dan_jess Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 Thats true. Its up to the garage to get and maintain a good reputation. I dont think many people wud be happy if they had to go thru the same thing as written on Snet Link to comment
oz *sti* Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I like quite a lot of people on here use greer's - and I for one think there work is top notch A1, all the work they have done for me head gaskets, new radiator, new clutch, headers, fuel pump etc, etc... Bill, colin, Alan and Jason have always been up front with me with prices and timescales and they have always made me feel welcome when ever I pop by or am getting work done. Link to comment

drb5 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Exactly what i mean! Slated when you mention ANYTHING bad! The good old freedom of speech, is thrown out again. Link to comment

frank c Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 If you read what has happened i think you would have a different opinion..I'd be more concerned about driving back to Edinburgh with the car in such a state. Frank. Link to comment
jcscoob Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 [:#] Free speach eh, lol !! [:#] If a garage dose lots of good things thay get the odd thank you, but if thay do one thing wrong they get slated forever more, i guess thats just the way it is, tuff at the top !! [:|] Link to comment
drb5 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Bit of a contradiction there, from your first post, GT. [8-)] Link to comment
dougster Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 As posted on the other dealer thread. People please keep in mind it's the club that suffers and NOT me if any dealer wishes to take any comments posted on OUR forums further. Just in case anyone thinks MY comments are directed at individuals. Cheers. Link to comment
frank c Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 JC..I think the garages that do good things have had more than their fair share of thank you's..... Haven't really read much negative reports or people slating them for ever more...imo.. I'm just glad it's not my car... Link to comment
jcscoob Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Well if every time there was a happy punter came away from a garage and posted on here saying thank's the whole forum would be a wash with thank you notes, and this unhappy post will go on and on, but saying that people should know all the bad stuff to, and i would be mega pi$$ed of if it was me, maybe they should have said your car isint right and it cant leave here till it is right, so take one of our's to get you home. Just my point. [] Link to comment
wilky Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Its always the same. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Its the same when people go AWD bashing, or BHP development bashing, or Wallace bashing, the list goes on and on. Its like the old army saying "No one remembers you by the last good thing you did, they remember you by your last f**k up" This is the same old story. I like Greers, Im sorry that boy had a bad experience, etc etc, but its not going to stop me from using that garage. Like wise if I lived in Perth I would probabley use AWD, despite the negative things people have to say, Im quite sure if the Greers had actually realised what had happened they would have been mortified. Unless you actually tell someone what has gone on and how it has affected you then it just sits and festers. Sad, but it wont stop me using thier services. Callum W Link to comment
