can you pm the workshop.

About to get some work done on my skyline, there is a list of workshops to use ut there should also be a list of ones to stay well away from, this one would be at the top of the list.

[eMsta]

shit man - pm me hte workshop too

glad you didnt take that to the track!

[DNGRUS]

might as well PM me to LoL! everyone else is getting one

take it out and stick in the farker's eye.

and whoever reckons "mistakes happen, they were busy and forgot, no harm damn, bullshit etc". you're paying these idiots good money to look after your car. not the bloke's car next to yours. so if they cant keep their eye on the prize till the jobs done, then they obviously dont value your business enough.

thats shocking.... with a gtr things need to be done properly not half assed!! i say get them to do you a few favours..e.g. freebies otherwise im sure with them doing things like that u could get them in alot of trouble

[robbieraver]

at the momoent im not going to post up there name untill i have spoken to the responsible persons.

all i can say the work shop is in the western subs and the manager is the only one who works on my car..BUT perviously they have done excellent work, above and beyond and more the price that i have paid.

and im also in the auto trade and mistakes just dont happen like this, scratch a car yes but not a spark plug in the sump of a car that is tracked and fast street driven, if that spark plug hits something its all over.

KHUNJENG, there is no more to this story buddy, i went there to get some very minor work done (idle pfc problem) and this is what i get, i dont care that they forgot to put the correct sump plug in, it is VERY poor workmanship.

Hey a fellow Dinamo supporter....Fantastic..I thought I was the only one

[saff_cossie]

That's funny only because it isnt on my car! If it was, I would not be happy

Mistakes like this don't just "happen". To put a spark plug would require as much effort as to put the sump plug in. If they are working under the car on a ramp, they are far more likely to catch that than the proper plug. They definately didnt put it in as a temporary measure as when they would have taken it out, the new oil would have dropped anyway! Really is no excuse, even if they couldnt find the sump plug, you wouldnt put something temporary in for risk of doing what has happened, the customer found it!

Hope you get it sorted and post up the result once you have taken any action.

dont worry about sending me the name then.

So you didnt even go there for a service, so why did they even have the sump plug out??

[eMsta]

yeah agreed with w0rped - no point if its western suburbs

but still is crazy how they did that.....dad had a look at the pic and went "the guy who owns the car is lucky he saw it"

[justin911]

least the spark plug was done up

i guess it comes down to quality control and sign off once a car is completed

looks like they didnt check it or go over it before customer handover

if it was my workshop i would have someone else (who didnt do the worK) check all areas of said work and tick them on a page - to ensure somthing like this wasn't released - then once that sheet is ticked it, stick a copy under the windscreen and ring the customer saying the car is ready

maybe i should run my own workshop eh

[bLaQ.bOi]

i swear when i saw that pic... i was mid way through eating my rice n curry... now theres rice all over my kayboard and screen lol...

sorry to laugh... but that picture is worth a thousand words... most of them cursive (is cursive even a word? is now:D)

farkn hell.. someone tell me the workshop name

i would be raging

[paulr33]

find out the full story first - it could have been one of the crap mecahnics on his last doing being a prick - who knows

it doesnt excuse the lack of quality controll but the workshop might not have had any idea one of their hack mecahnics did something dodogy

[khunjeng]

its obviously been done for a reason. before you all jump on your bandwagons, there is another side to this story obviously as its harder to do what was done than just replace with the existing sump plug. as for fark ups...I'd like to see any one here who hasnt farked something up before.

[justin911]

should be a pretty entertaining story
