Yep , bloody dreadful company and expensive too boot, have found my Ford dealer to be cheaper for bulbs, wipers and remote batteries!- I refuse to use them

, find a decent independent and stick with them.

 

As for the staff -unless your another spotty yut with a Corsa of course.

 

Have a mate whos an Auto Electrican who says hes lost count of the amount of Halfrauds fits hes had to put right - whole dashboard in one car - side airbags in another....

 

As for there "cycle experts" - dont get me started.

 

How on earth are they still in business?

Nowts changed then, I used to work in cycles many pork pies ago, with the usual complaints on the staff side, they want you on the shop floor and in the back doing repairs/builds, merchandising and on the till. Then they blame you when a middle class dork changes his handlebar rake on a bike you built and comes a cropper. I must admit the customer service is a bit hit and miss, with one dedicated member of staff servicing various departments, but there's always a group of 3 spotty youfs hanging around the stainless tailpipe extensions with staff badges on, taking it in turns to pounce on the potential ICE/satnav customers. As for the servicing technicians, let's just say they stare in wonderment every time they see a car and realise the wheel has been invented.
