Car dealerships charge an arm and a leg for servicing during warranty
Now that a warranty is still valid when a service is done elsewhere, they have lost a big source of revenue - suppose more dealerships will go to the wall too - I'm not sorry (greedy barstewards) |
Re: The end of an era
wasnt exactly the ideal place to have a car dealership with all polution in a residential area lets hope they build much needed houses to bring house prices in the area down and to families only .not the greedy rip off letting agencies which have sprung up to exploit the recent housing situation..

Do you remember when it became a garage? was it Walkers?
|
Re: The end of an era
It was something else before Walkers. Did it have something to do with Frasers? Whatever it was I think Walkers went into partnership.

It used to be Hindle and Walker, then Walker Farrimond, think My dad used to work for a Jack there, was sacked cause he was late.

Re: The end of an era
That was the one, thought something didn't seem right when I typed it

Re: The end of an era
Hindle! That's the one. Thanks Grego. Walkers went into partnership with Hindle's and then Hindle and Walker went into partnership with Farrimond and the Hindle name was dropped. Don't know why I thought it had some Fraser connection.
