GMG said:...tis' a completely unregulated industry; I have had so many poor experiences with Garages and Car Dealers that I simply don't trust them and will always do my own spannering whenever I can because I can do a job properly !
My stepson has spent his entire career in the motor trade and the stories he can recount would make your toes curl...
Currently running the body shop of a premium marque...last week during a visit saw a new customers car in the booth having paint work after being damaged during a routine service...he tells me this happens all the time; week before he repaired a brand new yet to reach its new owner £80k car damaged in the dealership!
They charge £138 ph...
Spanner Monkeys...

All i can say is that my eyes have been opened after reading on this forum .. not a bad thing to be fair ..
I always assumed all garages were pretty much equal .. it wasnt until comeing here i learnt the harsh truth and ill be honest it shocked me.
I dont consider this to be a hard trade .. there are a few tricky problems but over all its not a job i consider that needs a huge amount of intelligence .. i certainly dont consider myself to be intelligent to the likes of you guys.
I fix cars .. you often run businesses .. BIG difference .
For garages to act the way they do .. theres no words i can say .. it depresses me .. it lets my trade down ... and im proud to be a Porsche Mechanic
I provide a service for a reasonable profit .. it seems some people dont do that .
All i can add is i come here to try and explain whats wrong .. what it should cost and help out that way as theres nothing more i can do to help out ..
I also consider it a pleasure to do so .
