Watch out - Workmen about - Falkirk Bairn
Just had a note from my youngest boy - less than 1 yr old car parked at work on Friday - car park next door being relaid (unknown to him as he gets in at 7 am). Due to high winds the "grit and pink fluffy dice" form the relay has covered his and 20 other cars. The bill will be substantial.

Earlier this year eldest son's car parked at worl when somone decided to cut some pipes in the basement - he is now haviong windscreen, backscrenn & 2 x side windows repon inusrance claim. His wife's carw as washed at aMian dealere by the 16yr odl Saturday boy after getting a warrnty repair - this required a re-spray of roof, boot & one side.

A bit of thought could ahve saved £000's in just 3 cases

Outcome of compalint re Car Park Grit covering cars

Owner of carpark agreed to clean cars thoroughly and allocated 1 hour for team of car cleaners to come to car park - absolute waste of time - one owner got his car back and not only was the body not clean they had not even managed to get the flies off the number plate.

My son booked his car - along with another 6-8 into a reputable valet company - magic but at a cost of £250 each + Super Polish for an RS4 & S8 took the bill to nearly £550 each.

So much for saving money by getting a carp[ark relaid on a Friday to save Overtime paymenst on a Saturday.
