Im defo done with opc

[turk1]

Took my car in to a opc today for a yearly inspection as I have only done 2000 miles since a major service last year. I booked it in and said i will wait for it to be done,sat down had a coffee and after about 30 minutes I thought I would go and have a look through the glass where you can see the workshop. I noticed my car had a cover on the seat,neither the engine lid nor the bonnet was open and it was not in the air on the ramp, there was a couple of guys having a chat standing near the car so I sat back down and after about 15 minutes I went to have another look and the car had gone 10 minutes later. I got the bill and was advised front discs were corroded on the inside and my 2 rear tyres are worn. Now I know my tyres are worn because I have ordered 4 new tyres and having them fitted locally, so I said to the guy that's funny they have not mentioned that one of my front tyres is bald on the inside edge his responce was (is it) anyway i payed the bill and left,when i got home I checked the car over and noticed finger marks on all 4 wheels but i could not see any finger marks on the engine lid or the bonnet until I opened and closed them myself,so it makes me wonder was my car checked properly?

It's outrageous...its all gone corporate as opposed to being people working on your car who actually care...this is the way it will continue as Porsche becomes more and more mass-market aimed... profit, profit, profit!!

Its not worth it i should have said something there and then but i cant be 100% sure if they did anything or not other than looking at the wheels, but if it had been put on the ramp they should have noticed the tyre that is bald on the inside edge and reported it, i only took the car there to keep up the opc history anyway, but i will have to find a good indy from now on, i am fed up been bent over by main dealers who only care about earning bonus and stiching everyone up.

(NO) that i am sure about because i had to use the m25 to get to the opc,and with all the lorrys spraying salt and water over the car it had got a bit dirty.

When I was a truck fitter MANY years ago, we used to call this 'the laying on of hands'.

Happy days.
