Default do they not want your custom !!!!

phoned keith micheals today for a quote and was told he would ring me back soon as possible with a quote for my wrx . that was at 10 this morning !!!!!!!!!!! do these companys want your custom or not ??
really annoys me that i spend my time getting charged 7 pence per minute for the phone call and after being put on hold and waiting around probably for a total of 10-15 minutes !! and get no call back !!! fine adrian flux it is then un-real

I found this with Keith M also - couldn't get through on the phone so sent an email outlining everything as per the website....

That was almost 2weeks ago and still nothing.....why?!?!

They've lost my custom this time - Another insurer have come up trumps again!!

To put it simply - yes, we do want your custom.

I fully appreciate it's hard to get hold of me, and i know it must be frustrating.

I do try my hardest to get back to everyone who wants a quote, but unfortunately i can't get back to everyone.

If anyone wants a quote and doesn't want to keep ringing feel free to pm me your details, and i'll try my hardest to get back to you.

Of course, if you're trying to get hold of me during busy periods (especially Mondays and Fridays) it'll be harder to get through, so i'd suggest trying in the middle of the week, when it tends to be quieter.

Like i said though, pm me your number and i'll try to get back to you asap.

Moley, you excel yourself, promoting the company you work for at 8pm (now get to the pub and get a life), you've so far come up trumps for me.

Totally unacceptable for ANY company to charge you for phoning them when they want your money.

A little harsh. In this day and age you need to accept that Subaru impreza owners come from different backgrounds, age groups and cultures. You sound a little prehistoric trying to sterio type us younger drivers. If some one wants to use text speak, let them I say!

I can't fault Flux. Been with them years. At renewal time I always shop around but can never beat their prices.
