General Campaign to stop dealers damaging our 500's

[RobinPJ]

Sorry T. I may have misjudged you.
What worried me was when you suggested that its better to lift a car with the rubber pad than the metal head of the scissor jack, by this I assumed you were talking about using the rubber pad in the location that the scissor jack would go.
Once again sorry for my assumption.

Nice apology TT - we could all learn from you.

Happy days.

the twins, I think you owe t an apology, he's not one of the guys who phones it in and he always comes across as a conscientious person who takes care of other peoples cars as he'd take care of his own.

I understand why you are annoyed at the wider Fiat dealer network, but making out that T would do this to peoples cars is like me saying that if he did the strut top mounts on a 500 that he'd give the car 5 or 6 degrees of toe out like the technician did to my car last year. It's not right, it's not fair and I really think you owe him an apology.

There are lazy feckless people everywhere in all walks of life and in all jobs, T doesn't come across as one of them though......

Maxi - Since T posted that late last night you could have given TT a chance to respond in his own time. You were a bit quick of the blocks. I've no axe to grind with you but thinking back on Multispoke I would like to see The Twins stay as it is and not turn in someone like me.

@ The Twins. Good thread. Remember recently coming to blows with a Fast Fit outfit when I asked then to change a tyre and they were lifting the car wrongly. Promptly asking them to lower it and took my keys back.

Hopefully Fiat / Alfa will issue a supplement on how garages should lift cars.

Even if they do, the fastfit fitters will never read it.

The Twins are right - the safe lifting points need to be marked on the car.

Thanks loveshandbags. I appreciate you kind comments.
Maxi, I didn't take any offence at your comment about apology, I think we understand each other these days (well most of the time lol)

Yeah, you apologised and all is good, not that T needs a protector or anything, but he's definitely one of the nice guys on here and deserves respect

No worries. makes you wonder how many other people actually look under their cars?
