Well I've had prob the worst, most upsetting and stressful day ever.... but I've found prob the most helpful exhaust specialists ever (in my opinion).
Went and had a stainless exhaust made up for my mothers Saab... got a quote arranged a time & the price shot up from £180 to £400 once we got there.. agreed on a price of £250 and left the car for 2hr.
Got back and the exhaust was shocking... and i mean shocking.
Wasn't happy... so noisy and it wasn't the right shape either... there was no tail pipe, just the normal pipe cut off.
Said to the bloke "it's a bit noisy" with that he put the car bak on the ramp.... very moody keep exclaiming.. too noisy.. too noisy.. and said we had one last chance then he was gonna take it off.
well yes it was too noisy.... so he choped the exhauset off right by the cat then said "there'll be a charge for the work i've done!", we both said NO... you haven't done what we'd asked...so he threw my dad and me out the workshop.. closed the main door and locked us out and shouted "ur not getting ur car back then"
so we're left locked out this workshop not knowing wot was going on.... dad told the bloke if he doesn't put the old exhaust back on and give us the car back he'll call the police, with that the doors opened & he dumped the car out side and ran back in and locked it all up.
The exhauset wasn't attached just put back on with 2 hangers....
anyway my dad's now 130miles from home with no exhaust... found a tyre/ exhaust place up the road.. bloke too 1 look at it and said.. its "fooked" he's knackered the car.... gonna need a whole exhaust.... but theres another place up the road who make custom exhausts, go see them.....
The blokes were amazing.... they patched up the join the best they could and showed us what they can do for us. The other place (Sound Proof Systems) has ruiened the whole exhaust, and it's gonna cost over £1200 from Saab to replace it all.
This company is called Speed Steel... www.speedsteel.co.uk in Tipton, West Midlands, 0121 557 0951. Just mention the lad with the blue Saab and he'll know how u came by them, as they don't advertise, cos they are so busy just from word of mouth!
here's an example of just 1 custome exhaust they have made...
they have done a seicento, with a special flat box cos it was lowered... and they will do anything with just amazing craftmanship.
they can also make header tanks...
caps...
even roll cages & bke cans too!!
Have a look at the web page, give them a call... mention me and compair their prices. I have seen lots of exhausts over the years, as i use to sell them and these are prob the best i've seen and heard and the tanks and caps are faultless!!!
Sorry for the rant... but it's just upsetting that not all business's are like this place!
