[bobbobadobob]

[Mole]

if the GPS log is timestamped, then have words with the manager, i know i would if i found that out.

 

[Phill1978]

ALL garages are like this. i dont want to go into my stories as they would last for around three pages every time i need something doing at reno or a 3rd party garage they manage to fuk it up.

 

[Gareth]

not at all, I never leave my car with a garage, I always wait with the car.

 

[davep24]

This is one way, the way back was pretty similar

[welsh172]

pls dont mines going in on monday, im gonna take a note of the milage, reset the comp so i can see what kind of driving they do....if they are not sly and reset it them selves..what else can i do? hide in the boot?

 

[Gareth]

i would so be printing that out and showing the showroom manager!! "Oh by the way, one of your employees broke the law in my car"

 

[FlamingMonkey]

Preston New Road, where you from ?

Theres a Preston New Road near me

 

[davep24]

i spoke to the service manager, he said the service technicians face dropped like a stone when he told him that i have proof that he has been speeding in my car. Dont think i will be taking it there again in a hurry

 

[Gareth]

ask if they have any Renault Vouchers going, lol.

 

[StevieP]

In a nutshell no, I always check my milage when I take mine in, dont have a GPS thing or anything like that, but this sounds like a good excuse to get one!

 

[badinvincible]

Show it to the police.

 

[bobbobadobob]

now that would be a good idea!!!! although you may want to delete any incriminating evidence of your own devices before hand!!!

 

[Red Valver]

I leave mine with the petrol light on and record the millage

 

[davep24]

[Alan]

Nah i cant trust any of my local renault dealers with my car, the last time my dynamique was in to have the sunroof fixed they dented my rear drivers side wing, (but i kicked up utter f*ck in the show room in front of loads of folks until the service manager got off his fat ass and came to look at my car, after that they were all nicey nicey with me so id chill out, they fixed it for me, and laid on a courtsey shed of a fiat punto for me).

There was also a time where my dad had his car in at on of out other local dealers getting again his sunroof looked at and they scratched the roof of the car from the sunroof to the rear spoiler!

Oh and that the Parks of Hamilton Renault franchise so steer well clear!

 

[jonny]

Why are they driving it at all!!!! I awlays check the mileage when dropped off and always the same when i pick up!!!

Always use renault manchester, and try deal with Service department manage Ken direct and always get very good service!!!

I found i had problems when dealing with a franchise, but main dealer seem fine

What are they doing on Preston new Road then, bit of a trek to Blackburn from Renault Preston?

 

[Chris n nic]

I would imagine there would be a few Preston New Roads all around preston m8....not good tho!

Chris

 

[Chris n nic]

Out of interest where are you from m8...Ive seen a flame red 172 in Blackburn a few times

Chris

 

[Aust1n]

Either way Renno are taking the piss, go down and shove the readout up their asses

 

[182_blue]

davep24 , what gps machine you got that logs all that data ???, i would take it to the police

 

[Swervin_Mervin]

Take it to the police. Let them get dry ripped.

Arseholes. Hence why I will NEVER use a stealership again.

 

[182_blue]

better still warn the dealership that your taking it to the police

 

[Martin_172]

Took it into Arnold Clark reno in stirling for a service/MOT and it kept cutting out at traffic lights and roundabouts after it came out, i took it back to them and they charged me £60 for a new coil pack which fixed nothing, took it back and they changed the spark plugs and gave me it back, fixed nothing and then when taking it back to them it refused to do it! and its never done it since.

 

[edde]

Its a shame some dealerships or more approprialy some techs are like this its a common problem with most garages not just Renault. My old local Merc dealership had some issues.

I know the local Renault dealership so I know the cars in good hands its a terible shame that dealerships have to employee people like this it not like they can trace every time an employyee drives a car.

 

[Jim172CUP]

i always wait, saves them f**king up with courtesy cars that they never remember you booked.

Id ring Renault customer service and go ballistic, then go to the police, what a set of f**kers

 

[Fred@BTM]

i belive the correct term is OWNED

have a moan!!! youll get a free service out of them!!!

 

[® Andy]

Im very lucky ... dont worry at all when my car is in since I know its in good hands! Mikey172s to be exact .

If in the future Mikeys not able to do it for me then Ill be beside myself with worry.

 

[edgerfs]

Ask your dealer to explain why you shouldnt go to the police with your evidence. THat should get em sweating.

its a bluetooth GPS with a knackered old orange SPV e200 mobile phone, the software is mapopolis. that data from before is only a small sample, the data from when it was at the dealers, is nearly 700 lines worth

 

[Mattie h]

simple answer 2 the question / title......NO lol
