Looks like one of our traders does not take care of our cars when test driving!

Who was it that said Scoobynet was dying 
this thread has livened things up a bit round here and pulled a few lurkers out of their holes.
Well has to be said my earlier thoughts about it sounding a bit fishy have been proven wrong
so I guess I deserve a slice of humble pie and an apology to you Ben for doubting your word. 
Seems to me like the bumper and headlight although possible previously damaged was most probably dislodged by the driver crashing through several rather large potholes with what appears to be very little regard for the customers car.
I hope the Clinic can come through this as there are plenty of good guys working there and I would hate to see them suffer due to the actions of one person.
At least the lad had the decency to fall on his sword, it would be nice to see a few words from Kev or a representative to put the wider community at ease along with some assurances that measures will be taken to insure this sort of behaviour won't be repeated, it may go some way towards stopping some of the damage currently being done.
As a fan of SC I think silence is not an acceptable response, something needs to be said, sooner rather than later.
All in my humble opinion of course.

Richard @FB Tuning in Princes Risborough is probably the only tuner down south I would use. He's a one man garage, his own company and his own reputation and livelihood on the line so takes proper care of each vehicle. Im actually gona try and twist his arm to work on my new M3 even though he's a Subaru specialist!
Top guy and very very helpful, i won't take my car to anyone else.

As for other tuners in and around Nottinghamshire I have used Carnetics in melton for geometry and they did a good job.

I have 2 cars that were maintained by them and it took me some time and cash to sort them out. And when phoned for advice got extremely unhelpful reaction so they definitely won't see me there...
Which kinda leaves me in bad place as need to find a new place to tweak my map and fit new injectors for me. Was going to go back to clinic...

To the more serious point at hand...
Fair play I was wrong and it doesn't look good at all for SC.
I stand by what I said though as that's my experience. I feel for Kev as some of his team have massively let him down which is out of his hands.
Do we all really believe things like this don't happen at many a garage though?Does this mean they no longer do a good job? I don't believe so but agreed I'd feel much more inclined to stick around and watch what was being done.
Sad day for all car lovers.
