seconded!!! Just reading his reply is more off putting. Rather than just let it drop he still goes on. TO what good it does SW auto, I have no clue.

cheers

make your own mind up.

then he shouldnt be doing the job he's supposedly doing on this forum, least of all making the statements he made as they appear to be untrue. i personally (like many others)would trust ashok over this bobcat, especially as ashok seeks no gain from all this, only to help a fellow member.

best thing to do is just avoid garages that have this much aggro associated with their name.

Pot stirring.

Gossip.

Got to love forums.

Hope you get all sorted Ashok and SW.

I agree. I always go to places recommended. And if any business is run as I am reading here, I stay away. Why take the risk and get burnt. It will be foolish on my part having seen the business character here.

cheers

As Pyapp has posted again... just to remind those who didn't read it, it would appear to be getting sorted...

Hopefully this will be the end of it.

If Bobcats comments don't equal the comments Stuart personally made to Pyapp... then I'd say he's speaking on his own.... (and of course, making it much worse...)

Thank you for all your comments.

So from all the replies i see the facts as this:

ashok leaves some engine parts (block, crank, set of bbs alloys) at sw's after his engine build. sw's were happy for the parts to be left and never asked for any form of payment.

ashok needs some parts to help out a friend that bought a knackered engine.

ashok puts friend in touch with sw's to ask for part of ashoks engine to fix friends car.

sw's tell friend that they will try and gets the bits together when they have time.

sw's havent had time to find and match the parts.

ashok puts a post up asking for people to help with the collection of parts (even though he has not spoken to sw's to confirm parts are ready).

sw's gets calls for kind persons offerering to collect said parts, they are told parts are not ready to be collected.

the above gets written on forums and tongues start wagging as usual.

in reply to ashoks question of what i would do, i would be greatful to sw's for the storing of my engine parts etc. I would also understand that as they have done me the favour of keeping them for free etc i would be patient and wait for them to get the parts together. If i wasnt happy with the amount of time they were taking to do this, i would go down there myself (not send others) and sort the bits out myself.

Im sure sw's\stuart would be more than happy for you to come down and get the its together yourself if your not happy waiting on them. If you come down on a saturday and im up there "just chatting" i will even help you load them into your car - cant say fairer than that.

Hi Matt,

Before I respond, can you please clarify whether you are indeed Stuart's spokesperson, or the voice of SW Autos on this forum? Are the views you're expressing your own or reflecting those of Stuart (i.e. are you discussing the matter with him and then posting up in a "joint" capacity)? Thanks.
