Hello, Does anyone know anyone working in RGM body repair place in swansea?

Thanks Claire

 

Claire, I worked there for 4 months in 2006. Is there a problem or are you looking to have worked carried out there?

PM me if you want.

 

I had some amazingly shoddy paint work carried out on my Mk3 Astra many years back. Obviously things change but I'd not go there personally.

Try Black-Hawk (aka Jarvis) or Old School Engineering for better quality body/paintwork

 

+1 for old school engineering.

 

Unfortunately it's about quantity not quality at RGM, don't get me wrong there are some very good people there (or were when I was there anyway) but you'd be surprised at the throughput of vehicles that they repair there weekly.

Blinking hell Jarvis you must be run off your feet at work.

And then some

 

I dare say since the boy started working there the amount of ROFW has increased a lot.

 

I'm looking for a bloke that may still work there! They called him trigger!

 

He's a street sweeper, is'nt he

 

Yes Dave

 

I remember him, he did QC and was in charge of the valeters.

Sorry Claire I did have his number but I'll see what I can do.

 

 

rgm are a pile of ****e. never again

 

Complaint about RGM......don't go there they are a bunch of cowboys who will wreck your car and put faults on it!!! BEWARE

 

Holy thread resurrection.

 

 

Well that's a positive first post.

And...

 

The standard of the work put out by RGM has always been mediocre at best; they are only interested in volume and not quality.

There are some good people there but they are not allowed to do a good job down to the pressure to get vehicles finished, if 1 out of every 20 complain then most busy bodyshops would find that OK, after all the other 19 either couldn't be bothered to complain or were happy with the repair - and that is considered to be acceptable.

 

Perhaps I should've started a new thread lol.....my car went to them to be fixed after a dosey woman drove into me and came out with the engine management light on!Of course they denied all knowledge of this. They also disconnected my battery which they denied at first and then of course admitted to, when I asked them why my cd player was asking for the code!
Just want to warn people. Ironically I was warned by a number of people beforehand not to take it to RGM but I didn't listen

 

Get in touch with your insurance company and complain to them about the repair - did you sign a satisfaction note?

It will be easy enough to read the fault code and it'll give an indication of the fault, whether this was caused by the accident is hard to say not knowing the repair carried out as it could literally be a coincidence.

What type of car is it? I'm assuming that RGM were your insurance company's nominated repairer plus did you sign the satisfaction note?

If yes to question of RGM being your insurance company's repairer you should contact your insurer once the fault is established and is a direct result of the accident or RGM's repair.

 

CAN bus
Clutch fault
Crank shaft sensor fault

I have been told by an auto electrician that this is probably caused by the battery being disconnected for a period of time.

I flipping signed the thing before I started the engine!

The best thing is that Swift Cover have been totally unhelpful and say I have to pay Mercedes for a report and if it says that they could've been caused by the accident or the battery being disconnected then they will refund me.

I spoke to MB who state that RGM are a reputable company and they carry out work for them so I am guessing the report isn't going to go in my favour

It is an a140 by the way.

 

If anyone also having a problem wants to get in touch please do. It's time these idiots were stopped
