I cant think of a single mechanic, or anyone else in a similar type of industry for that matter, who would stand for having customers looking over their shoulder constantly questioning their every move while they work. y...
BTDT.....spent 3+hours changing a turbo on Lancia Delta HF Turbo with customer looking in, and under the bonnet the whole time, many years ago..........very annoying...........the job took twice as long as it should have.........:cool:
....ooh, that's a YouTube event just waiting to happen..... Picture the scene, you leave in your silver A4 for a service, and it disappears around the corner. Next thing you see it on the plasma in reception, coming on to the ramp. But mechanic has it tough: the wotchacall it couldn't come off, so, bigger tools involved. No go. Even bigger tools......but it slips, the mechanic's hand crashes into Sharp Part Under Bonnet........blood gushes everywhere....cue 'We Are Sparta' slow-mo-Blood Cam......! :eek:.......and then mechanic freaks out: grabs 4lb hammer and beats the **** out of the A4, breaks headlights, smashes windscreen and pulls the bumper off: all in a fit of temper........:eek:....OMG OMG OMG , it's carnage everywhere....and starts screaming customer's name, grabs lever bar, muttering something about killing the m-f owner and heads for door to Service Reception....and you move from looking at the screen, to the door beside you, which burst open and guys tears in and..............bursts ass laughing............you've just been set up!.....and the 'doppelganger' of your car is still on the lift.......but yours has been oh-so-quietly serviced out the back, by someone else.knifey_spoonie wrote: »Id love to see a customers face, as a mechanic was tring to get a seized wheel off a hub, first a gentle smack, then the rubber hammer, then the lump hammer and finally a sledge.
Call it Perfromance Art. Vorsprung Durch.........Theater !
Now, didn't the time waiting for you car to be serviced just fly by ?
Jeez, you could have loads of fun with it: play a video of 'A Car' (like yours) being serviced in sterile white area, by guy in labcoat,.......whilst your real car is ..........somewhere else.........
oooh, good one. Tell the customers the diagnostic machine uses German voice commands as he works, timing him on the job....:Ddaveharnett wrote: »The mechanics should communicate only through German. Should eliminate a lot of the nuisances over the ear-piece for them
.Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

I think this is an excellent idea as the one part of dealing with a mechanic that annoys me is time- Ive had several experiences where the time charged seemed excessive for the job completed with no explanation.Another is it always being billed in hour instalments- some garages seem to think that 1 hour and 15 minutes should get billed as 2 hours.
There's already creches that use webcams so parents can keep an eye on their baby. So a natural progression of that is cameras so the lads can keep an eye on their baby

....just so long as when you get presented with a bill for the extra hour it took to undo welded-with-rust bolts, and have the video to prove, that you cough up without be-atching about it... Works both ways, boys.
Oh, and ye're paying for the camera's as well btw....;)Ode To The Motorist
