Maxxed_Ross Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) Went in the other day to get the tracker on the RB changed to my number and the service guys were fantastic. really helpful and sorted everything out for me very quickly Anyway I'll certainly be back if anything else needs doing Edited February 4, 2009 by Maxxed_Ross Link to comment
Rab555 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Glad you got it sorted no problem Ross I was quite dissappointed with the guys down there, none of them were very helpful, none of them seemed to be bothered about helping either, probably because Im arriving in an excessively loud rusty non-turbo, although that would be guessing... maybe i caught them on off 'days' Link to comment
mystery machine Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Ian Greive's service department has been OK with me so far - usually polite, helpful etc. Perhaps a wee bit reluctant to get properly stuck into one 'not quite run-of-the-mill' problem, but then I suppose most garages are a lot keener on the 'meat and potatoes' servicing than potentially tricky diagnoses. I've only had fleeting experience with their sales department. Car salesmen (well OK, any salesman) I only have so much time for, but the guy at Grieves was fine - laboured some of his points a little, but he was never arrogant or patronising. Actually, I dunno if it was our resident forumite Gav I dealt with - Gav, are you the younger guy or the older guy? Or perhaps I should ask, "do you like to labour a point"? Link to comment

As you say, might've been an off day. Maybe the nearby snack bar was out of square sausage or summat Link to comment
Maxxed_Ross Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 I get that alot because I look too young to be taken seriously. Soon as I mention I work offshore that usually changes things slightly lol But normally by then it's too late. In the car business you can't assume anything about anyone Link to comment

Not that I look very young, I just look skint. Don't get me wrong, I actually am skint - just not as skint as they think I am Link to comment

mystery machine Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'm the middle of the road guy! one younger,one older. gavs the one with the white hair and looks his age Ah - in that case it was probably the younger chap 'don't like to labour a point m8'So dont think it was me. Gav You missed a trick there, Gav - I was expecting:"I don't like to labour a point, so I don't think it was me. So let's be perfectly clear on this - I will NOT labour a point. One last time, so we're absolutely crystal - I am not in the business of labouring points. Me - point - labour - NO." P.S. In all seriousness, the guy was fine with me - no complaints Link to comment
mystery machine Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 P.S. Gav - do you have one bunch of sales guys for Isuzi and one for Subaru, or do y'all flog both? Link to comment
colzo Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I'm the middle of the road guy! one younger,one older. Are you sure Gav? On a serious note, can't say a bad word about Grieves. Charlie at the service / aftersales is first class and Gav will always take time to talk to you and is an enthusiast like us. Link to comment

Shelly_Scooby Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Must admit been in a few times now! and the service has been really good! New to the Scobby scene though! Was in getting a part at the sales desk and one of the reps even asked me if I had just had a belt change or a service done as he could smell coolant! And was worried I may have a leak!!!!! Good of him to bring that to my attention luckily it was only coolant coming out of the expansion tank as it was overfilled (thank dad for that one ) Link to comment
