Competition transmission services in markyate.

I gave them a £200 deposit in june to build a stage 1 box for my s1 . long story short they took an age to build it then when i rang up to go and collect it they said ok its ready only to turn round when i got there and tell me they couldnt find it ????? then the next day when i rang they said they might have sold it .. I asked for my deposit back . They refused and are still holding my deposit they have to date not replyed to any of my emails and wont enter into any further discussion about it over the phone.

anyone else had probs with this company ???

regards

Larkins

larkins8

larkins8

i emailed the page off the website which basically said they had no right to hold my deposit but i never heard nothing from them

Mate of mine used them for his RST box, found them to be fine, good advice and helpful guys.

Hope you get it sorted fella

larkins8

thats exactly why i used them in the first place because i thought they were a respected outfit

Very strange, though Ive heard a few bad things about them when i went to them 6 months ago for a rebuild they were faultless, really really good service.

BLACKCOS

Go down and kick off in there shop when the have custmers about that should speend things along

larkins8

im surprised they have customers if they are capable of losing a gearbox in their own workshop but i think this is gonna be the next move tbh let them know i aint forgot that they are holding my hard earned .

I bought a stage 2 off them a couple years back and got lucky because they had one built ready to go but have heard so many stories where they've taken AGES with orders and refunds. Thread title really didn't suprise me...

Companies good at what they do can lose focus so quickly, shame.

Hope you get it sorted

and why wont they refund your deposit?

my box and diff was done in 3 weeks when they said 6weeks plus.. but i had it shot peened and polished so i was suprised when i got it in 3 weeks top service and very helpful.

what the hell is a shot peened?

R5FORD

iTrader: (1)

supposodly it is good for the components in the gearbox so they dont break that easly due to stress etc

Shot peening & polishing
Combats stress fracturing for high-load applications.

I rung Bernie up, ordered a box, arranged when to go down there, drove down, got box fitted, drove home and it's still in there 3 years later. Did they take a deposit purely because they had none in stock ? Did you get a receipt for the deposit ?

Ad4m RST

Shot peening shoots tiny glass beads at whatever metal you want to strengthen at up to 600mph IIRC, as said just smoothes out imperfections.

Ginge !

time has always been a issue with cts, though i doubt they are as busy as they used to be, think smit was waiting a while for hes box,,,,, SCC where the ones affected though as they had hes car there waiting for the box back to return

took 2 months to do my mates box too when they was in the " high times"

fuzzy

they still dont beat the 7 weeks pro motorsport took to change my clutch cable
shot peening sounds just like sand blasting then?

rssteve

how did you pay the deposit and did you get a receipt for the deposit?

Rab

No gearbox = deposit back. I can't understand why they wouldn't return it........

pee vee

Mate of mine had to wait and wait for his back.. ended up being on the phone chasing it up for days and weeks.. turned up eventually

fuzzy

sound like a right bunch of tools.

craigos

should get you a box and your doh back wierd that

s-line

sorry to hear ya having trouble lad. i took my atlas axle to them to fit a c,w,p and my l,s,d unit and to have them fit new bearings and seals, three days later got the call to collect, no probs at all! very polite and knew exactly what i needed just by description over the phone! hope ya get it sorted!

Rab

Can you image if it was somewhere like a car rental firm or a holiday company?

"Hi there, we've lost the Focus you were going to hire, and because we're pissed off with ourselves we're keeping your deposit. Sorry about that..."

You'd kick off and go proper mental!

how did you pay dude? because if you used a CC you can get them to pull your money back without even involving CTS. Also did you get receipt for your deposit?

If they're still screwing you around in a week or so and refuse to talk go to small claims courts....you will have to pay out around £25-30 IIRC but when you win CTS will have to pay your deposit and the court costs....

Cheers

larkins8

his only explaination was he could build me another one!!! to which i said no thanks

larkins8

yes deposit was because they didnt have a box in stock and paid over the phone by card and they never sent me a recipt but ive obviously got proof i paid them from my bank

Chris Honeywell

What the fucks up with people
you got no box!! they don't have one for you and yet they refuse to giveyou your deposit back???..

Don't get that attitude at all

They wanna keep your deposit for what?? the fact that THEY have pissed you about?

either get in the bank now or do a small claims court route
