I think we should all build a big wicker man thing and put them all in it and burn it..

 

You've obviously not been paying attention then have you.

 

Lol, I meant for a dyno day

 

Has the employee in question resigned, or merely tendered his resignation?

 

Rocky road ?

 

rocky road?

 

snap lol

 

Hi Maz, yes I'm well, hope you and your's are too.

I'm old school too and believe in putting my hands up when I get it wrong, I would think from the small amount of time I have spent around Kev that he's not too descimilar either, but in this instance he has more than himself to think about, he has somewhere between 10 and 15 staff and their families to consider, also bear in mind it was a member of staff not himself that committed the offending act, so not so much the business but the individual in this instance, one that has been dealt with accordingly.

I think it's unfair and rather uncharitable to the other members of staff and their families to suggest they deserve to go to the wall.

 

What about the cars owner? I personally feel he lost all integrity when he went running off to the Daily Mail to sell his story (especially if there's any truth in that it's the first place Kev saw that video).

Yes that doesn't excuse what you see in the video (and some of Kev's comments) but the way the owner proceeded isn't much better.

 

The owner wanted to out SC and their actions, he had every right to go to the papers with it, word spreads fast especially on social media.

 

Fair question this. We don't know that it has been accepted. This doesn't state clearly that he will no longer work there.

 

 

Seen he said there's more than meets the eye with it all....

Maybe Ben has been working with Derren Brown to stage this whole situation.. Brainwashed the mechanics!

 

What was he meant to do? Roll over and take it up the wrong un ?

From what I have seen, Kev's attitude towards this customer was bad, and he threatened legal action and called him names on a forum, not the right way to go about things in my book

As I have said a few times, this could have all been sorted out privately offline, but no it went all public because the owner called someones bluff and tried to threaten him and called him names

and even now he won't admit his company has done wrong

 

I think that not sacking the guy is a big failure on SC's part here and I've certainly no axe to grind with them. He should have been sacked so that he can't just walk into a job elsewhere, saying "after 15 years I just felt like I needed a change....".

But then, why would you sack someone if you don't think they've done anything wrong? Had he not resigned, it doesn't sound like anything would have been done. To do so would have been an admission of guilt which is a road Kev has clearly decided not to go down.

As one of their customers, I'm disappointed in all honesty. This was a chance to go someway to putting things right.

 

I am amazed someone has said the video distorts the perception of the lane

Someone on FB said the following
To be fair amount of backlash on sc is mad I would say it's unfair. U have to think and ask the question, who on earth would drive from Essex to SC just to do a brake bleed I'm sorry but there are reputable garages in Essex that could have done the job?! More to that why would somebody drive down there with dodgy brakes? U have to look at it objectively what if the guy who owns a scooby was a tool and had history with sc and just wanted to get some money out of it....? Conveniently place was riddled with potholes and camera was left on... I don't know I wouldn't be rushed to conclusions so quicly


and Clinics response was this

Thank you at last someone is looking at this objectively,

So now the Clinic think this guy did it deliberatley?

They really should take responsibility for their actions

 

No one has said if the resignation has been accepted have they ?

 

Why did this guy go crying on the mlr about a problem with a Subaru at a Subaru specialist?

 

Probably asked him to hand it in to do them both a favour.. Been done at my work before!

 

Beacuse he is a member on MLR and owns a scoob and Evo and is not a member on here (or wasn't until yesterday) he is also a member of cliosort

and he didn't start this thread

 

i have the same issue with my sc46 due to the welds...how much is owens charging pal as il need mine doing?

 

what trouble you had with it mate as ive got one?

 

I have no issues with the exhaust turbine on the 42, it isnt welded mate... They will have to replace the housing, will most likely mean a remap if it isnt the same size exactly..

Im having the turbine replaced due to FOD and changing the plastic cages for metal ones and ceramic coating dude. They change a heatshield too

 

..............and so the conspiracy theories start.

 

oh dear. In all honesty the management do seem pretty clueless at this point. They're digging themselves a deeper hole with everything they say. Best to say nothing if that's the best they can come up with.

 

I think its all a big shame as been said for the Scooby community but just goes to prove your only as good a your last customer

 

Maybe the owner thinks that if he/ScoobyClinic admitted guilt then he, lets just say this as an example, could have to pay Ben £10k for repair costs and compensation (£10k just an example) which he thinks he can get out of not paying by not admitting guilt. But in doing so he is shooting himself in the foot as he's throwing away all his customers within the car community which will no doubt be worth more than £10k.

If he had admitted guilt with his hands up, he could claw back the car communities respect and possibly keep a lot of customers.

Is he forgetting that customers effectively make his business? No customers, no money.... He must be a pretty smart guy to be running a business for 20 odd years successfully, I just really can't see how he can be so stupid all of a sudden and how ANYONE with a bit of common sense and screw up this situation so badly. He's literally done everything wrong regarding this saga.

 

EXACTLY! This could have been done the first time Ben went back with the video and his car - they could have easily admitted . apologised and got his car up on a ramp and give it a look over to ensure no further damage had been caused and no doubt both parties would be happy as that would have been the best outcome for both involved.

A sorry - a free labour only incentive for a service or something (not that he would have come up for it anyway from Essex) and job done..!

As mentioned problems / accidents happen, Its how you deal with them that shows how good a person/company you really are.

Oh and that response...! p1ss take to say the least. Better off with no response if thats all they could come up with.

 

From what I hear there seems to be a certain segment of the FB community that have it in for SC and as the last time I was there they said most of their business now comes via fB I get the feeling that's what they are responding to.

I don't do FB or any of the groups on there as the only time I joined to have a look it was tubbys group and there were more retards and knuckle draggers than I thought existed in this world, which has since been confirmed several times over via the various things I have seen posted about such groups on here.

 

It's certainly littered with sc pictures that's have been edited all over (some posted on here).
Sad really.
