I feel sorry for kev in a way, obviously been doing something right to still be in business for so long and have a good reputation.

However if that was my car I would be fuming and I think the actions of a stupid employee will cost him a lot of business and bad press

After watching the video again, 100% without a doubt the driver was aiming for the potholes. Disgraceful.

He's more likely to be culling the Facebook page: looks like a lot of comments are being deleted as soon as they go up!

As others have said it is perhaps a little unfair to tarnish the whole company based on the actions of two members of staff...

...but, given that the owner of the car approached the company a few days ago, they could have dealt with this before the video surfaced.

Yeah I don't see how even people who have a lot of love for SC can defend that!

Satisfied customers? Have a look on the SIOC thread, they are coming out in droves to condemn and damn!

Why has he never filled the potholes in before now ?

SC won't go out of business over this, they will lose some custom for sure but it may not have been custom they would have had to begin with

This could have been sorted very easily offline, but someone decided to call someones bluff and failed badly

Been following this thread from the start on here and MLR but refrained from posting an opinion without evidence. Well there is actual video footage after all and its not good. Its not as bad as I thought it may be, but bad enough nonetheless. Now that coupled with the attitude of Scooby Clinic in dealing with the customer and the subtle intimidation he claims to have faced there when complaining and Scooby Clinics behaviour on the forums subsequently all is pretty bad and inexcusable IMO. A sad shame really...

Think you have to be a member mate but the guy who's car it is has joined and is talking to kev on there.

hes worked out based on the length of the lane and time taken to drive it from the footage he was travelling 19mph

Too little too late, he should have dealt with it correctly in the first place. When he had the chance instead of trying to intimidate the poor lad!
