« on: 06 August 2016, 05:31:09 pm »
I work in the motor trade selling car parts to mostly the only way I could describe them are CHIMPS
I HAVE DONE THIS JOB FOR 45YRS TIME TO GIVE IT UP I THINK
I seem to ask the same questions to the same group of people day in day out and these people a trained mechanics  I use the term trained very loosely about as loosely as a tird after a vindaloo
has it got vented or solid discs. answer today was sort of. asked him again vented or solid. replied they were until the other day and now they are not !!!!!!
had the car on the car park so went for a look the offside caliper had used the pad as a grinder and ground through the disc
next customer wanted oil air and fuel filters what car is it sir answer a ford a yellow one
anyway after serving about 5 of this type today I got another wanting pads and discs for a volve c30  loads of choices 15" 16" 17" wheels so here we go ask the question what size wheels are they.dont know give him a tape measure off he goas come back 15 or 16 I think !!! why 15 or 16 the wheels in a pothole he said really pissed off by now.
measure the other side then. oh and look if they are round or oval while your at it.sure enough came back and said 16 asked are they round said yep  thick b****rd

Sounds a bit like talking to a Hellfrauds parts expert or worse...........a QuickShit fitter  :rolleyes .



Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
