still no car ,went down there and was gonna pick it up but they had actually started on it ,have been told tuesday now which will be a day short of 2 weeks,do you think i deserve a discount?

see thats what i thought .i know its not the simpleist and nicest of jobs but if your a specialist with all the equipment and experiance not to mention the cost you would be provideing a better service, this place was the closest to me and was sort of recomended well name dropped to me by my mechanic and are a very well known automatic specialist so i just went with it,i did get other quotes cheaper but further away and a problem when the car is dead and has to be towed ,my bloods been boiling all day about this,i just wanted to scream at the feller down the phone when he said it hasnt moved

well i thought i would be back on the road this week,but pure dramas, is this taking the mick? took car in wednesday evening ,so they had my car , thursday friday saturday and today [mon} so i rang to see how getting on and the guy told me it hasnt even moved from where i left it as there doing last weeks work this week as well chocka block,so i say will i have this week and i get not a very confidant maybe, do you lot think i should just take me car back from theese comidians, i feel for the money they want they should provide the service, any feedback please, cheers
