However, on occassions even people like me get hacked off...[rant]So a few weeks ago we hand over a car to a customer
(professionalism prevents me from naming him). Thought we had a good relationship, so car released with final invoice to follow.Invoice sent
- o/s balance £2800. Customer tells me can only afford £200 per month!!! I write to him politely informing him he's out of order and to keep it out of Court i want £500pm minimum or my parts returned (50% of invoice).I've yet to receive a penny since car handed over.
Today i find out he's had the car mapped on a dyno.
I text him suggesting he might have paid me first, replies asking what the problem is as we have an arrangement!!!
To add insult to injury, i lent him my MR2 Turbo whilst his was in our workshop.
We both new it had a minor oil leak and burnt oil when cold. I even supplied a 5 litre can of oil should it need topping up.Car returned with sump empty, dipstick dry and big ends knocking.
When confronted, i was told by him it was my fault for lending him my car with a problem!!!Hopefully, if he wishes to avoid being identified, he will not post up his dyno results from today.
If he does so, and is therefore identified, i presume he is willing to accept to any criticism from forum members that may follow.To avoid any incorrect suggestions, I would like to publically thank Ryan
@ TwoBarTuning for backing me and declining to map the car whilst i am owed money.[/rant]
