Cap Off to GDI

[RBR4]

After reading a lot of threads where people have nitemares with garages, i thought i would give my opinion on GDI.

The 172 lives again thanks to the guys and girl [hi Bex] at GDI. Having owned loads of different cars over the years [some more trouble than others] and dealt with many garages, i have to admit these people are the dogs danglies.

Andy and co have bent over backwards getting the car back on the road after a few hiccups [no fault of theirs,dodgy 2nd hand box] and i can't praise them enough. I've never felt so at ease leaving a car with a garage as i did with them. Danny worked his balls off much later than he should of Andy offered help and advice along the way and makes a wicked cuppa! Bex kept me informed throughout the process and is the friendly face of GDI.

I plan on having quite a bit more work doing on the 172 and have no hesitation in having it all done at GDI. So there it is, not your usual "FCUK garage ruined my car" thread,just a genuine account of my experience.

i've had no personal experience with GDI, have heard some horror stories, and one of my mates was ripped hard, but i'd still probably use them if they had something that i needed.

makes a change to see positive feedback about a company tho, usually its people slating not praising that makes the news

Mine is booked in for a brake overhaul on the 29th,been a expensive 2 weeks but worth it.

If your lucky you may get Andy to fire up that Viper that is there.

Holy s**t that thing makes some noise.

better get them to turn off the bunsen burner on the back of your car! Surprized your bumper isn't melted!

Good feedback.

I can also agree how good it is to read a positive review of GDI. Andy and Bex are probably two of the nicest people in the motor trade I have come across.

Just a shame about the massive scar i now have from projectile car keys

Any better???

dont want to comment to be honest untill i've had the car mapped to suit, fitting the cams is only half the job, car will be running lean no fuel for extra lift etc

i've only driven the car back from GDI to home and took it nice and easy to bed them in

mapping will be done @RStuning tomorrow and i'll put a new thread up with the results

this is a nice read about GDI , seem like a great bunch of serviceminded people.

However; why do the moderators leave this thread alone , leaving it here in the Engine + gearbox section, while i remember some people doing the same (yep me too) , appreciating-thanking K-tec for example; and these threads were gone/moved quite quickly, the same day actually ?
This one has been here for days ?
