Totally agree mate but there is a way to say and do things.

Remember it is not about getting things for the cheapest price.
Think Aldi v's Marks and Spencers.
A mixture of good customer service and workmanship has to be added into the mix.

I asked APi to become a WMI trader, why?
because they are bloody good at what they do, fact! (yes I have used them)
They may not be the cheapest, but hey, if I/or my members dont like it then there are plenty of other options.
What I am not going to tolerate is a slanging match based on an opinion. Its not good for either WMI or its Traders.

Why do we have McDonalds (Star City) and a nice cosy country pub end location at all WMi meets? I try to give members choice, not everyone can afford £8 for a burger

I cant please everyone all of the time, but I do try

Well said tim they do all the work on my car and are far more than fair with pricing and the service is second to none if you dont like the price or the get it cheaper go somewere else simple no issue not just sit and bitch on the keyboard

hang on am i not right in having an opinion here? tez and mit your going to say that because youve had dealings with them. H im sorry but too say that comparing marks and spencers to aldis is far wide of the mark? thats infering api are the best in the business and everyone else is just pants? think kevin at clinic, keith at projects and laterall would beg to differ these are the guys ive been talkin to.even roger clark are cheaper. 1450 quid to polybush and track a car?. when every other direct competior is half the price. am i the only one doing the math here??.what does wmi trusted trader status bring? i was under the impression it was a good job and discount rates??. if its not why are they trusted traders?? im sorry mate but at the end of the day ive spoke to api direct over the last few days they asked me to double check the prices with scooby projects which i did. ive been upfront about this as i am with anything else. ive done my homework. there dead expensive. im not telling people not to go to api there reputation is outstanding but there pricing strategy is most definatley not and you should shop around. surely this is good information for members to make there own minds up on there own experiences.

smc Its because we have had dealings with them you should hear us out ! and Trust me if I wasn't happy I would say some think and I know Tez would too lol

I think when spending money doesn't matter how much you spend you want to feel valued and also know your going to be looked after and I feel API did this in a big way so you are haven your say and me and Tez are have R's

peace!!!
