How about a forum, spilt into North West, North East etc etc etc
We can then post in 'local' garages we have had good / bad experiences with.
Where can do tech2 work reasonably etc.

Sounds like a good idea :)

Sounds a reasonable suggestion :y
-
I like the idea but I'm not sure it would work.
Some may have a good experience at a garage whilst others may not & is it a good idea to "shame" a garage on a public forum?
-
Sounds good but have to agree with BoBo
-
I suppose it would be possible with a disclaimer about all comments being the opinion of the author and not of the site admins but expect it would be a legal minefield.
Shame really cause it could have been helpful.
-
I'm entirely undecided on this one.
-
All fair comments.
What started it was I found that a place near me has tech2, so wanted somewhere to post :
Just been to MW Performance, in Saltney, Chester
Where they do tech2 stuff for £15
Very helpful, As he couldn't / didn't know how to resolve at the time, no charge but is 'looking into it and come back in a day or 2'

To avoid the problem of derisory comments for unhelpful garages maybe just garages that you would reccomend? You couldn't really be blamed for good publicity.

Good Point :)

I agree....so am I.

Great idea. How else are people to find a reliable garage in their area ?. Trial and error on omegas can cost a fortune as many members will testify. If a member knows a non rip off, knowlegeable mechanic and wants to recommend them, I for one would be willing to check them out. I agree slagging off should not be allowed (sadly) but this would mean, in the long run that only those with recommendations would prosper. And quite rightly so. I am sure a lot of members, like myself have had terrible experiences with mechanics who know little more than them, but do'nt mind emptying your back pocket. I think a recommendation section should at least be considered. How about it. All in favour say YEAH
-
Yeah, good idea provided (as said above) it's recommendations only and no slagging off :y

I can recommend the garage attatched to Marks house ;)

I shall try that garage this weekend. I'll let you know if I get poor service there ;)

eally good idea
-
Good idea, I've already posted a couple of times on: wheel alignment, respray and alloy wheel repair, people could rate them perhaps? You shouldn't be guaranteeing anything by recommending a place to go - it should still all be at your own risk, just as the maintenance guides are..
-
Good idea. :y
Local council, Fife, has a scheme oor should that be scream, with certain local garages registered with them that will abide with certain set rules.
Also i know that Car Mechanics, magazine, also do a similar thing with readers sending in their findings. Think it would certainly help for those of us used to travelling into the nether regions in search of a holiday and having a problem with their mega. :y

Not entirely sure how this could be usefully implemented into a forum type site....

How about a sub forum, or an updatable sticky under maintenance guides - you could title it Services for your Omega, Reccomended by Members - or something not that long?!

Believe it or not, the base forum software does not support sub forums >:(

Ah, bit of a stumbling block there! I would agree that it probably shouldn't have a completely seperate forum, so that doesn't leave you a lot in the way of options..

Once we get rid of Maintenence Guides and FAQs etc, then adding a couple of new sections won't be so cluttered....
