Stupid Garage!! - Saxperience

CloVis · 5th August 2007, 20:03

Was meant to get my car back friday after the MOT, but the stupid place ordered the wrong wheel bearing in!!! not going to get it back till monday!!
are wheel bearings hard to get or something?!

Oh my god, now monday. Rang the garage to arrange to pick car up, turns out they havent even ordered the part!!!!!! i now havent had a car for like 5 days just for a poxy wheel bearing, takes the piss. They so better give me one big discount.

you got a push bike, scotter or skate board?

why the fuck bother replying then?????????/

i would just go out on one of them and relive my youth, probs go and seek on my mates and give the a backer or a lift on the handle bars lol that would be cool.

i hate it when people mess with a car, then say they carnt get it done when they told you it would be done by.

feel like saying, 'HOW TW@ IF I HAD KNOWN THAT,I WOULD HAVE TOOK IT SOMEWHERE ELSE, YOU LYING TW@' lol

hope you get it sorted

CloVis · 5th August 2007, 20:14

know exactly how you feel my car was in the garage for two weeks when it was meant to be a quick simple thing. you dont realise how much you rely on your car til it goes!

CloVis · 5th August 2007, 20:23

i no ive been using my old legs lol, cant wait to get it back though!!

CloVis · 6th August 2007, 11:57

Im so annoyed, why the f*k should it take that long. Nowhere anywhere has got a wheel bearing at all. My dads having to give me a lift to shi*ty work, where i get paid peanuts, and the garage is saying there going to charge more if they get the bearing from dover. Even though he said the dover place dont have one!!!!!!!! anyone got a mk1 wheel bearing going!! proberly be a lot quicker. haha. arghhhhhhhhh

Jacko · 6th August 2007, 12:01

OK wooooosaaaaaaaaa! just wait till its fixed and pay whatever he quoted first time round! no sense in worrying or getting stressed out about it!

CloVis · 6th August 2007, 12:05

Well there is, cos i cant get to work and im bored as fuk. lol. I hate not having a car. It would be ok if they was ok about it, but ordering the wrong part then forgetting to re-order the right one in again takes the mic.
Plus he just hung up on me, when i asked how much the cost would be. tut

Jacko · 6th August 2007, 12:11

seems to be takin the piss a bit yea..but it happens sometimes...just reember never to use them again if you need sumthin done!

willsy · 6th August 2007, 12:24

No idea what theyre playing at any garage should be able to get a part as simple as that for the same working day (depending on time ordered) or certainly the next working day.

A front wheel bearing is £17 for me locally, even if you paid slightly extra and got the part ordered directly from Citroen (sure in this instance ud rather pay the extra and get your car back) then you'd have the part next day.

Sounds like they are taking the p*ss, try and wrangle a discount and then find another garage next time round thats going to be reliable

Try sourceing the parts yourself

lmao @ boz lets start a sax-p scooter gang when every1 has there car in the garage we have a 50cc meet hahahaha

CloVis · 6th August 2007, 13:12

Well apparently its a odd model, because it was the last one of the phase1 model. Doesnt make much sense to me, but i have rang around all local garages as far as canterbury ( from dover ). No where has the certain part - they think they do untill they search under the Reg number.

Jacko · 6th August 2007, 13:19

you have some sh*t luck clo lol! sax-p would be rather dull without your weekly rants!

jennifer1987 · 6th August 2007, 13:20

well your doing better than me my car has been in the garage for 2 months.
and it is nowhere near finish yet prop got another month to go if not more ahhh! oh well. mind you my need more than a wheel bearing.
good luck
