Hi everyone
This is my first post on the forum
I have bought a Fiat Seicento Sporting Broom Yellow that is the best car i've bought so far.
I've heard that Seis are easy to break into but hard to take away so i thought that this is not happening again...
I called around to see if anyone could help with an alarm... cool.. found a mobile company in Bristol who fitted me an alarm that has everything on it (Sonics, Boot, Bonet, Doors, Windows, Tilt sensors, etc, etc,) fitted with 12 month warrenty for £178. Good eh
Now i needed to get the doors de-locked...
Phoned my local car body repair shops...
The fisrt one quoted me £220 (not bad). I said ok ill ring you when im on my way down with the car..
Few hours later i rang him back...
"Hello, im on my way with the Fiat..."
"Oh, well, i'm very busy now and i have a huge work order from one of my regulars. "i wont be able to do it for a while now... i'll ring you back when i can fit it in" he said.
So with that i thought "£*%@" so i rang another local body shop and told him the story...
He said.." Oh, i'll do that in a few days and i'll charge you £200! (saved £20 quid) lol
I'll let you know the full result (with piccys) when i get the car back finnished.
TOP TIP:
Step one... Get a price off the 1st garage/company you see/ like the look of, then ring others local in the area,
Step two... Say you are going on holiday and you must have the car done by X date, that way, they will get the car done sooner, you get the car back quicker, aaaand you save money!
