on the plus side you've got a brand new motability car though
-
i wouldnt get to upset its not as though its your car is it?
you only renting it for 3 years then it gets swapped.
in fact id bet money the wheel came of another car that someone was paying for.
-
All Vx motability should ahev parking sensors as standard.
They will fit the number plate ones I suspect (which are crap).
Twist there arm and get them to fit the correct park pilot system (its 13355927 for an Astra)

Good, sounds like a bit of jealousy to me - IMHO. I know that getting a "brand new" car isn't always considered to be a good idea financially - but it does make you feel good, and to have that spoiled by some t*sser in a dealership really grates and takes the shine off the event.
Something similar happened to my Father back in 1993. He took delivery of a brand new Cavalier Diplomat and specified the fitting of an official Vx towbar. When we inspected the car it was obvious that the clown who had fitted the electrics couldn't give a monkeys as the direct feed wiring from the battery to the rear was put through a hole without a rubber grommet. My old man was quite upset and even immediate rectification and a full tank of fuel as compensation did little to offset that.
All just my opinion of course ........

please feel free to disagree but which point are you disagreeing with?
that its not his car?
or that hes renting it?

I think R1 was just pointing out that he personally wouldn't be too upset. I would probably be a bit miffed but it wouldnt bother me either. Just my op though :)
-
unfortunately not everything goes to plan. Get the wheel repaired and the proper parking sensors fitted, end of. Alloy most probably kerbed in transit. :y

So if you rent something. You shouldn't get upset when things go wrong with it? Where as if you buy something you should?

No. I can honestly say I wouldn't be upset if the wheel was curbed a bit on a rented car :)
Again, though that's just me. :y

Until you hand it back after 3 years and they charge you for the damage! Just because it's rented doesn't mean you haven't got to look after it (quite the opposite in fact).

Very good point. :y

Whether its rented or bought is irrelevent, its a new car and should be supplied in new condition. A repaired wheel should not be acceptable - it should be supplied with new unkerbed wheels.
-
motability have a procedure in place for dealers regarding the rectification of damaged vehicles and by repairing the alloy they are within those set guidelines.
-
Maybe but a car turning up without parking sensors after it being a requirement of the Mobility scheme is pretty piss poor
-
My main issue was rented or buy ffs its a brand new car or should be, They have admitted the wheel was scratched in transit and the parking sensors were missed from the order so thats what i am having a moan about the fact no one seems to care, anyway its not free i still pay £200 a month for this car, anyway moan over wheel repaired today,just waiting for the sensors to arrive,
:y :y :y
-
Any brand new car, bought, rented, company car, whatever, should be (almost) perfect.
-
Thanks TB that is what this post is about the fact that the dealer dosnt give a toss,

Few Vauxhall dealers do. IME, they are some of the worse out there, probably with the exception of Renault.

I had a situation which looked like at the time I was going to lose my lower leg. To try and cheer myself up I started looking at what cars I could get if I qualified for DLA. Talking to the dealers I found anything from the VAG group was very good however Audi were quiet snotty. Ford were excellent, Vx piss poor but the biscuit goes to Renault. Who even though I was on crutches couldn't even be bothered to find a chair for me. After about 20 minutes of trying to get them to stop talking about football and take some notice of the customer a guy walked up to me was what I considered rude. So I just ended up hopping out the showroom. Peugeot were very good to.

one of the only reasons i went to vauxhall is because i like the astra i wanted a medium size car nice spec and very low deposit,

Agreed. It takes the shine off something when you have to haggle about getting bits sorted. Also, as already said, the return standards on lease/rental vehicles are much tighter so you do have to be extra careful when choosing a parking space.
I can see why the OP is annoyed. :y
