  1. tip, this is a 24 hour job, you and your friend need to be aware of this, your phone will ring at nine at night, will your friend answer it ? just because you offer a warranty doesnt mean you can hide behind it, you also have to be strong, you mention = and this is where you may fail, what restrictions do you have at the present ? because if you let the customer take control then you will fail
  2. no, its = https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/06145321 correct, directors details shows his address where bradford council have investigated 3 planning complaints, 1 unauthorised conservatory, 2 unauthorised trading 3 unauthorised car repairs and car sales, two fingers to everything ?
  3. seeing as most underbonnets are 90?% plastic covers, wipe over with a damp cloth then 50% water 50% autosmart finish in a spray bottle on mist.is the safest way, punters never know its been cleaned .
  4. over 25 only need to see licence forms to fill before test drive and if all else fails, temporarily loose the keys
  5. have you still got car ? yes what will you take ? price is advertised where are you ? in bed, but the cars location is next to the advertised price
  6. if you have "legal protection" ask them, you may have this with house insurance for example, its what you paid for
  7. can you post up all 4 figures ? co high and hc high would indicate a faulty cts ? vacum leak ? i also note on the "failure" = Exhaust noise is clearly in excess of that emitted by a similar vehicle fitted with a standard silencer in average condition and you say "sons" car, and lamda was loose, has said boy, i refer you to heat sheild missing, removed the internals of said cat ? [ your honour ]
  8. sorry but got to laugh your not alone, i once had a bonnet fall off on a old fiesta, hinges snapped, they were a poor design, very similar to gate hinges [ crap] i tried to convince customer that shows how reliable they are, previous owner never had to lift bonnet it didn't work
  9. i sometimes go to meet my postman in the yard, he drives a combo, handbrakes in roof lining, tyres are 2mm, rims are well bent, and the engine is a grenade with pin out, not serviced properly where i work from
  10. busy sales last week dead sales this week jobs booked in not turned up [service / mot ] good job i am a millionaire
  11. they will need proof of repair, you will be of course claiming, [and letting the defendant know if they go ahead] costs, i don't think they will claim , i hope, keep us to date please, and thanks for posting this .
  12. its not the size, its the location, and then finding a drive in, then finding "no motor trade" then the security, then the neighbours, then the lease, it just goes on
  13. yes, its quite simple, and quoted in many trading standards "help" forms . justina, its quite simple , on the sales invoice simply state who to contact in the first instance eg = jo bloggs car sales 078965432 to be contacted in any instance. they sign that they have agreed to the terms on the invoice, obviously not taking away there rights, thats a unfair contract, i tell them straight, READ, DIGEST, SIGN, it states on my invoice if your not happy with the conditions, do not sign, do not buy the vehicle
  14. in my local pub it was suggested that i put i a card up on the "contacts" board, i disagreed strongly, and, not one customer could work out why, i told them i do not mix business with pleasure, and would not sell a single car to anyone there, i was greeted by shock, and the general consensus that then my cars must be poor quality although they wouldnt say so, the majority of these people who were listening actually work for someone, and could not see a problem in me being approached after a few drinks and being reminded that 6 month ago i sold them a car that now had a "problem". two people agreed with me, and they both work for themselves a friend in need is a pest arthur daley 1979
