I have 3 cars in different shops and every one is in an abyss--- a black hole of promises unfulfilled ( dramatic enough (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) ) . So I am now officially on suicide watch. There is no one who commits to s_____ anymore...
The track car is now at 3 months waiting for the carburetor Nazi ( you know who I mean) to ship the big ones that he demands the money for when you place the order. Another project for body work that would "take a week" ...Waited about 5 months to get in and now at 2 more without progress. Last car was simple engine bay paint that I mistakenly added a fender to improve ..."but don't even attempt unless you get perfect match" "Call me when you get back from vacation I should be done" ( week and a half) one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... I got back to ..."I'm leaving town for 1/2 week"...then this week ..."oh I missed the color" ) then " have to go in for outpatient surgery "......but I'l be back Monday ..........( yeah but wont be able to lift a gun to paint dumb ass) Do I sound F-ing bitter ...No I' m on suicide watch I can't be bitter ...And my guess is we all get the same shit ! And we F ---ing tolerate it ..>Seriously we are pinheads and I am Prez of the club (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Don't worry I am obviously too stupid to pull the trigger and there are no cars in the garage to take a midnight cruise to nowhere in. |

Same in my country,poor turnaround time even with insurance work,lots of promises and smiles they appear to be good at that.
My last Audi was 6 weeks to get minor work done,they couldn't get it started so they jumped it without protection and fried the CCM ,they admitted the fact and quess who payed me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ,worse thing is the owner and I had been friends for 20yrs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) . My current Audi was very badly damaged in a mall accident,not my fault but did I complain, no,went all around town asking all people I know the best company and they all came back with the same answer. Went to this repairer we talked and he knew these cars,parts arrived and car was repaired in 14 working days to a very high standard as I told them I was fussy RIGHT from the start. One revisit for a few small items and car is good as new taking into account this was a 10K repair,oh and by the way the clever guys there are all older (45- 55yrs old) the young guys do the wet sanding/buffing and not much else. Restoration work is just the same as you guys have to put up with,you get a good price from a good shop but become an in between job ,they get more work and you become a ''must get round to that job'' customer..... |
