An unhappy customer

I saw this thread elsewhere:

Mercedes Technician - PistonHeads

 

[Charles Morgan]

Awful taste in music.

That mechanic should get the sack.













For not going really fast...

 

[phoenix550]

That G63 really shifts doesn't it?

It's hardly as if The Stig has got it .

 

[mct_cars]

I watched it. What did I miss? (To be fair, I had the sound off).

 

[MCFastybloke]

I never let them drive my car.

I never let them drive my car.

What, it stays in the carpark? do you lock it up and take keys as well?

 

[Dieselman]

I don't see the problem. He gives if full throttle for about 5 seconds...Big deal...

 

[theogeor]

Have I missed anything ? I have not seen anything out of the ordinary. I would be more concern if he was not careful around the garage area and car park rather than hitting the throttle for few seconds.. I am sure when I take my 911 for service and they test drive it they do much worse than that...

What G63? The one in the video is a G55, which will go a lot better.

Bloke buys dash camera, takes into main dealer. When mechanic slightly revs it blokes wants to make a point.

He would be posting that online whatever they did. Its like the owner wanted them to do somthing all along.

Im sure all of our cars have had worse done to them in the past...

The guy says that: "They were replacing the exhaust tips as the chrome had pitted." Not quite sure why a road test was necessary.

 

[MCFastybloke]

Ok,i concede the point,No road test,it doesn't have to be there fault,mrs brady the old lady pulls out and bang,all the insurance does is satisfy there legal obligation.Not my fauld but certainly my problem.

wont let others park my car when I fly either.

 

[John]

I couldn't see anything wrong with that.

The guy seemed quite careful with it.

Bit of revving to hear the exhaust and some light acceleration.

Hardly going to bother an AMG!



Reminds me of the cyclist who has a camera on his crash helmet and goes around irritating people until they react and pointing out his camera so he doesn't get battered.

 

[Dieselman]

It appears that PistonHeads is full of moaning old whinging buggers as well as here.


Get a life.

Not mine, I don't go past 2,500rpm on any car and all of the previous owners to all my cars were nuns.

I saw a G55...what were you watching?

:d

That G55 was probably used for school runs and local supermarket trips by the owner (if he has to complain about a bit of spirited driving), my guess is that mechanic probably did that car a favour!

If there were burn outs and donuts being done...then the owner has a valid point.
