Yes I can confirm that.
Alistair was working at SW autos when I first visited there. He was working on reception, answering the phone, and doing the bills. Furthermore. as a result of Matt and Stuarts attitude. Especially Stuarts reply to my criticism on VPCUK, I have decided to refer the matter of my fuel tank leak, the inability to diagnose it, and repair it. To trading standards (now Consumer Direct). Leaving a customers car in a potentially dangerous state is in many peoples eyes, a serious matter. I will await a further update from them.

To correct you (BlackBeast, Nuisance): I do not work for / at SW Autos. I saw that mentioned on T5D5 a while back as well but couldn't be bothered to correct it then - now I guess it's a bit more relevant.
I saw you there, Joules, when I was helping Stuart out for a day - he was down on staff that week and I had a day off from work. Not hard to work out how to answer phones and print bills! Hence, I'm neither an employee nor a spokesperson (God forbid!!! )

Apology accepted (thanks) and I understand how it was easy to get to that conclusion! No worries.

Yep, very good Iain! You could have found me there a couple of times this year, especially if I heard in advance that some of my mates were coming down!
I also make the teas at HLM and water the plants in RT Mechanics reception, clean the windows at Pillings of Welwyn, and polish Kalmar Union's race car. No, I don't, but you never know! I don't recall ever having met JD.7 but I'm better with real names than screen names! As we all are. Shame this couldn't have been sorted out over a pint, eh.

if you don't mind me asking, seeing you give freebies for Stuart on occasions which I am sure Stuart must be very appreciative, do you really think when you take your car to SW for any work you would be shortchanged or treated with poor customer service? Quote:
Hope you don't take it the wrong way when I wonder, how unbiased or biased that statement would be when anyone reads those two posts. And whats even more counter-productive for you is when your "for A Day" becomes,.. Quote:
cheers

There's nothing contradictory about my two statements that you kindly bolded and underlined, in passing. Not sure what you are getting at? We've met by the way (at Power Engineering) and I remember having a chat with you about your V50, you seemed a nice chap and I'm not about to fall out with you over this matter (which isn't mine to fight or solve anyway). Incidentally I'm not overly fussed if you consider me objective or not on this subject (my objectivity is routinely called into question anyway, because until recently everyone assumed I *HAD* to support HLM / VT as I moderate on VPCUK ). I was simply posting up my views. When it comes to SW Autos I know they have thousands of satisfied customers and only a couple of unhappy ones. Not to say that it's OK to have unhappy customers, but everyone makes mistakes occasionally and the balance is still very firmly on the "happy customers" side. Night night.

Having read this C**p for 41 pages worth, really when will people on this forum grow up, I know both people involved, if there is a dispute between the two it's a personal matter and non of the business noisy forum hogs, this thread should never have been allow to get this far.
I notice Ashok has not posted since contact was made to resolve the issue, when things go public on forums everyone thinks the know everything, but they don't and most likely never will. Time to put an end to this, Lock the thread, the name calling by people on here will not resolve the issue, that can only be done by those involved. And before someone asks "YES" I'm a satisfied customer of SW Autos, and NO I'm not an employee tied to them in any way.
