is this safe?!?!?!

Post by Ruffian »

Got a vehicle dropped to us earlier which had failed mot on brakes,A company had already had a go and let the vehicle out, Would not release failure doc either and when removed the wheels this is what we were greeted with,This is shocking how somepeople can get away with it as its cut 75% through in places Our suspicions are they didnt know to remove hub nut to remove the drum,

It just makes no sence why risk someone elses life by doing a bad job,
Do it once do it right,

Lots of places are built on reputaion and shame people dont see what goes on behind the scenes.

Yep, in the interest of public safety, that needs reporting to either trading standards or VOSA .....

The customer is planning on taking it further,

Was originally done at a country wide chain of garages,
Just glad I work on my own vehicles for my own piece of mind!!

words that i cannot use here i am thinking, basically to do with making love and the persons parentage , I think the angle grinder across their fingers so they can never work on a vehicle again would be nearly the right action
