Recently took my bravo for a service at an aa centre in huddersfield.

In Short DONT TAKE YOUR CAR TO ONE!!!! (For more details read on!)

I went to collect my car a little earlier in the hopes that I could get it back earlyer, but witnessed the mechanic thrashing my car about the car park!Screeching tyres, the lot! I then watched in horror as he chased after someone in my car, before my very eyes!!!

After he got back, I managed to calm down and thought at least it had a good service. Wrong.

The brake fluid had been way over filled, loads of oil was spilt on the engine, which burned when it got hot, and the bugger of a mechanic had no seat covers in my car and left oil all over it!

If you care for your car, dont take your car to be serviced by the aa.
 
Roadside AA isnt much better

Dont know if you have seen my kit car, but basically it just has an old beetle engine in it, nothing very high tech.

Anyway, it broke down about 1 month agao, terrible screeching noise on trying to start it first time, and then nothing...completely dead.

Called out the AA and they did arrive fairly quickly, but it took him 1 hour to diagnose a duff starter motor, so he took it off completely. We then tried bump starting it for nearly forty minuites with no joy, still dead.

He called out a tow truck, and the we waited another 40 mins, the second driver came, looked over the engine and said to the first guy...."No wonder you couldnt bump start it, you have connected the ignition wires back up !
 
yeah, i hate all places like that, they are all shite, over priced and employ nothing but monkeys rejected by the circus. I used to do all the servicing etc myself on my old car so i knew it was done to a good standard. Now i have the bravo i wanted to keep the log book stamped, but i have been very careful where i take it! Only people i know & trust.

Hope you laid into them properly and got something for it. With any luck the nova driving drain on society will have lost his job and been battered to death by his 13 year old pregnant girlfriend when he got home who then took her own life by driving the nova into the sea so that we don't have to look at it or hear it anymore when she realised what she had done!


Christ listen to me?!?!?!?!

Sorry if i cause offence to anyone with my rant, unless they actually are the person i described. In that case BE OFFENDED!!! lol

sorry!
 
Halfords

I think they're part of the Halfords chain - the AA service centres. That would explain why they are crap.
 
Re: Halfords

Halfords used to be in partnership with dawoo,.. that went pear shaped, so they converted the showrooms into garages. this was good, except boots (the owner at the time) was making no money needed cash fast so it sold all of the garages to the AA (now owned by the ever cost cutting Brittish Gas). The AA garages are not part of halfords and never have been.
 
Re: Re: Halfords

i disagree with you. i am in the aa and halfords are included in the list of aa service centres i am given. there must be a link atleast!

Only one 't' in BRITISH !
Britain may or may not be a homeland to be proud of in your eyes, but try to spell it correctly please.

Re: Re: Re: Halfords

i asked about this today at work, the only link is that we have a working partnership due to convenience reasons. Halfords and AA staff members are on different payrolls, have different uniforms, use different computer systems and have different regulations. They are not part of the same company, the only reason why they are listed in the store directories is for convenience because of the Halfords Free Fit on stereos can be done at the AA garages.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Halfords

ok, well thats too confusing for me! I think i'll keep my aa dealings with the guy on the roadside (not that i ever intend to meet him, thats why i drive a fiat!)

And of course buying quality mods from halfords!!!
