Blithering Incompetents
Do not; I repeat “do not” allow this garage anywhere near your vehicle.
I messed up while doing some work on my Mitsubishi ASX and knocked out half of the electronics when I plugged something into the wrong socket. Multiple system failures and erroneous warnings followed. Time to stop and get a properly equipped garage on the case. CGE’s website looked convincing so I went ahead with a booking.
Day after delivering the car I received a strange ‘phone call asking me what I knew about reverse power in the electrics, then several days later I spotted my car parked up outside their workshop after they'd told me they were still working on it. Now I checked them out on Trustpilot - oh no! (I’m assuming you're reading this on Trustpilot’s website, so know what I mean).
I called them and requested they stop all work, I’d pick the car up regardless of state. Thankfully they agreed and I arranged a rescue truck to take the car direct to the area’s main Mitsubishi dealer; Station Garage in Torphins. Next morning Station called me to say they’d fixed it! What??? Yes, it was down to a couple of blown fuses, took less than two hours to diagnose and fix. But then they asked if I’d be putting all the bits back myself? What bits? Station said it was delivered to them with numerous bits of equipment and interior trim strewn around the interior. CGE had left it like that, but why would they dismantle it like that in the first place. This had nothing to do with diagnosing the electrics - that should be done with a suitable diagnostic computer and a competent technician understanding the results. Dismantling the dashboard and various bits of trim was the work of a blithering incompetent who had neither the equipment or know-how to diagnose such a fault. I wouldn’t trust CGE now to fix a puncture. Fingers burned, bank account hammered and lesson learned!
