Just got my service done on my car

[grumpa]

I personally would never take my car anywhere near a quik fit! Had to go to one cos I was desperate for new tyres they badly scratched my alloys got sealent allover wheels and didn't even attempt to clean it off. Then when I was driving away found they hadn't even balance them. When I complained there response was " what do you expect we only did it as a favour for you"

Took one of my trucks to a 'Monroe" tire dealer and spent big bucks {large truck tires very expensive} got about a mile down the road and started feeling some severe wobbling, upon pulling over I found they had not tightened the lug bolts I called them from where I was and voiced my outrage especially since my wife and granddaughter were on board. can you believe the moron there told me "well just get it back here and we'll tighten those babies right up for ya" I explained in as polite a way as I could {granddaughter in ear shot} that he must be mad to think that that was going to happen. Then he actually had the nerve to say " well don't you have a tire wrench? can't you just tighten them yourself" This response I had to take a bit of a walk down the road to answer, to make a long story a bit shorter, one of their lackeys arrives after about a half hour, now mind you they were less than a mile away. A { dumb teenager } in his private vehicle who then attempts to tighten them with an x-wrench, I immediately stopped him and said "are you joking? where's that big service truck that was parked in your lot when I left?" I said I want this truck jacked up and the lugs properly tightened with a pneumatic impact gun, where upon he explained to me that he was only the sweep up guy and not allowed to operate the vehicle. can you believe that after spending over a thousand bucks and after they endangered our lives that we should be treated in such a way? Well, I made the idiot drive me back to the shop where upon I had a bit of a private meeting with the manager. I informed him in no uncertain terms that not properly addressing this situation, and that such incompetence and endangerment will not go unreported to "corperate", big franchise chain you know, and that he would be very lucky if HE had the "sweep up job" by the time I was through with him! Well needless to say we were properly serviced and was refunded the cost of two out of four tires Us old "Rangers" have a saying......"Mess with the best, die like the rest".................Jim
