I got some cheap mondeo 16" 5 spoke alloys a few weeks back. 2 weeks ago I gave them to a place called 'Wonder Wheels' near me. The bloke asked if they were urgent to which I said no. He said he was not gonna get them started until the beginning of last week. I called him on Friday and he said that they just started them and they will be done some time this week. Im not happy with that and need them back ASAP so I can fit the new front brakes. I have been trying to get in touch all day, on his mobile and landline and have had no answer and no return of my messages. What should I do???
go down there if it aint too far

a) Turn up mob-handed and torch the place, knocking the crap out of the employees and him in particular.

Pros: Satisfaction and knowledge that he'll never do it again

Cons: Wheels still won't get done

 

b) Try texting or faxing, telling him that you need them before the end of this week .

Pros: Know he'll get the message

Cons: Wheels still won't get done

 

c) Visit the place and tell him that when you said "not urgent" you meant some time before the next ice age.

Pros: Certainty that the messge has got thru, and possibility of pushing for a goodwill discount.

Cons: Probably won't hurry and claim he was doing you a favour fitting them in. May chuck unfinished wheels back and tell u to get lost

 

C is probably the best starting point :thumb:

stop being so impatient, go round some time this week and pick em up

 

i have serious thoughts that my wheels jumped the cue, i bet the honda garage used the same company to do mine and mine got done last thursday :roll: :roll:

The bloke asked if they were urgent to which I said no.

Mistake number one :roll:

hope you get em back! keep ringing and badgerin' em, sometimes its the only way!! i had to wait 5 months to get hold of some alu-look dash paint from a local motorsport shop, and it took going down and making em ring thier suppliers up infront of me to finally get the paint on its soddin way, just go with backup tho incase they get roudy!! unless your six foot six that is.....good luck. :thumb:
