Garage Staff Try to Damage Customer's Subaru

Post by FaisalJ » Tue Jan 19, 2016 1:01 pm

In case anyone hasn't already seen this. Stumbled across this on another forum, and has since made the Daily Fail and Metro.

The garage staff can be seen deliberately aiming at potholes, at speed and can be heard hoping to damage this guy's car.

Even Scooby drivers don't deserve this!

The owner just posted on Facebook . Saying basically there is two sides to every story etc
The driver resigned to cut a long story short

I was driving past a VW dealer a couple weeks ago (not in the RS) and a reasonably new Golf R pulled out in front on me on the limiter. It was going the way I was, like it was stolen. Top end of 1st and 2nd being used extensively, in other words ragged to fcuk!

And yes you guessed it, being driven by a technician (I guess that's the 'official' name!). I rang the dealership and read the plate out, they told me it was in for servicing. So I proceeded to ask if their service consisted of being driven several miles on the limiter, like it was stolen.

Fcuking disgusting - I threatend to turn up at the dealer and tell the owner.

Have you saw the response from the garage on Facebook? Terrible. One of the things my old manager told me when I was leaving to get my own place was a complaint is a chance to make a customer for life. They have had a pr disaster with this one.

They actually try to defend their employee and say he was trying to avoid the potholes?!

It shouldn't happen, but it does. You would think in this age of dash cams it would be a thing of the past, but obviously not.
