A month or so ago I took my cat to a mod garage in PAIGNTON devon called "WATSON AUTOMOTIVE", and to cut a long story short, one of my mates saw them doing burnouts in the rear yard with my car... I had took it in for an exhaust adjustmnent & just said i'll be back in a couple of hours. My mate was in checking on a job & some of the staff were sat in it revving the **** out of it to spin the back wheels... ****ers... TAKE YOUR CAR HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK! C**nts!

bastids!! What was the outcome???

 

 

 

 

Oh and how did they manage to donut yer cat??? ;)

im very weary as when it comes to leaving my car at a garage, u just dont know what they get up 2!!

I wouldn't take my CAT to any garage ;)

Damn spelling lol... my car of course (yes she purrs but no, not a cat! lol)

 

Sent the guys a letter last week & an email yesterday yet to hear anything. They are this area's "Powerflow" dealer & if I dont get a suitable response will be emailing powerflow next...

 

Bastids... :rant:

poor wee cat...lol

There a Tyre garage on penarth road in cardiff who i've seen do the same - my mate left his skyline there overnight only to come back and find 5miles extra on the clock and DEFINATELY NOT brand new tyres on the back (though thats what it went in for)

Ended up with the tyres for free but its not on!!!

well out of order ,but this does go on

i used to work in a garage in huntinbgdon and not once was a customers car abused in any way as it was grounds for instant dismisal i cant believe the way some people abuse other peoles trust

Think the best one I heard last week, it was in the local paper was a guy who just bought a brand new Suburu Imprezza STI WRX 6 months ago and decided to take it back to Vospers garage where he bought it to have it valeted...

 

As you all know the weather was really shitty last week and the main manager at Vospers was away on holiday so one of the young lads and his mate who we're doing the valet decided saw the keys in the car and decided to take it for a spin at lunch time seeing as the keys we're in it!!!! Really Bad move!!! :rant: :x:

 

 

It was really wet and blowing like a ******* outside and the 2 18yr olds took it for a spin around the country roads near us with nasty bends and basically lost control of it on wet leaves. They hit a Volvo head on at what the police recon was an 80MPH impact crash. :headvswal The Suburu ended up in mid air clearing the nearest hedge and landed smack straight into a tree and rolling on it roof in one of the fields..

 

The old couple in the Volvo are ok but had to be cut out :rant: ... Really nasty but thank god they we're in an Volvo 850... :bow: Suburu is a right off, and Vospers never told the customer about the accident right away so later on they ring to see if they can pick there car up! :x: Imagine what Vospers had to tell them!!! :mac1:

 

As far as I know obviously the lads have been fired and are facing criminal prosecution as well as a ban from driving + fines and Vospers have gotta buy the customer a brand new Suburu!!! The moral of this story is, clean the car yourself next time!!! :D

The same's just happened to a guy in Exeter... took his race-tuned lotus exige in for a valet & they took it for a spin and wrote it of... to**ers!

when my old man used to have his own window firm we had a van with accident damage , antways cut a long story short, they had the van for 3 weeks was only back door,

me old pa asked me to drop in and findout what the fook was taking them so long , as im standing there the van pulled in around the back , so i went out to see what was going on , it was full of parts , bumpers etc for other viechles ,the cheecky coonts were using it for deliverys etc !! over 120 miles extra on the clock , needles to say got full tank of fuel , and told the insurance company to stick there excess up there arse, which they refunded!

Quick update, got a reply from boss, very apologetic, sure that my witness just saw some "Genuine exhaust system testing" but will be speaking to those involved, and offered to pay for any damage to vehicle that may have been caused (after an inspection of course), all in all I am fairly happy that someone is going to get their ass kicked & thats all i wanted really.

I also work in garage and anybody that would dare to abuse customers cars gets the bullet !!

only time we ever "played" witha customers car was after it was a complete mot faliure £2500 worth of work on an old fiesta work out the maths well we chipped in bought the car and stripped it out then used it as a bumpercar was funny as fook

That's not a big end bearing knock is it Dave? :eek:;) Free rebuild hehe

You want me to post this on other forums mate? I'm on UJCC and theres quite a few people from that area. I'd be pi*sed if they'd done that to my car. Dave
