  1. havent had negative feedback because they are always too old for that kind of stuff but they come back even maybe a year later and they put in the sly dig about you did very well out of their old car everyone thinks we in the motortrade piss all our money up in the pub every night so telling them when they give you their old car for free as in this case is easier than waiting for any negativity for the record they are told it will be checked over and retailed and if not suitable will be robbed of any parts and sent for crushing we all know where we stand then just to make my position very very clear
  2. i totally agree with this,people are all smiles until they find you made an extra bob out of them,for the last 5 years whenever i get cars like these i tell the customers straight that it will be checked over to see if its retailable or scrapped and not to moan if they see it up for a grand,this way we all know where we stand and once explained ive never had a problem no offence AD

  13. i suggest you sit down get a glass of cider out and read it i said twice its out of date if you go through it all as i said it will give you a perfect grounding for doing this job remember the sun shone 100 years ago it still shines now some things dont change
  14. some deep recessed wheels you cant get in to weld an old wheel nut on the end because the gas from the torch stops the welding process however heat from the torch can help to loosen the nut obviously knock seven bells out of it first this is where gloves and goggles come in too or let tyre bay do it

  16. i think a ductor heater might be better,they are now down to £200 direct from china thanks regards dynomec but like everything else i seem to buy i use it once and it ends up in the cupboard of tools not used,i note its made by that sheffield company and to be fair they are good at sending replacement parts out at a cost but some things feel like they were made to break (fiesta void tool)

  18. having a garage is usually not the problem its hiring and retaining good staff that is
  19. best of luck with mcgard types it took 8 hours to remove 4 6 months ago and i have every tool possible to remove them,had to gas axe them in the end thus damaging the paint on the wheels,looks like they had never ever been off and all dealer had done was look through the rim and say brakes ok, for every lie he stamped in on a similar note car came in yesterday over 11 months mot and the back brake pipe is beyond a disgrace and they havent even scraped it to assess for the mot
