My mum does not give two sh*ts about cars so it wont get looked at, but if it was my car I would kick and scream until the problem got sorted and I got a little bit of compensation for my troubles :angry015:

Post by: 182_blue on February 15, 2009, 09:36:46 pm: thats some serious abuse if it was you :mad: , they need to assume its there carpet that's at fault, i mean its a 58 plate, how long do they think carpets should last

Post by: JULES on February 27, 2009, 08:29:28 pm: Hello again
The car went in yesterday morning to my local dealer for a new carpet fitting, I went to pick the car up today to find that they have scratched both near side door sill taking the seats out .The previous day i had washed and leathered the car and inspected for any marks before i took it to my dealer,the car did,nt have these scrapes there .
when picking the car up i pointed out the scrapes and showed him them,he then replied they where already there?????

They will fix the problem but its not the point!!!!!

WHY CAN'T DEALERS DO THE JOB PROPERLY THE FIRST TIME AROUND AND WHERE ELSE DO YOU GO.
