GODSPEED not so speedy!!
If i'd read some of the comments about Ian from Godspeed brakes on here I would have never considered using him, but unfortunately at the end of July i sent £600 to him for a set of 4pot calipers and 300mm discs.
I have had so many excuses and have lost count the number of times i have phoned, left messages and emailed him. Initially the excuse was that they had been sent and were simply 'lost in the mail' although he could provide me with no tracking number, now my 'second set' is being made up for me and he has been promising to send this for around 2 weeks, but everyday i ring up he's 'just finishing them'.
The last few days when I have rang all i get is the answer phone.
I'm so angry at the stupid Welsh FU*K.. the only problem is I'm in Lincolnshire and its a hell of a drive to go and pick them up myself or demand my money back.
Has anyone been through similar problems with him recently or got any advice as to what I should do?
