Thank you to the members on this forum who have got in contact regarding this thread. I think there’s certainly some clearing up to be done.
Matt : you wanted me to sponsor the forum, I was happy to do so, I selected the forum side that I would like to sponsor but we couldn’t come to an agreement. I then did not post any advertisement for my business. If people post about me after I’ve worked on their cars, that’s something I cannot control. I had people message me for my services which I of course replied to. I will also hold my hands up and say I did message people too that were in my area who were looking for help. This is not advertising. People share technical support all over this forum. That’s one of the best things about the forum. I understand you may have a sour taste in your mouth after I simply told you where to go when you messaged me a year later asking me for a couple of grand. I even said if there’s a problem delete me from the forum.
Badmouthing my work, when I in fact have had more experience and qualifications on these cars than yourself, is not on. Slandering my name and my business name really reflects who you are and what business you run. I get we are in competition with each other. You take my business and I take yours, that’s business. It’s how it goes.
I take great pride in my work, my reviews and my customer base reflect that. If you’ve had a car go through your doors which I’ve worked on previously and somethings not correct or whatever, I urge the customers and also yourselves to approach me in a mature way and We can settle it as I have done with this case
I have indeed too had cars come to me after they’ve been at your place for work needing rectification and things not how they should be. People make mistakes. We’re not perfect I get that. Main dealers make mistakes. You make mistakes. I make mistakes. don’t act like the sunshine shines out of your backside. Your business is far from perfect. Trust me. As is mine.
checking cars over for a PPI is a Visual inspection only. I test the subframes then and there with a tiny little corrosion hammer. the same ones that mot testers use. This one was corroded but passed the test. It was advised that it was corroded on the PPI. There is only so much you can do before the owners of the car get upset with you hammering at a car. Would you like someone hammering away at your car who you don’t know? Of Course not
as for rspiller, he is a valued customer of mine and has trusted me from the first phone call to today and I respect that. We have just had a phone call and discussed our next movement with the car after it’s back from a body repair. I have sourced a low mileage (18k miles) subframe which is absolutely mint and will be fitting it to the GT free of charge.This isn’t a case of me bowing down and saying ‘ I did something wrong’ because I didn’t. I value Rory’s custom, I know how long he’s wanted this GT in this exact colour and spec and how much he did enjoy it before someone whacked into it.
I have no need to monitor this thread after this comment as I’ve said what I’ve needed to say and have come to a resolution with the customer.
thank you
Dale
