what is about....

[Mr.Sumo]

....old skool cars and paint shops

 

went into 4 last Friday for quotes on the Granny....2 said £3000 and didn"t even move from the office / reception to have a look , 1 said £1500 , but could be more cos its old ...and the last 1 said " sorry mate , we don"t do old cars unless its an insurance job........

 

......... i give up

[RFChris]

Fooking fools mate. Gotta be someone on here who will do a good CAREFUL and HONEST job....because they love old cars.

 

I fooking hate garages who are of the opinion that old cars aren't worth the time. It's because they know its not an insurance job, and as such they'll have to do a proper job.

 

Cnuts.

cant they see we're doin it cos we love our cars? and we want other generations to enjoy them ?

correct me if im wrong !

[Mark2Mark]

Damn right! but they can do easier quicker jobs on newer cars so they don't bother Luckily there is a garage near me who care about old cars and own a couple themselves they are good and honest not the cheapest but you get what you pay for

So you want a CAREFUL, HONEST job with lots of time spent on it for peanuts.

 

Careful takes time, time costs money.

 

If you want a cheap paint job let me know, but please remember, you get what you pay for.

Oi!

 

I never implied it would be cheap, i implied it would be proper, because we have people on this site (full of people who love old motors) who would do ElSumo proud. Please don't take my comments out of context.

OK m8, but it seems el sumo was complaining about his 3k qoutes, I am sure they would do him proud. Wouldn't they ?

 

If thats too expensive then there are plenty of people out there who will do it cheaper but as I said you get what you pay for.

 

Sorry if I took your comments out of context, maybe i'm missing your point.

[Mr Sam]

M8 , wasn"t complaining bout the £3000 quote , it was his attitude He couldn"t even be bothered to get his fat arse of his chair and have a look at my car...thats what p*ssed me off

 

And i agree , you gets what you pay for

[spooner]

the prices these big names charge piss me off,they relly dont care about the car. the money covers loads of staff,one to strip,one to prep,one to paint,one to polish,one to refit,one to clean,one to hang about making tea,plus rent,rates,waste,boss'es car,wife's car ect.

 

i tried to take on these places 2 years ago by doing deals,u strip,prep then i would base coat,top coat,flat & polish.the cost £550.00 job done.

 

prob is people think your too cheap and go and pay twice as much cous they think it done propely.to$$ers.

 

o well moan over
