Need to rant!

aye :!: come on then who yer talking about :?:

 

[scott wilson]

like the title says cornish magicians.....www.50-67.com, airkraft and retrodubs........all live by the sword and die by the same ...all are extremely trustworthy and i for one would reccomend them to anyone countrywide

 

[58herbie]

i reckon the name may have a BW in it


just a guess

 

[Htotheunit]

Or even a county by county list of reputible mechanics as a Sticky including hourly charges etc....

Also would be handy if you break down somewhere away from home 8)

Good guess 58 Herbie :lol: 10 out of 10.
Been to see my van today in Portsmouth and more nasties have been uncovered and to be fair Mr BW isn't responsible for all of them (some of them though). Sean at DrVdubs is doing a thoroughly excellent job of putting things right and I can totally recommend him. He can be contacted on 07752 685340 or visit website currently under construction http://www.drvdub.co.uk .
He was recommended to me by Mark (68only) at the Bus Station (another workshop with an extremely good reputation). Good tip Mark!
Another excellent VW mechanic I can recommend is Phil Norman (Autoworks) based in Worthing. He is an enthusiast who works from home and seems to have very high standards from the work he has done for me. He can be contacted on 01903 693069 or mobile 07802 453851.
As Ego (Steve) says Aaron Tulley in Worthing is also supposed to be very good (I don't have his details but he had a featurette/ad in the last Volksworld.

Not much to say about BW though
:wink:

 

[Araon]

OK think I've got it now been going for years and there name would suggest a leaning towards bugs...?????

So if I'm right why not say so, as they must be doing this kind of workmanship to so many punters and whats worse getting away with it to be still going this long.

I hope your taking it further fella as J&M said small claims .....

 

[bananacustard]

You are right Araon but I'm not going down that small claims route. My bus is a 40 year old British bus with 10 previous owners and a history of being bodged and it would be difficult to precisely point the finger and attribute blame. I just know that the work I paid for was to a low standard. He did the work I asked for, I naively accepted it and paid for it. It' easy to be swayed by shiny paint and maybe he honestly thought that he'd done an ok job. I only realise now that I'm better informed and now that a decent craftsman is working on my bus that the work was substandard. I'll put it down to experience and I believe that positive reinforcement i.e. bigging up people who do a really good job is the way forward. Two new aircooled businesses (both good) have started up in Worthing, there's a reason for this and BW will lose customers as a result. Incidentally BW changed ownership 3 years ago and the previous owner had a rather better reputation.
