BRISTOL BLUE CUSTOMS WARNING DO NOT USE!

Post by rob8457 » Wed Aug 07, 2013 7:45 pm

Took my car into this company in Bristol they are a wrapping company, i want to fit a clear bra to front of my car, when arriving i gave them the fob the boss got into my car then drove like a knob to turn it around then went to drive it into there garage upon doing this he was going to fast and hit the wooden fence on the passenger side of my car, i shouted at him and my son witness to this incident, i called the guy a foooking knob he then said he would take it to a body shop around the corner once the wrap was done, i then let him carry out the wrap process, of which he put a metal tape along the front of the car of which i said not to do, he then tried to put this clear wrap to the front spoiler, of which i pointed out to him there was lines in the wrap it was not a clear wrap, he then had some trainee guy trying to put it on, there was bubbles everywhere he then had a Stanley knife in his had, that's when i lost it, i told him to fooooking forget it and take it off the car, and arrange for me to get the car repaired, we then went round to a back street garage where this old man came limping out with bottle top glasses, i then told him to forget it and i will take it to a Nissan approve repairer then give them the estimate of which they agreed, when presenting them with the estimate of a cracked front lip of the spoiler and scratches to the upper spoiler, the cost of the repair is £860, he said there was no way they are paying this and said just take us to court, of which i will start proceedings ASAP, this is the damage done in pic, so be WARNED NOT TO USE THEM

They do sound like Monkeys alright but I will say now there is no way in hell that the damage you have posted above is £800 worth.

Complete front end respray by a approved garage is only £400 max.

Gotcha

I just read Nissan!

Even so, there are independent bodyshops (the good ones) which would do a much better job than a dealer at a fraction of the cost.

However I would be pissed as there is nothing worse than having a expensive new car which you have to paint.

I would take him to court, but he would also have a visit too. The guy sounds like a right tool! See if he has cctv at his place, if he does see if the cops can take a look at it due to causing damage to your vehicle. If he doesn't have any cctv then the 'visit' should be done asap :lol:

I was getting angry at reading this story and I thought it was the content, now I'm thinking it was the lack of punctuation. It seems Rob was angry and writing in this manner conveyed the emotion perfectly, reading this passage without punctuation built up so much tension in my chest I was ready to punch something. What a strange effect, brillant.
No matter where you go, there you are.
