So a little bit of fun here no names no need for that just an insight into pricing of work on zeds 14 years ago and some a little sooner, have loads of these receipts and some of the prices are mind boggling...

 

So a run of the mill oil change, nothing simpler.....how much would you pay?

 

 

 

A more serious upgrade one here, but given I know this ecu has a generic chip in the software cost was enormous..

 

 

 

Have some more howlers I will take pics and post some more, I have been crying with laughter here at some, the garages must have just been thinking up numbers and doubling them and then double again...Lol

Jesus you can buy another zed for that last invoice price nowdays lol

Wow!! 14 years ago, 3k?? You could almost buy a house, lol

S e stands for south east nissan maldon by any chance

If the second invoice is from SE, then the prices for the injectors and ICs are inline with the published prices

in their catalogue of that period.

 

Hi Jeff, my rear brake center light came through the post today thanks.

Yer SE nissan. I had a fast road box off them years ago!!

aahhh yes. silvia engineering (se) Nissan. They ruined my car and had it for years and never put it right :no:

Ahhhh I remember them...... took my Z to them for over fuelling...... got a £400 bill without warning or calling me...... Then when I went to collect my car someone had used it for parts for other customers cars..........

Never did actually get them to cough up for my clear indicators, side repeaters, rear lights, etc...... that they took off and sold to other customers........ NEVER went back there!!!!

Years of phone calls and letters and they just refused to sort it out, then denied it ever happened.......

I am sooooo glad I can do things myself to save some money......... until I find I did it wrong and have to redo the job again.........lol

so your saying you car was at a garage for work and while it was there they removed parts from your car then sold them then gave you your car back with no indicator or rear lights then you payed them and £400 then drove of home with no rear lights ? something sounds funny there

I had car low loadered there with no front or rear bumpers...... and interior missing as it was in for leather trimming.......

Apparently someone mistook it for a breaker they had in their yard and sold the parts.........

I had low loader pick it up for me and drop it to my work......

I was ****** off that they admitted the mistake........ then spent a year telling me the manager wasn't there when I popped in or telephoned..... then he had left.... then they knew nothing about it......

that's crossing the line selling parts of your car there is no way on the earth I would have payed or let them rip me off in that way very harsh that I have to say

Box of matches x 3am in the morning = being able to sleep at night with ones self:thumbup1:

T'was paid over phone before they let the recovery driver pick up the car, so I couldn't see that the bits were missing till it returned.......

Manager blamed workshop, workshop admitted they were told to use my car for parts, management went into hiding for a year or so......

In the end I just told every customer that came into the car spares shop I ran, what had happened to me and a let them pass the word not to use them......

 

This is why recommendations of good reliable companies is a must with a Z..... For instance...... Jimmer, Jeff TT (Mr Z World) , Mike at MJP, Luke at Z centre, Noel - TurboNoz, Phutumuch + loads of others on here........

I Can't speak highly enough of the help I have been given and the superb quality of the workmanship + customer service of these guy's and others on here........ restores faith in descent workmanship and honest traders / businesses......
