Too true. In my old garage, I worked with a gr8 set of lads. On my saturday in, I could ask them to leave their toolboxes open, then ask the owner if I could use the ramps. Would get my car in the workshop, lift it up on 4poster, adn do any work I needed to do, in pefect conditions, with all the tools required.
Then once everything was done, toolboxes shut, workshop all locked up, I would then ask the owner if I could use the valletting bay,a dn I wash and clean my car.
As long as I asked him, the answer was always "yes"....No one does anyone favours now. It all has to be done "through the books" for Health and Safety.........................Just to screw staff for money I say. I mean, to get MOT done at my garage, I pay the full public rate of £58! I have to pay now to get tyres fitted! Think I will wait now until I go and see Stamford and the "fix it meet".......
