What a Palava
This is a scratch someone inflicted on my sons new car, it is on the plastic bumper.
So, two weeks ago I got in touch with the well known "Chips Away" company who via Email put me into contact with their local franchisee. The quote was for £125.00, but with an appointment waiting time of twelve days. The quote was accepted and my son arranged for his car to be at home (local to the address used in the quotation period) on the date required. during the course of last week, my sons opposite number at work went off sick, so, the son had to cover her by starting early each day, at 3.00pm on the afternoon before the appointment (8.00am the next day) the son text me to say can I cancel the appointment because of the situation at his work, I said, no way at this late hour, its not fair on the geezer who would not be able to cover the appointment with another client, so, I told him to get onto his insurance, and take out a 24 hour insurance policy on the wife's car so he could bring his car home that evening and take the wife's car for the next day, this he did at a cost of £30.00. One hour later at 4.00pm on the same afternoon I got an Email off the paint chap saying he would have to cancel the following days appointment because rain was forecast, so much for doing the right thing hey, £30.00 for nothing.
