Blinky16v 0 Posted March 3, 2006 Lots of London based C owners around here so just in case you have the misfirtune to have a prang make sure you do not use Abbey Coachworks of Wembley for the repair work! I was involved in a minor shunt a while ago, front and rear damage (minor) (front bumper, grill, bonnet, rear bumper) My C went into Abbey Coahworks for repair as they are a repair center for Elephant.co.uk. My gripe with tme is: It took them 4 months to fix my car, when I got it back: 1) They had snapped the passenger seat recliner handle 2) They forced open my sunroof and bust it (oily fingerprints on roof lining) 3) Oil warning light was constantly flashing (they screwed the loom) 4) Bonnet was not fitted correctly 5) Windscreen jets not plugged back in 6) Paint job was shocking, started peeling after a week! 7) Oily rags and associated garage mess in car. 8 ) Minus the dents the car came back worse than it went in. They denied breaking anything to the point of being extremely rude. Their workmanship is equivilant to that of a 4 year old with a hammer. They are a filthy bunch to toerags who I reported to Trading Standards, Watchdog and comapnies house they do not deserve to be in business. It took me a year of arguing with elephant.co.uk (who didn't want to know) they also denied anything was wrong with my cars repairs, it was not until I started court action against them it finally got resolved. Sooo, if you love your C and you don't want monkies "repairing" it; DO NOT USE Abbey Coachworks of Wembley, and if you use Elephant.co.uk as you're insurer, make sure you tell them where you want your car repaired if you have a dink and get recomendations from the boys and girls on this forum as to where to go!

Blinky16v 0 Posted March 3, 2006 Yup, Southern monkies! Abbey Coachworks of Wembley not only deserve to be named and shamed but should rot in the firey pits of hell IMO, they're dishonest, rude and know nothing about repair works or customer service, just a bunch or arrogant morons. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!! Another one to avoid is Heathrow Volkswagon on the A30 in Ashford, Middlesex, but thats another story! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blinky16v 0 Posted March 17, 2006 As a further note a mate of a mate took her car ther after a prang a few weeks back, they also fecked her car up. She was also insured by Elephant.co.uk so they're still using these spunkmonkies. So elephant.co.uk customers in London - Watch out! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
