It’s been a fun week ?!
Car went in for engine work on Monday, they misplaced the keys and I had to run down the spares about 2pm, hence not all the requested work could be compled.
Tuesday, the car went next door to the body shop to have the rear wing resprayed as the laquare was pealing…
Wednesday got a call from the garage saying the original quote from the part supplier was wrong; not £587 but £875 (ish). I told them it was failing and it needed replacing so asked the to continue. An update from the body shop suggested they would be releasing the car Thursday evening to go back to the garage.
Later on Wednesday I get a call from the garage saying that their supplier won’t have the part for 2 weeks! But they had searched around and found one for £497 and they could get the car back to me by Friday afternoon..
I explained I was getting nervous as I was catching the ferry at 2pm on the Saturday and the last thing I wanted was to…
1. Miss the ferry. 2. Get half way down the motorway and the car to fail. 3. Them not being able to finish the car in time and me going on holiday in their rental for £20/day.
So not what I had planned really; should have been – garage Mon/finished, bodyshop Tue-Thu, road test car on Friday…
Just to add a bit of spice for Friday, my mobile number is moving from Orange to O2 so lets hope there is no loss or service!
Yay! i’m gonna need a holiday after this week!
