First service on new truck

Now as most of you know nothing is ever straight forward with me :unamused:

I dropped the unit in on Friday pm for it’s first service (different dealer to the one I bought it from)

Nice pleasant young ladies on the service counter booked me in & told me it would be ready to pick up from 07.00am onwards.

On the way in I saw an old pal of mine that I grew up with who now works at the dealers I let him know I would just book motor in then come back for a chat, When I got back he’d disappeared (must be management :wink: )

Anyway I get a phone call at 07.10

young lady

“Have you left to pick up lorry yet”

(considering 10 seconds earlier I was still inspecting the back of eyelids) I replied

“no, Why”

Y.L

“We’ve had a couple of problems”

Me

“What kind of problems?”

Y.L

“The fitter who was working on your vehicle had to go home sick last night”

Me

“does that mean the service hasn’t been done?”

Y.L

“No the service has been done but when they put the cab up they smashed the windscreen so it wont be available until 10.30”

Me

“I know I never left anything loose in the cab!”

Y.L

“Dont worry we wont be charging you for the screen”

Me

" Ok as long as it’s ready for me today no probs"

Y.L

“ok see you at 10.30 then”

Now ironically considering the past history with this motor I was quite pleased with way this was handled.

They had the courtesy to ring me to save a wasted journey
They admitted to breaking the screen & rectified it before I arrive to pick it up
And the motor was ready spot on 10.30.

When I arrive I asked if the list of faults had been rectified she didn’t know at the time but assured me she would fax me a copy of the service sheet as soon as it is available.

I know at least one of the faults has not been done but it way down the list of priorities so considering what happened with the fitter I’m not surprised it was not done

All in all I’m pleased so far with their customer service level

Time will tell

Wait til you turn your blower on … :laughing:

You won’t be so chirpy then :open_mouth: .

Jonah springs to mind… :laughing:

And a list of faults??
Thought Volvos were supposed to be good? :laughing:

Wanna buy a nice Iveco? :sunglasses:

sounds a bit like the fitter perhaps had a fit - someone upset him - he threw a tantrum - chucked a tool box through the window of your truck and went home.
it happens all the time.

he was probably a relative of jaques chirac! :smiling_imp:

I remained optimistic until…

I tried to use the mobile phone

One of the “list” of problems was the phone keeps losing reception & freezing

now it keeps losing reception & freezing up PLUS it now no longer works on handsfree :open_mouth:

Also one of the jobs that was done from the orginal “list” of problems that I had when I first picked up the lorry was the cruise control not working

that was fixed at Ely but has now been re-installed :unamused:

Some people are never satisfied are they Rob?
Always finding something to complain about.
You’d think he’d be happy with a brand new motor… but no.
I blame the parents.
:laughing:

I blame the parents.
