STiG Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I know some people speak highly of Fitz within the club so I am not intending to start an argument.Having got an issue with my car that was running me against a time barrier I went to see Fitz on Wednesday and asked if it was possible to solve. It wasn't anything difficult but it was something that needed a little working around. He reassured me repeatedly that it could be done and told me not to worry and that he would sort it out. He was very Blazé about it and given other peoples opinions and dealings I believed he was going to be good to his word.I arrived at the agreed time of 8am. No Fitz and his mechanic didn't know what was happening. He arrived at 08.40 and breakfast was priority. At 9am they moved my car to a different garage out of sight. I had no clue what was going on and between 9 and 11:30 they couldn't tell me how long a job that's normally half an hour was going to take. Eventually at 11.40 and before they returned with the car they charged me for trying the job anyway before telling me that it couldn't be done. With my car not being there it felt a bit like I was being held to ransom. If I refused to pay or said I'd only pay half because they only did half of what they said they would, I didn't know where my car was and they weren't exactly forthcoming with information whenever I asked them how long it would be or where the car was. Fitz wasn't really bothered the day before whether he could or couldn't do the job, all he was worried about was making a bit of cash. I complained about this and they went back to the garage and left me for another half hour before saying it still couldn't be done.Thats £35 and 4 hours of my life I will never see again. Fortunately someone else from within Mids Scoobies was able to help me and after a nice relaxing drive all was sorted. Fortunately there are some people out there who will say they can do something and actually do it without feeding you crappola! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteknuckleride Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 i think the problem is we all have good and bad experiences at garageswe have our favourites where we have had good service and felt happythen we have all had our bad experiences and will not return to some garagesi have been to top boss a couple of times and they have no complaints, sometimes at short notice, and even without charge when they helped me once after being a complete retard!!!on the up side..........glad a member of ms helped you out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 i would have battered that fitz bloke if that had happened to me So my post was removed yet you can threaten to batter some one on a thread, how is that different, I wasnt threatening and was reporting what has happened over the years,yet again 1 rule for your mates and 1 rule for the scum who pass thru then ?

STiG Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 So my post was removed yet you can threaten to batter some one on a thread, how is that different, I wasnt threatening and was reporting what has happened over the years,yet again 1 rule for your mates and 1 rule for the scum who pass thru then ?Far be it from me to defend the dictatorship but in this instance I think its a case that we all know that Ady couldn't batter a sausage, whereas your post was directly implying an illegal act. Andy contacted me about the post and whilst I was wanted to make sure people knew of the situation and could make their own mind up if they used Top Bodge in the future, my intention wasn't to get the club in trouble with anyone, especially a sponsor (Who knew? I didn't)So in fairness have a pop at me not the mods on that one dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
