NO ..... I think they have gone belly-up .....

Charlie the head mechanic, phoned me on last Friday, to say the van was ready, and they would bring it back to me on Monday or Tuesday. On another forum, not far from here, was a posting last Monday lunch-time ..... that they had shut their doors.

I went down straight away .... only to find it all shut and bolted ....

Cheers

Pete

Heard a whisper about this too ... what a shame, they have been there for a long, long time. I remember my parents buying an awning from them when I was in my pushchair!

Pete I would be getting your 'van ASAP if I were you. Let us know how you get on.

I would be knocking their door down to get my van back.

On a different note my brother bought a living room suite from one of the big stores a few years ago. After 1 month the sofa had to go back for repair under warranty.
The company went out of business and a lot of folks had paid deposits/full payment and had not yet received their goods and lost the lot.
There was also a few folks who like my brother had items in for repair.
It took ages to sort out with the liquidators and get his sofa back as the store had missing computer data and paperwork had been destroyed.

Hi all ..... yeap ... go the van out on the 6th ..... they were not answering their phone .... so to save a wasted journey (36 Miles each way) I phone Russells, the shop across the road, and politely asked the lass "Could you please look out of the window and see if their gate are open" "Yes, was the reply .... but I don't know for how much longer ...."

Leapt into the motor and straight there .... could find my van or paperwork. I knew the van was in the workshop .... they found it and wheeled it out .....

The van was very filthy inside, and for 17 days a couple of lights had been left on as had the heater fan ..... so battery flat ....

Service book had not been stamped ... so back into the office got the paperwork and book stamped .... but no invoice ..... so I legged it ....

Graeme, the owner was there, I was the only customer but he didn't both to come over and apolgise or offer any comment ....

Will I be going back ..... answers on a post-card ..... to :

Let me know how others are getting on ....

 

Cheers

Pete

The van was very filthy inside, and for 17 days a couple of lights had been left on as had the heater fan ..... so battery flat ....

Did they offer you a new battery or did you have to buy a new battery yourself? A flat flat leisure battery often won't take a charge after treatment like that.

Sorry to hear of this.

Hi Jax .... the company is going/gone bust ...... the lights were still on and the fan was still running ... so not completely flat .....

It's on charge, now, at home ..... and I'm justraying that it will be ok ....

Cheers

Pete
