Bad main stealer - WATCH OUT

Excellent, at least your moving in the right direction.

I hope the offer is enough.

Yes, I agree about the Friday afternoon car, I'd never heard that phrase until now! 'lemon' being the other one.

I learnt the same too about good and bad service being spread by word of mouth. If I get good service somewhere, I will always tell as many people I can, to try and even the balance. It's true though, because you are angry, you want to tell people to get it off your chest, thats where the ten comes from. If you are happy, it's what you expect in the first place so really you don't rave about it too much. I'm just fed up of it in the motor trade. It's a trade I've worked in for over 10 years, one i take great interest and pride in working but there are too many sectors now which are very slap dash, bringing shoddy workmanship and bad customer care, quite frankly, I'm sick of it. It has to change or the only manufacturers left, are going to be the ones who give good service, not the ones who make lovely cars! Just look at the top gear car survey. The worst offenders are the ones you expect to be coming top like Mercedes being a good example of bad service/vehicle reliability whereas someone like Hyundai are coming in the top 10???, it makes worrying reading!

I'm glad its working out, this little saga is going the same way as the last complaint that was posted on here.

Its good that its does get resolved, but  bit sad that it takes so long, and annoys someone enough to "make" them post about it.

Never mind Hyundai, you want to see the service my wife recieved from Suzuki !, a five grand on the road car, and service like she had a Rolls Royce, and I'm not kidding.

Well just to even it out then I have heard not so good things about the latter, who are also my local dealer. However for parts, which was all I ever used them for, they were ok.

Well, the saga has ended. The car has been sold (for a loss of only £900 over 7 months-not bad) and he now has a SAAB 9-3 convertible and before you say it, yes, he's had all the jokes, he's a 20 year old driving around in a 60 year olds car, but hey ho, horses for courses.

I just hope the dealer has learnt from this experience, I certainly have (about libel, slander, peoples interesting views etc!) Hope none of you ever have an experience like this one, if you do, be careful what you say on here! lol.

Cheers Chaps
