to be honest mate, i'd have picked up the car, then start to walk out the door. when he 'reminds' you you havent paid, tell him that you will pay the bill when he replaces your tires. but as long as you're happy with the outcome.

I'd never go back there though!!!!

One of the mechanics at Rick Damelian used to do this with their Ferraris, lambos etc, sadly for him he had no idea that one of the neighbours was a rather well known former boxing champion who didn't take to kindly to this sort of thing going on in his street with his kids around...

About to explode in a fit rage the better half tells me not to worry, its only a car etc etc. So as we wait for the traffic to cross the road he pulls into the bus car park that was behind us, and some chick walks up and gets in! Am i now a bloody bus service????

So as he pulls out of the car park he nails it launhching the car sideways and leaving 2 big black marks up the street!

I dunno what to do cuz he is a great mechanic and always does good prices, but then again just because he is a rally driver i dont want my F$@&ing car being used as a rally car!


/end rant :

:evil3: dropped my car off at ian diffans to get new tyres 1st thing in the morning.
bout 10 mins later my mates mum came into my work and told me a young bloke was smokin up my car round the corner.
went down there and all i could smell was burntout airfresher and hot rubber up the sides of the car.
went mental, got f@#$ all out of it!!!! head office apologized and that was it.
DIRTY BASTARDS
