Niggling thoughts after being in the garage...

Fake Elvis said:

Anyone else feel the same way as me?

My hippo has just been in to have a coolant pipe replaced and the aux belt replaced (135k miles and never been done so thought it was about time), and i have just had a good look around him, rear window (fixed one on drivers side) has a chip in it (only small but i notice these things) and 2 of the screws holding the bumper in on the drivers side are missing! Arrgghhh - phone call to them tomorrow!

Why is it that no-one looks after anything as well as i do or am i just expecting too much ? from a garage!

resolution - do more work myself!

I seriously doubt this has anything to do with the work you have had done!
I work in the motor trade and have lost count of the times that people only look round their car after is has left the garage and not before and blame the garage for every mark in the cars entire life or when the radio stops working three months later it's the garages fault as they were the last people to work on the car!:doh:

I did 3 years of modern tap dancing before realising I was better at taking bollocks.
Really just wanted to vent some anger, you can't knock me for that.

MMMM also met brain dead sacks of ****s of customers who you actually try to help out then they talk to their mate who "knows a lot about cars 'cause he once changed the oil on his 1984 Mini" or read some utter bull**** on the internet!
Believe it or not but some of us sacks of **** are genuine but some people are just so far up their own arse that they can't see daylight!
