ian_finlayson Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 I have to add my thanks to AWD as well. Went in on Saturday to arrange my 90,000 mile service and due to them being quick with Andy's car they managed to fit me in on tuesday. They started on the car pretty quick but on my return found a few problems. They noticed some unkown crash damage but that was no biggie as repairs done well. More unfortunate was the fact that my front brakes were basically knackered so I was looking at a big bill. I decided to uprate the brakes so later that day Mintex grooved and dimpled discs with matching pads were fitted along with reconditioned calipers and braided hoses. Those came as part of a deal to round the price up to a nice figure so they did a good deal on fitting of the hoses. Last hour of the day revealed a need for a cambelt tensioner which wasn't in stock. Never mind, stayed at family members house in Dunfermline rather than go back to Glasgow but had to drive their lovely Proton courtesy car. What a weapon that car is!! Car was ready next day and they also directed me in the way of Tr for an alignment check. All in all pleased with the service though the bill was over twice what I expected. The guys were excellent and good company for the time I spent there. I am sure I'll be back again soon enough, maybe even monday for the whiteline seminar! Car is now running great, brakes are a world better. Funniest bit was driving back without any music due to me forgetting the code. I am not sure if it was always like that but the car pops and bangs on over run all the time, easing off from 70(ahem) is just comedy. Going through town is even better Thanks Lads
jcscoob Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 << Proton courtesy car. What a weapon that car is!! >> Hahahaha Iv had it to its quality, lol , big induction kit on it it sounds mad And yea the boys fairly know there stuff
the squiggle Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Good to hear mate for the Anti Lift kit and i think i may visit AWD when i am off soon to fit said items along with the solid droplinks Grant
paddy247 Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 The proton now has some back box salvaged from a scooby lol
ian_finlayson Posted October 21, 2005 Author Posted October 21, 2005 I thought it sounded a bit throaty going down the road but when i got to my uncles I nearly wet myself when I saw the exhaust. One massive 4 inch pipe hanging out of a p reg proton. Not bad acceleration joining the motorway though! I especially liked the angled drivers seat back. Gives a good one handed seating chav position. I didn't try any of grants handbrake parking though!!
Johnny50 Posted October 21, 2005 Posted October 21, 2005 Ouot of interest... What do AWD charge for a 90k service ?
ian_finlayson Posted October 22, 2005 Author Posted October 22, 2005 Dont forget the SIDC discount plus remember that they uprate all the varioius parts, i.e. 5.1 dot brake fluids, competition oils and plugs
