Frosty Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I slept surprisingly well considering there was a storm this morning I was in a good mood then a shithouse mood because people annoy me then a good mood because I am trying to convince my friend to dress her pony as a unicorn do this!

Frosty Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Well I called EFI today to find out what's happening........and guess what? Was suppose to get a return call and got nothing Car was supposed to be ready last Thursday and nothing I'm also aware that its Jamboree this weekend so if I factor that into my equation my car won't be ready this week either......... I'm not feeling loved take it somewhere else?

Beelzebub89 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Problem with most shops is they never understand their own workload well enough and agree to time frames that are often unachievable. Might not be their fault its unachievable ie suppliers being delayed etc but they need to account for that or at least explain it when they take on customers. Customers expectations are also to blame here as they often dont know all the little hiccups that slow down a build and drag it out. It might look easy on face value but as the evidence shows its quite easy for builds to blow out from a couple of months to over a year! That is the builders responsibility to explain everything to thw customer and make sure everyone is on the same page.It all comes down to managing expectations of the customer Most shops problem with this is if people actually knew how long it took they probably wouldn't do it in the first place or will find someone else that will do it quicker and cheaper. But those that go down that path will most likely end up with a bunch of empty promises and extra costs. Better to be upfront and honest about it.

Bunta Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Morning whores. Ima cranky farker today. Had F all sleep last night. Called EFI this morning, spoke to the apprentice again. Told me he has not had time to talk to Sean (dat gotta be BS since you work within 5 meters from one another), car is suppose to go on dyno again today, but there is mega backlog due to Jamboree..........its the same Fkn story........... but how bout this....................I would of liked to take my car to Jamboree too. Its farkin disapointing and Im really pissed off with everything. This is a pretty bad look for them. I am strongly considering taking my car to Richo instead, though i did have a rather bad experience there too with time frames blowing out, but Richo appears to have that all under control now.

But those that go down that path will most likely end up with a bunch of empty promises and extra costs. Better to be upfront and honest about it. Although I agree with most of what you said. The biggest issue I see here the increasing lack of communication. I have to call EVERYTIME to find out where its at. I dont call everyday. Im EXTREMELY patient and already feel bad for calling them up. But thats not right. That is not how you do business. Although I work in totally different industry, I have many different clients to look after and I communicate with them as necessary. If I say something will be done say next week, but I then realise I cant. I just call them to let them know. Its the least you can do. Its not farkin hard to just pick up the phone or even just email me maybe once a week, to let me know what's happning. I dont need a full on description a just one line item will do. I'm not even farkin getting that! Its the same shit Im experiencing with my previous mech and its really destroyiing me inside. Im damn frustrated and really angry and its taking its toll me on me now. I prey to get some results today or tomorrow. If not Im gonna loose my shit. This is a pretty bad look for them. I am strongly considering taking my car to Richo instead, though i did have a rather bad experience there too with time frames blowing out, but Richo appears to have that all under control now. Its a bad look for Gav, its a bad look for Sean......................I mean WTF IS GOING ON???? Is Richo Richard from All Star tuning? Clint tells me good things about them. However, I think that finding a workshop that can manage their workflow effectively and produce good results is what you should be really looking for.

I can understand the reasoning for the delay but he has had his car there for a while. When they are assumingly billing everyone for the time that they take, why is one car given preferential treatment over another?

cowdy Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 No it's captain flipper Sarp all. The boss and i are having mad head spins all day and feel sick as. Gas leak? Ants I hope it all gets sorted. I can feel your pain and frustration. Your right aswell the apprentice should have talked to him. And in reality the apprentice shouldn't be discussing it with you it should be the owner or manager or the mechanic you like to work on your car And a courtesy call or email Should be sent. It's kinda rude. On another note, hopefully it will be done by tomorrow or Wednesday Maybe if you tell them you wanted it for jamboree they might pull heads, feet, fingers and other objects out and finish it Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/431233-mugabetown-whoretownin-at-its-worst/page/114/#findComment-7022632 Share on other sites More sharing options...
