name and shame indeed if only for the fact that you managed to just walk away with the wheels and no one said "hey where are you going with a customers wheels!"

thats what ALL maindealers do mate

btw i used to get LOTS of shite for calling people at 8:30 due to waking them up when they come off nightshift ect and other jobless bums with excuses for getting there arses out of bed

so i started to call them at 10:30 so i would get them after they watched trisha

You'd be better off using my mate an National Tyres, conversations go something like this.....

Me: Hi Si, I need 4 tyres for my RS, how much we lookin at?

Si: Well the tyres retail at Ł90 each, so we'll say Ł50 a tyre so thats Ł200. Would you like free fitting and balancing with that?

Me: Fuck it why not, mind if i see to your mrs while I'm here

Si: Not a prob

All true I'm tellin you, well apart from the mrs bit
Seriously tho anyone in the Stockport area get your arse over there, top lads
