Peter Gidden.... Excellent Service.

Post by MR2 Turbo Boy »

I have to comment on the fantastic service I received from Peter... :thumleft:

Thank you Peter, for your hospitality, experience, skills, drive, effort and specially putting yourself out.

For the members not aware I purchased W88NEE's, 2.2 ltr - unused engine.

Peter, rescheduled, his plans to fit my engine replacement - for members who have their cars at Peter's sorry for any delays...... O:)

We worked throughout Thursday and Friday, early until very late, to ensure all went to plan, I don't know any mechanic that would put himself out as much as Peter.

Now, on to Peter's workmanship - Wayne's engine had been built by Wayne and Peter as we know over a period of time, 2 years - however when the car was ready to be fired up, it fired up first time - sounding awesome..:)

Peter, you have a new long term customer.

Thankyou.

As you asked.

Absolutely, c^%p after service.

Still have all the AA - notes, from all the return trips from this trader - highlighting a BREAKDOWN on each of my return trips home.....

STILL have the cigarette BURN on my drivers seat, I have expensive seats in my build...

BUT thanks PETE - for putting a burn mark on my drivers seat....

If it was damaged at a workplace then it needs to be replaced by said trader, what were the breakdowns and how was the trader at fault ?

What has Pete said about the burn mark ?

You should start a new thread with exactly what your concerns are and let Pete answer them and hopefully come up with a resouloution as this thread is old and may not be seen.
