26th March 2014 - Things that go bump in a Car Park

Another day starts and we have had a conversation with the nice people with the chevrolet with a chip in the paintwork. We have agreed that the first price of over £500 is a little excessive and in fairness to them they have found another body work specialist who, they say, will be able to do the work for £130 - which is a lot better ...

Having talked with the artisan, it appears that his suggestion that he fills the chip and then blends some paint into the rest so it cannot be seen - particularly as it is in a dip on the bodywork, has not been accepted by the owner who feels that the whole bumper should be re-sprayed  at the increased cost rather than a cash payment of £90 - which sound a lot better to me.

Mr Painter is not VAT registered so there is not real advantage to the offer of cash and he is adamant that he does not have room to negotiate - the cost of paint being as it is - so it is just down to chatting with the owner and suggesting that the preferred option of the painter is followed...

The saga continues...

But across in the Plotment - Spring is starting to flower...   and that is enough to lift the spirits...  yellow and white primroses I think (certainly not purple sprouting broccoli )

And some other stuff...
