ORDERED SOME PARTS FROM MIDLAND SCOOTER CENTRE IN STAPLEFORD NOTTINGHAM NG9 8GG.
THE OWNER WHO'S NAME IS DAVE WAS A BIT TO KEAN TO PICK UP MY BIKE WHEN I TOLD HIM I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY IMMOBILIZER AND IGNITION.
I ASKED DAVE IF HE COULD GIVE ME A PRICE AS I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE JOB WAS WITHIN MY PRICE RANGE.
AS HE KEPT MAKING ESTIMATE PRICES AND GUESSING TO WHAT THE PRICE MAYBE, SO I BELIVED RAN A GOOD COMPANY AS HE WAS DOING A PROMOTION AT MY PLACE OF WORK I SPOKE TO HIS WIFE WHO IS A LOVELY PERSON FELT AN ARRANGEMENT COULD BE MADE TO GET MY BIKE BACK ON THE ROAD SO DAVE COLLECTED MY BIKE TO SEE WHAT WORK NEEDED DOING HE TOOK MY BIKE TO HIS SHOW ROOM. WHERE I WAS EXPECTING TO GET A PRICE. DAVE STARTED WORK STRAIGHT AWAY WITH OUT CONSULTING ME.
I GAVE NO AUTHORIZATION FOR MY MOTOR BIKE TO BE WORKED ON.
DAVE MADE NUMEROUS CALLS CONFIRMING WHAT REGISTRATION MY BIKE WAS AND WHAT THE VEHICLE CHASSIS NUMBER WAS.
SO WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION HE WAS STILL FINDING OUT THE PRICE. SO I WENT DOWN TO THE SCOOTER CENTRE TO SEE THE PROGRESS ON MY BIKE AND NOTICED I HAD NEW PARTS FITTED, AND BECAUSE I TURNED UP UNANNOUNCED.
DAVE WAS UNHAPPY THAT I COURT HIM OFF GUARD HE STARTED BLAMED ME THAT PARTS HE HAD ORDERED WAS WRONG BECAUSE MY BIKE HAD A different PANEL THEN OTHER 2007 BIKES.
AND THE INFORMATION I CONFIRMED TO HIM WAS WRONG.
WHICH JUST HIGHLIGHTED TO ME HOW INCOMPETENT HE IS.
FROM DAVE'S RANTING I UNDERSTOOD THIS AS A FOBBING OFF TO EXTORT MONEY FROM ME.
SO I CONFIRMED THAT I NEEDED A PRICE HE UNLEASHED A INVOICE THAT KNOCKED ME FOR SIX £406.00
NOW FROM THE START ALL I WANTED WAS PARTS THAT WAS COSTING ME NO MORE THEN £35.00 TOPS.
AND A PRICE FOR A LOCK SET IGNITION AND IMMOBILIZER AS I WAS GOING TO FIT THE PARTS MYSELF.
DAVE OWNER /DIRECTOR OF MIDLAND SCOOTERS CENTRE HAS PRODUCED AN INVOICE FOR WORK I DID NOT AUTHORIZE. HE STATED AFTER HAVING THE BIKE FOR 5 DAYS THAT I NOW HAD ENGINE PROBLEMS AND HE WAS NOT GOING TO FIX IT. AND WILL BE REMOVING ALL THE PARTS I ORDERED, UNDOING THE WORK I DID NOT AUTHORIZE. HE ADVISED ME TO PAY TRANSPORT COSTS AND LABOUR. HE HAS REFUSED TO RETURN MY BIKE UNLESS PAYMENT IS MADE. HE HAS ALSO REFUSED TO SELL ME THE PARTS I WANTED. AND REFUSED TO RETURN MY BIKE TO MY FAMILY HOME. HE STATED I MUST MAKE MY OWN ARRANGEMENTS TO GET MY BIKE BACK AS THIS TRANSACTION HAS NOT GONE THE WAY HE WANTED. I FEEL HE SHOULD HAVE CONTACTED ME TO GIVE ME AN AGREED PRICE. SO I COULD SAY YES START WORK OR NO DON'T START. UPON LEAVING MY BIKE AT THE WORK SHOP AS HE WOULD NOT GIVE ME MY BIKE NOTICED SOME EXTRA SCRATCHES WHICH HE WELL NOT OWE UPTO. DAVE THE OWNER OF MIDLAND SCOOTER CENTRE IS A UNPROFESSIONAL BLAGGER AND A RIP OFF MERCHANT I WANT MY BIKE BACK WITH NO EXTRA DAMAGE. AND AS HE COLLECTED IT HE SHOULD RETURN IT, TRADING STANDARDS ARE AWARE AND HAVE STATED I MUST START A PAPER TRAIL ..
