Thread: New player...

The news is that the business has now pretty much been sold, and the new player has a grasp on the word "professionalism".

I have no intention of giving him a 'plug', nor do I intend to denigrate the previous owner, however new blood is to be welcomed. I hope to encourage him to join this forum.

As the saying goes once bittern twice shy
In all fairness i hope said person clears the back log out and runs it far more efficiently than someone else
In all honestly id never set foot in that street ever again and i know more than a few with the same feelings from personal dealings .
But they need a fair go and with that will come recommendations and i hope they are positive at that

He's making a very good fist of it so far. The place is already looking tidier, albeit with a fair way to go. I, for one, hope he makes a go of it, as the more the merrier. I reckon there'll be a bit of a clearance of stuff in the next few weeks. The changeover is scheduled for next week.

I'm refraining from saying anything nasty about the person you mentioned, as I'm hoping to get my D2 back next week.....

Im wishing you all the best honestly
So do you get a new battery and the rego cost`s for 2 +years refunded
I know that is the least of you problems but just make sure your car is in as is condition when you dropped it off and i mean that.
I could really tell you some horror story`s that would make any one`s toe nail`s curl
Good luck and i hope it really works out in your favour

I'm not getting all of that. I am getting the botched job I did on replacing a stuffed exhaust manifold stud fixed. The car was damaged in the street, and that is being fixed.

Frankly, Chris, I am just glad that it's going to be over. Even threats of VCAT produced no movement, but the new bloke doesn't want to deal with old headaches, and who can blame him?

There are many lessons to be learnt here, not least that trying to save a buck is often a fruitless exercise. If I had paid the 4 odd K and had the trans done properly in the first place I would have had the car all of this time,to drive and enjoy. In the end it will have cost me more and I still won't be confident the trans will be OK.

As I said, I hope that David can make a go of the place. He is in no doubt about how much bad blood he has to wade through. From what I have seen so far, I believe he'll do OK.

Qu. John , So has your d2 been there for 2 years for an exhaust stud? I thought it was there for a warranty claim on a botched auto trans job? The new bloke was an ex employee of the previous owner I believe, it Might be in his interest to change his trading name and start off fresh.
Any way hope it all works out in YOUR favor mate,
Cheers, Mario

I See prying eyes have been in here deleting names that no longer have anything to do with or a owner of a business .
Also for such people no business was named or shamed although a couple of names were mentioned which any joe blow would not have a clue of who or what and even the one who deleted it would not know
A bit over the top i feel.
So here are some names guess who they are and what they run and they also have nothing to do here , I guess they get deleted aswell
Bob
Richard

Geez i even mention 457 visa and it gets removed im such a racist

Why all the secrecy though?
