if hes busy, he wont answer the phone, drop him an email and he will hopefully get back to you

or email saying you will ring in an hour or 2 then ring him

If you want him to open your email first, mention that you're going to give him some money for free in the title .

Won't answer the phone if he's busy? Sounds like great business sense to me!

Im sure if he was to answer the phone to every call that he got then no work would be done as he would keep getting niterupted.

Now i know if my car was there id rather he got the work done and out the way so he was able to answer the phone and except more business?

so if hes on his own and tony isnt about or vice versa... you have 3 cars in all wanting to be collected the week before, you should drop tools and answer the phone every time it rings..?

have you ever been to martins place, or any businsess for that matter that doesnt have dedicated staff on reception all day?

nothing would get done

Never been no, just thinking that if you start a job, don't answer the phone during it and three weeks later you complete it, then you have nothing booked in for the next day as you didn't answer the phone to book it in?

If he's that busy, a receptionist might be worthwhile Plus get a fit one and you can oggle her when having a tea break

What is an oggle? Would she enjoy it?


EDITED:
Seems I've being doing it for most of my life without realising what it's called

1. To stare at the breasts or ass of a woman with out their knowledge.
see also "learing".

2. A state of lust a man enters when in the company of any woman, due to the fact that he really does not see the woman before him. Since behind his dopey glazed over eyes he's putting the image of Jadah over the woman in his presence.

How little do you know? - your money's gone!! How else can he afford to replace a forged crank on his Escort

Bullet:

Nah seriously, he's a busy chap (seems to have a reputation for building ok cars) and everyone is after him!

PM, email and try the phone again - he may have been out on road test, or already dealing with someone else.

Default Contacting of Martin

From first hand experience, Martin is far better at replying to E-Mails.

I must of done his head in (bless ) With me keep calling all the time.

Mike Rainbird has been a complete GOD in rebuilding relations for me. Martin is a busy chap and likes to get on with the job in hand and as he is very honest in saying every time the phone rings, he has to answer it, when it rings 20 or so times a day it stops him working with his hands.

So for me i can understand and as Martin pointed out, when he gets a mail, and he is on lunch he can reply but he did say if its a long mail it takes him longer, so just remember short is sweet. Apart from that Martin is a very honest and upfront guy which is unusual in this day and age.
