Got my car back

14:55 09/11/2006 · Posted in Personal

I have finally got my car back from the garage and here is what I think:

First of all the door was replaced. It looks good and I feel happy. This was the main purpose of giving the car to the garage. I also liked the fact that garage had provided me with their car while they were dealing with mine, but here are some things I didn\’t like:

1. It took them 1 week to replace the door. A friend of mine who is working on car repairs told me that he could do it in 2 days. Maybe the guys were very busy, but still – kinda too long.

2. They have not did any additional things I have asked them to do like: change oil, change filters, check the handbrake and check if they can fix the fuel amount sensor. Pity. Now I need to give car to repair these items :(

3. When I called the garage today to ask about a car, they told it will be ready in 1 hour. I came to them 3 hours later and they told me that they haven\’t manage to wash it yet, so I have to wait for another hour – no way, I took the car unwashed since I was in a hurry and now I will give it for washing myself.

Seems to be it, but I think I will be looking for different garage (not that busy one). I was already advised to check one garage owned by friend of friend of mine :) I will check it up and let you know.

    You’ll have this problem in most of the places around here. Basically, you wait until they call you back and tell you that it’s ready (meaning, they want money). Otherwise, if you call them, they’ll lie and then they’ll lie some more. :)

    As far as I know, Teach Garage is only about bodyworks and painting. I am not so sure that they do general service, like oil and filter changes, and so on.

    For general services I am using E.F.I. Garage, which is right next to Teach. They are somewhat expensive, but good.

  2. Oh, dear! I think they have some problems with management!
