Title: Jocks Garage
Post by: eddie on 03 February 2009, 17:32:19
Just saw an episode of 'The Garage' on Disco channel, nice one,dragging a ferrari's belly on the ramp in and out of the Garage.
It was in for squeaky brakes, pads replaced but no-one looked at the disks,they had a lot of offset wear.
When it came back a few days later they then had the (drilled/ventilated) disks skimmed !

Is it just me or are they a bunch of comedians?

Would YOU let them touch your wheels?

Only one who would get to touch anything of mine is the receptionist. :-X

Then again, the nice one quit, and was a total airhead.

They seem to spend a lot of time attacking the cars with a hammer. Doesn't inspire much confidence in the garage trade!

I was at the garage when I was on a trip to the costa del sol last year.

We were wandering around for two hours trying to find it, and when we did it was closed ;D ;D

Methinks it would be good fun to take a v6 miggy in and ask them to change the thermostat.  I bet jock got a special hammer for that one!

I would bet that Jock served his time as a Marine Engineer.....  

6 pound, short handled, lump hammer or a shifting spanner with a flat blade screwdriver lever.....

Or, if its really really stuck, a long handled Monday hammer (aka sledgehammer).....   ;D

We had a foreman fitter like that.
His toolkit comprised a range of hammers and a screwdriver he'd made out of a bit of power hacksaw blade, he once told us he worked on Spitfires during the war.
The reply "Who for the bloody Luftwaffe?"  ;D ;D
