  1. All the diagnostics kit in the world will not tell you how to fix a car point you in the right direction maybe, you still have to have years of experience to be able to understand what the machines are telling you.
  2. It must be the season of goodwill as everyone is being so nice, Lucas you must be some kind of fruit and nut to be even thinking about this, spend your time trying to sell the investments you have already purchased. You will be bent over so many times you will get dizzy and that will be just from the suppliers and staff before the customers even get a hold of you. Bar humbug.
  3. Margins are tight enough as it is without paying someone to do your job for you. So your argument is you don’t know what you buying, so how do you know it’s any good when someone turns up with it ?
  4. Toyota aygo at number 20 and no mention of a c1 very odd.
  5. To be fair to the high end detailers a lot the big bills are in the correction stage more than the final protection, that said your thoughts are still valid as the £5 car wash will inflict more damage in five minutes than trump could offend people.
  6. We had a polo in last month typical old owner with a stupid white dog in the boot eaten all the carpet shelf missing and rear headrests, costs us over £100 to get the parts on line via flee bay mint it back up and yep you guessed it next owner said can i take the shelf out as he wants to put his dog in the boot.
  7. G101 is a to expensive to use as a bog standard tft they do there own tfr they decant to all the local car washes which is much stronger, if you like that kind of thing.
  8. Yep i often get told by so called green eyed colleges in the trade i am to dear, i just smile and say thanks.
  9. This has always raised my eyebrow spock style, You have so much legislation around about how you can say this on an advert, describe this mention something else ect, and you have people in such powerful positions who can say whatever the hell they like and to hell with what shit storm that follows.
  10. I am very into figures for all the businesses, The ones i delve into first are / overheads / net profit / historical comparisons, comparisons are not massively important to some sectors but i do like to see growth year on year.
  11. When you have seen as many cars as most of us have i would hardly call them a dream anymore.
  12. And the maddest statement of the year award goes to....................
  13. They could gift him some each year start to get it down that way, I would have bought the land in a company you can appoint directors as you wish then take a wage from the company dividends ect company cars insurances ect loads of perks to be had.
  14. I tried one of them not so long ago in my mates garage as ours was having electrical work done, worked well but no better than my Geroge which can be had for less than £200 if you look hard enough. not wanting to get into mine is better than your argument just thought i would mention it as the price difference is large.
  15. £298 plus vat for ten cars is more than there standard pricing ring them up and remind them the definition of a deal
  16. We sell loads of these and they often come in high, even an adjustment doesnt save them its only a short term fix they soon go after.
  17. Yep echo above never had a mini like that, had one burn a clutch out customer let her son learn to drive in it and he mangled it. Quite normal in the c1 aygo 107 family.
  18. We used to have a lot of them on Mini's and your right if you underseal it first they then put car has been heavily under sealed almost implying we are hiding something.
  19. The scary age of 49 I am a big believer in looking after myself I can’t avoid stress in my work life so ensure I have sufficient down time to recharge. Life is way to short and money is no use to me in a big brown box.
  20. You think your confused you should see the dilemma i get into trying to decide what to wear on a night out !
  21. Off to Florida from 12th December back 6th January bit of a tradition now spending new year in Miami. Plenty of time to work but not so much time to chil out so do enjoy this break, seen far to many old school traders drop down latley either very ill or kick the bucket having done nothing with there lives other than stand in smelly auctions halls.
  22. Yep we had a car in last week from a ex smoker blasted all the plastics and Bosch smell gone.
  23. That will never get old....dave
  24. Our George reminds me of triggers sweeping brush, two new wet pumps countless wheels and even the odd hose or two apart from that its the same hoover we have used for years.
