Some people should not be running a business...

I needed to get a couple of scuff marks sorted out on my car, so I phoned around the local chipsaway and the likes.

Got hold of chipsawawy, who were quick to answer the phone, polite and arranged a quote.

Thought I would call a couple of other local companies to see what they offer. Saw a webpage, very professional looking. Advertising exactly what I wanted and based in the local area. So I called up for a quote on their 0800 number.

Guy answered "Ello?"

Me "Is this ******* Repair?"

Him "Errr yeah"

Me "Do you do small scuff repairs?"

Him "Yeah mate. I fink you are gonna wonna quote init yeah?"

Me "Yes Please, can you do evenings?"

Him "Nah mate, cant be bovvered wiv evenings init"

Me "Ok, can we do a day this week?"

Him "Yeah mate but im in the pub init avin a few beers - wont be able to check my diary until later init"

Me "Fair enough - don't worry about it" *hangup*




I hope his other customers speak "init" language... If I am going to trust someone with my car (despite how little I care about it), I would rather they could at least talk a reasonable standard of English.

Bracknell - so close. This was at 2pm on a Thursday as well so its not like I was inturrupting his weekend...

[Jasandjules]

Don't worry, he won't be in six months.

[Mr POD]

The shame is he's probabally a whizz with scratches.

He is quoting tonight, have not had the work done yet - its Chipsaway in Wokingham. Dont have his number on me but if you call the main number they will find a rep in your area.

If you can wait until after Saturday, I will let you know about how good the work actually is...

Out of interest how bad is the scuff and how much was the chipsaway quote?

I have a scuff on my rear bumper due to some interaction with a wooden fence that I need to sort out.

Its fairly bad TBH, getting quoted later this evening so will chuck a picture up and the cost of repair so you can get a rough comaparison if that helps?
