[See the full post at: Mobile mechanic increases monthly income by 25 per cent through online platform]Meat-HeadGuestThat is a right load of w@nk. Have a look, you could potentially get a situation
To look at a nissan note airbag light flashing, you have driven 60 miles to the middle of nowhere, chucking down with rain, then open your van door to find a pot of screws fall out onto customers fresh gravel drive.Customer says light been on 8 months now failed mot & has ran out
You plug computer in, no fault, in history record, drivers squib, you then
Find you have no idea who the nearest dealership is.You get your phone out, search the imi Professional Register for that area for
Main dealership with imi professionals there.You enter the location where you are comes up (if your lucky), you click on it
No opening hours, no website, no phone numbers. You click deeper
The imi member is a salesperson.So you ditch that, tweet them #t@ssers
You get correct phone number from Nelson Mandella website, you ring the number, robot answers the call “we are recording this call”, but it’s eating your free minutes your running out of. No one actually answers the call.
You give up, ring the sister branch in town 50 miles away, they answer
And can dail into stock computer, no squib in stock £180+VAT. Won’t deliver to domestic house. Takes 10 days to come from Germany, if the frogs not blocking the tunnel.You tell person to save quote under reg. you inform the customer the price and customer says “too much, I don’t want to pay that much, take the bulb out”
The customer only wants to pay the price of local garage who are busy for a week.
You end up doing the job, you go back 12 days later because no lorry drivers to get part across the country.
Again raining, you get there, steering wheel nut been off before and got loads
Of locktight on the threads. You end up asking the customer for help, you end up unbolting a scaffold pole from a garden feature to give you leverage
Which shears the end of your tool off & cracks windscreen in mot failure zone.You drive off & get a flat 5 miles up the road, from one of your own screws you missed in the gravel
Not worth the effort, customer gives 3 stars because you had to cone back to finish the job, meaning they missed the dfs sale.
