I doubt T&C read this? And I certainly have no intention of telling them either. By asking people's opinions I wanted to make sure that if I requested them to consider offering me some form of compensation I was being reasonable and level headed rather than overreacting in the heat of the moment considering I'd had my car crunched. - can still hear that noise now! I would like to stress that thus far (apart from T&C originally offering differing quotes for the service) I have been impressed with the Customer Service they have offered and like many other posts have said the staff do genuinely seem a nice bunch. This is the first time I have used T&C for servicing as I normally use a cheaper Subaru Service place in Perthshire. I also do not agree with other comments along the lines of "take them for what you can get". I just feel some sort of compensation that appropriately reflects the incident occuring and the inconvience. If I was trading the car in to T&C and I told them it had a minor prang but fully repaired, I would expect them to value it less because of it. I shall give T&C to oppurtunity to make me an offer they feel is appropriate rather than go in there demanding a figure.

Hi Think I'll discuss it with Murray (Service Manager) as he seems pretty reasonable & probably calmed down by now after his new Discovery getting damaged too! Given the circumstances and based on your advice (thanks v mucho), I think a heavty % off the service is appropriate, but only if in addition the repair is absolutely immaculate. I hope to hear back from T&C on Friday pm, so will report back on what they offer, as I'm sure you'll all want to be reassured on the Customer Service they offer in situations just like this..

Hi A day after geting it valetted I took my treasurered Scooby into T&C this Wednesday for its 60k service (£400++) and to get new wheels fitted. Went to collect it really forward to see it with new alloys on.... However as the staff member was bringing the car round, it got a minor prang as one of T&C staff accidentally reversed into Service Manager's brand new Land rover. (gulp) They were really good about it obviously taking back the car into bodyshop for 2 day repair. My question to you folks is if the repair looks fine, do I; a) Do nothing more b ) Ask for a discount off the service c) Ask them for suitable compensation (as I can now no longer truthfully say the car has never had a knock) What do you folks think, or am I overreacting??? Cheers M

Hi I've a couple of thumbprint size dents in the bonnet, no paint damage at all, anyone recommend a good place in Aberdeen to get them popped out? Cheers Michael MY02 WRX.

Bit of a Stranger down south, but I thought this might prove useful for anyone buying a car from Central Cars in Leigh on Sea...

Thoght this might prove useful for anyone wanting to avoid Aberdeen's over hiked prices at T&C... http://forums.sidc.co.uk/forums/792957/ShowPost.aspx#792957

[] Flying east on the A920 Friday evening (22nd Sept) nr Huntly. If it was you and you read this then please take note, Grampian Police have been informed, but not really because of your speed or handling (you at least appeared in control) but of the Blue X-Type Jaguar in Pursuit (Unmarked Police car?) which very nearly clipped me as it was clinging on for dear life on a tight corner and over on my side of the road by a good foot, he must of been doing at least 90+, sadly I missed his plate due to swerving out of his way, I then pulled over and called it in. Anyone know if this sounds like an unmarked Police car operating in Huntly area??

Got minor Rust Bubbling on Seal with Windscreen... Could it be a design fault on where the Rubber Seal with the Roof meets the Windscreen, possibly allows water to pool and slowly eat away at the metal? Grateful for any advice for me to fix DIY or a cheap Bodyshop in Aberdeen

Had the 45k service done (inc cambelt) at Kenneth Melville, Errol Shell Petrol station just north of Perth on A90. Cost was £312 inc VAT (inc fixing a problem with heater, which they prob charged 30mins labour for) But thats still £70 cheaper than Town and County's quote just for the service alone. Will be going back to Errol again for the 60k )

Who do you guys use for Servicing? I have my 45,000 due and T&C appear v pricey... Thanks (in advance)
