i quoted a customer a couple of weeks ago for a full set of leafs and shockers for a hilux over the phone.never heard back from him untill today.
hello i spoke to you a couple of weeks ago about getting new suspention on my hilux. just wonderijng if i can bring it in for a wheel alignment.i got the work done down in melbourne they were $200 cheaper.ok we could do that now if you like.
put car up on hoist and as usual have a sticky at the work they done.
well well what do we have here.
(1)every single nut(no bull....)every single nut on u bolts loose.
(2)no spring washers to be seen on any
(3)one nut on rear u bolt cross threaded.
(4)shocks were made in mexico(im not telling you the name)lol we call them roadworthy shocks the type you fit when your selling your car.i quoted him on pedders.
(5)shocks wernt even the right ones there was a 5mm gap between the bush mounting and the bushs.
(6)didnt end up doing wheel alignment Lh tie rod end about to fall of.
so i was $200 dearer trip to melb$50 petrol .me to replace 1 u bolt and fit spring washes $60 another trip to melbourne to get shocks looked at another$50 20 min argument with guy on mobile that would have to be $10 so a total saving over my price of $30. and probly have to replace shockers in 6months again.
SO REMEMBER YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.
cheers
