Just another warning, please please listen

Postby Mazda Mender » Tue Jul 06, 2021 7:59 am

I feel that i need to highlight the rip off actions that are happening far more than I am liking to see now, please please please, when having any kind of work carried out on your roadsters, you want proof of work done, be it by pics of the whole process if welding/body work, roofs,engine, brakes etc etc, if no pics ,then you want to see the old parts, NEVER take their word for it, because its a mates of a friends friends mate that you can trust?.
These people don't care, and will take your money in a blink of an eye , and will sleep at night soundly after ripping you off, and take your cash with a smile.
Do not hand over any cash until you are 100% satisfied with the work, get in there or under as the case maybe, know what your looking for, do your home work, take a knowledgeable person with you( they hate that) or ask us , the mazdamenders are here to help you from getting ripped off ,as we have and use our roadsters too, don't be done over.
This week alone i have dealt with a very poorly fitted roof skin with a rail rail re fitted that you may as well left off for what good it was doing, and they paid very good money for that service of shame.
The other is undersealing, and servicing, where do i start, owners are having this done because they love their cars and want them to last, but this is what was paid for yet again....it is disgraceful, i have seen the full service sheets, my heart sank.
Question everything, make sure its right, get proof , don't trust a smile, they could not care less about you and your car , its your money they want, so do not hand it over until you are 100% satisfied.

Wayne.

After first speaking to you, then taking a cross country ride out to actually meet you I now fully understand your passion and desires for these wee roadsters. Wish I had known about menders a whole lot earlier then maybe I would have kept hold of our mk2.5 SVT as with the advice and help on this forum I am sure I could have fettled her myself.

I only trust a couple of garages over this side of the country to lay spanners on the Eunos if I ever get stuck.

Your words of warning and advice should be taken seriously. All too often I hear of people being ripped of by Main Dealers, Halfords, Quickfit and the likes. Stoneacre Ford have just tried to steal £250.00 from the daughter in law for a set of discs and pads for her Fiesta. (Not a Mazda agreed)

An hour of my time and £80.00 for the parts (not cheap parts either)

I love my wee bog standard 30 year old Eunos and want to keep her that way for as long as I can and with Menders by my side I am sure we can.

I do have videos on the ones mentioned and I'll add them to the you tube channel and link here, i am seeing all this far to often than i am comfortable with now, you see i always look at it that it could be me getting ripped off if i did not know what i know and do what i do, and it is not just a couple of £'s, its good strong money they are taking, i honestly don't know how these people sleep soundly at night.

You know me Wayne. Not on and never will be on Facebook.

Just no interest in anti social media despite knowing that there is some benefits to it.
