I have been in the motor trade 40 years though you can deduct 12 years when i was a mechanic in the army....No one trusts no one ,,,Customers buy cars from dealers ,i have suffered it ,bought a brand new car ,it had issues some cosmetic and i was told put boot polish on it ..Long story short after i contacted the manufacturer all issues sorted ..Second hand wise people trade them in ,mainly because they have an issue .Take it to whoever is buying it ,clear faults pam it off ...Sellers then pam it off in auction when they see the issue ,some declare the fault some don't ...Some may just sell it on and ignore the customer .A big problem is the skill shortage with mechanics ..Younger mechanics want a fault code ,,so if you have a drone from the gearbox /diff since a code is not present they cant diagnoise it ,,And even with a code ,if it is a difficult one ,they clear it and give it back..Now you can not charge someone for no fault found ,but they hit you with a charge for using the diagnostic computer ,even if they haven't

People get addicted to gambling , booze and drugs. I’m getting addicted to car trade channels on YT. I thinking of setting up a self help group as I’m sure there are others out there like me ? Started subscribing a few weeks back as a result of Joe at Berrow. As others have said you are a natural on camera. Did you casually drop it in to the conversation with the guy with the warranty claim that you had copped for a repair on his PX BMW ?
@thelogbookcc2 ай бұрын
This made me chuckle 😂😂 thanks! I didn’t mention it, honestly at a point I just can’t be bothered with it. I made money on the car I sold him, will make money on his PX and if he is the sort of guy that is happy to stick a problem in someone else then what good will telling him do, he will probably enjoy it! We all move on and I keep my swimming pool heated 😂 (I joke, don’t even own a bath!)
