Talking to the manager of the local ATS the other day, he said he'd had a bump in his Avensis. It was in at a local repairers for repair (as soon as he said who I had to smile). New rear panel and bumper. No damage to the qtrs or boot floor. How long did I think it should be in for?
I told him that we'd turn it round in 3 days. His eyes bulged, I swear. This other lot have had it 6 WEEKS! When he'd rung them a couple of days before, the manager had said ' well it is a big job'
The mind boggles. We replaced a qtr, rear panel, door, wing, both bumpers and the entire rear suspension (not to mention the air curtain and other bits and pieces) on a CLK a couple of weeks ago. Started Monday, delivered back Friday. And it was far from being the only one we did that week.
And there's only 3 1/2 of us in the workshop (the half being the youngster thats been there a month.
He wasn't impressed - think he might be making one or two phone calls...
