I think I was very badly treated by Torque Development(Essex).Firstly,after spending £650 with them on a HKS exhaust they charged me over £70 to fit it.SS charged £10 when they swapped it back over for my standard exhaust.TDi also threw away(or kept!) something called a "doughnut" which I needed when I put the standard exhaust back on. This cost me £50!!! So total cost of fitting the exhaust £120!!
I had spent in total over £1000 with TDi(also bought a HKS induction kit) yet they would not offer me any advice over the phone about a noise I could hear from the engine.I was'nt expecting a solid diagnoses but one of the partners would not even discuss it until I paid him £70/hr to have a look at the car .ScoobySport on the other hand who I have only given about £250 of business to spent 20 minutes discussing the possibilities with me on the phone.I hope this is helpful to other Scooby owners in the area.
PS, Can I be sued for saying this???????? =

Some of us Essex Lads prefer the more exclusive labels....George @ ASDA

PS: Pete and the boys are stars and always welcome anyone who just pops in for a visit, probably because you end up spending money

It's a shame customer service from other companies isn't as good as Scoobysport.

I haven't spent much but Pete is always happy to chat and offer advice (he probably says, "what a w4nka", when he puts the phone down, but then most people do )

Reckon Pete could make another nice little earner on Customer Service Seminars

Dave,

Terribly sorry but I've been struggling since C&A closed at Lakeside I may pop into M&S over the weekend to see what I've been missing out on

Thanks for the kind words guys.

The philosophy is simple, we all own Imprezas here, so we always to treat customers how we would want to be treated.


Luke... In San Remo, Armani's are cheaper than Levis

Scott,

Doesn't surprise. You're just a jealous little boy with an inferiority complex

Craig, you forgot "with a small you know what"....

Scott, you deserve that for all the gay cracks I've had to put up with recently. Maybe I'll get Nicola to give you a slap next time you cus me so in front of her....

That'd be quite funny to watch....

Matt.
