its nothing to do with vauxhall its the individual dealers, if there run buy pikeys, then you'll get a rubbish service.

vauxhall services aint shit, they use the best parts for your ar, original Gm ones.

my vauxhall dealer is the best around, and i wouldnt go anywhere else

well does anyone know, what my problem might be?
Because i know they will try and sell me shit.

when i bought mine it had a QH belt on...when i replaced it it had only done 6000 miles and was very close to snapping! Also done by vaux. probably didn't change the pulleys.

yeah thats the only reason mine went to vauxhall, was for the cambelt 3weeks afetr i bought the car, had the money knocked off the price of the car too

well ive learnt, allways service it myself now and change cambelt on any new car regardless if they say its been done.

Mine went to vauxhall once, and that was for a cam belt change, had it 2.5years now and done all servicing myself etc. runs well!

i have never taken mine to vaux and never will from some of the syories i've heard. Mine is regularly serviced and book stamped but sod the vaux service history. Means nothin.

yea mate others said that but they have so many get out clauses like 'well the sales man who sold you the car no longer works for vauxhall so we cant verify what the agreement was'

think if my old engine (got a 1.6 fitted now) is no good i might go up one night and dump it on the forecourt with a letter.

by the way it was Wgrose at Queens park parade in northants. aviod like the plague

ohh and by the way they wanted 30quid to inspect if cambelt had sanpped and what needed repairing. all they did was lift bonnet remove cambelt cover. inspection over , apparently needs cylinder head etc total cost ---£1600 :mad:

it amazed me, how they didnt look at it, but they know thats what caused the problem.

so they refused to pay out for repairs and then charged me to tow it home.

basically the sals guy fucking lied to me.

ohh, and youll find it hard to get them to pay out, they will just blame you for 'your kerbing'

pay for it yourself mate, wont cost much but thats about all you can do

Hi :P

Well where do i start!

Bought my 1.7 SRi TDCI Corsa off a dealer with 5500 miles on it! and paid a high price too btw!

Then i drive it back, and the car seems like it needs tracking! and veers very slighty to the left when moving and also veering when i av no hands on the wheel movin!

Well, i thought nevermind, ill get it done on the warranty.. (which is wrong i think now!)

2nd day i had it, i slighty curbed my alloy! (and i mean this was SLIGHT Marking!)

Then after that, the friggin gearknob came off! i mean off completley!

Therefore took it to lookers to get it looked at.

Now the shitty vauxhall part comes in! It took em 2 hours to stick my gearknob on, and then they said they couldnt look at the veering because they didnt av the staff, and would have to be re-booked! so i made a fuss, and then they said - you damaged your wheel which is causing the veering! i mean fucks sake i kurbed at 1 mph! They stated they wouldnt do it for free and something may have been damaged, and it may have been in an RTA or something! Then i took the car to be tracked, as vauxhall wouldnt do it, and yup it was 2mil out - which has been sorted - but not fixed the veering! (I even paid out of my pocket to get it tracked and a full wheel inspection - of which vauxhall wanted my money also)

I mean what d fuck !? The car has never had an accident, and the veering i had before i kurbed the car! Now i dont know what to do, the service is shit and they will charge me for doing work on it, and giving me bullshit left right and centre

what do i do? im well let down with shitty know-it-all vauxhall mechanics!
