Hi. Hope you don't mind me joining the discussion. I look after all of the Longlife Franchises and as such keep an eye on the forums to see what's been discussed about us.
I'm really pleased to see that some of you have had some positive experiences with our various Franchisees. Certainly the ones who have been mentioned - Bicester, Bristol and Leeds will all do a great job for you. With regard to the Bristol depot, I saw that someone had a couple of issues with the manager. I'd just like to point out that the depot changed hands earlier this year. Same fitter, just a different company owning and running it so I hope that your previous experience won't put you off.
Back to the point of me replying, Neil in the Taunton depot is a great guy who takes extreme care both with his work and his customer service. I'd recommend that the original poster pop down and have a look at his work before you make any decisions on where to spend your hard earned money. I can assure you you'll be most impressed with him and his attention to detail.
Finally, if anybody ever has any feedback about any of our franchisees, good or bad, i'll always listen and help where needed.
Kind Regards
Jason - Longlife
