As this is the skill and cuffy thread, could you tell us where you choose to take you business nowdarben said:I've found similar attitude from them also, and have found them to be poor since the other guy left a couple of years ago. Particulary since I had cause to take my car elsewhere to sort a fault that they couldn't seem to get right and always told me it was my fault (probably so they could keep charging me) , it was rectified immediatley and cheaply by another garage and the problem has never occured again. I take my car elsewhere now and won't go near them.Todaysbestmix said:A couple of years ago I took my old escort cabriolet that I've restored to A1 on the Wolverhampton road to get a quote for a full respray. I'd used the garage loads of times when it was run by John (Mc something or other) and always been really happy with their work. Apparrently John had left and this other guy came and sneered at my car and basically said 'its gonna be over a grand' and walked off. I knew this was the going rate and would have been quite happy to pay that but his attitude put him out of the running there and then.
I couldn't help sniggering to myself when a month or so later this very same guy was pictured on the front of the Newsletter looking very sad because they'd closed the Wolverhampton Road for roadworks and this had taken all his trade away!
What goes around......
FMS is still pretty good but not the cheapest - I guess you get what you pay for though. I'll never darken A1's doorstep again - shame really, I've spent loads with them over the years.shoes said:As this is the skill and cuffy thread, could you tell us where you choose to take you business now
Yes, I read about your plight on the other thread - i wouldn't generally consider a vauxhall, but if i did i would certainly be avoiding that place!Tinkerbell said:Vision Vauxhall in Stafford - because they sell ex Enterprise leese cars - and tell you they have 1 previous owner (little misrepresented there). They are thrashed to death. I know this has a separate link (just in case anyone reviews Vision in Stafford)
Had loads of major issues with an Insignia car I purchased in June (12 months old) - finally palmed it off on another garage
Vision kept having the car back and did work on it - but still had problems with wobbly steering ... bit dangerous
yeah been doing that all day, even wrote a letter quoting the relevant bits of the act for them and took it in, will be going in again tomorrow when apparantly the person who is actually allowed to give refunds is in!tek-monkey said:All a load of BS in my experience, and something Overclockers in Stoke tried on me once. Your contract is with the people you purchased the item from, you have no contract whatsoever with the manufacturer and they don't have to deal with you.
As always I found talking very loudly and repeatedly mentioning breached sections of the sale of goods act worked a treat, they always cave in.
Thank you J-C - hey we have the same initials!juice-comedy said:A billion skill points to Jade Clothing. Shopping for a wedding dress for my best friend's wedding, we have been to numerous stores in and around Stafford. Aside from the usual bunch of very pushy sales people who don't understand why a wedding has to have a budget, some shops have a very snooty attitude.
But Jade Clothing were incredible helpful, friendly and understanding, pointed us in the direction of the second-hand designer dresses, explained the pricing system and payment plans, and even put a dress aside for my friend so she can get show her Mom before buying.
Excellent, helpful service, very good prices, friendly atmosphere.
