I dont want to put anyone off from going to them but i will just outline some of the problems i had.
1.. I rang them the day before the install to make sure everything was alright.And then they told me they were snowed under and it would be another 2 weeks before it would happen.Without even calling me.

2.. The owner of the place said i could have one of the cars there for a day to drive around while it was getting done to compensate for the change of date.Rang the day before to check again and they had forgotten to write it down and lent it out to some other customer.Boy was i fuming at this stage. Had to hire a car for 2 days.

3.. On the day it was to be finished i rang yet again to see what time to pick it up.4 pm i was told.Got there at 4 and they said it would be 15 min more.Didnt get out till eventually 5.30.Fuming yet again and sitting in the office for more then 1 and a half hours i finally got the car and by the end of the street the Disco stalled.It wouldnt idle! So i went back the next day and told them to fix it straight away.

4.. I got all sorts of reasons from leads to dizzy,rotor,plugs and anything else he could come up with.So i replaced all of those and it would still cut out every now and then.Also my cd stacker which was bolted in the rear was just unbolted for the install and left to slide around in the back.

5.. You cant adjust the mixtures anymore because the mixer is stuffed.I can only fill my tank up to 50 litres.And thats running them to empty.Apparently they need to bend a rod or something in the tank so it can fill more.And i have to run the tank to empty before they can do it.And then book it in.

These are the problems i had with them but other people may have had none at all.So just make sure if your getting it done go to someone who you know will do the job right the first time.Now that i finally got that all out of my system i think its time for a drink.

OK, maybe a bad luck run.
When I booked mine in they said it would be 3-4 months before they can do because a/ busy and b/ parts on backorder, I was in no hurry anyway plus I was o/s for 6 weeks during that time.
It did turn out to be 4 months.
I arranged a courtesy car which was there for me.
They said it would take 2 days and it did, I did have to wait an extra 1hr but I did not mind.
Job quality looks Ok to me, so far no problems really, mind you, only on 2nd tank full.
