Car Troubles Again
Aug. 23rd, 2012 09:29 pmGood news about the computer it was only a glitch, the fan was working normally when Sue's tame computer tech came to look at it. He put ccleaner and an anti- malware program on for me and ran them both, he has even lent me the plug into the wall bit for my charger as I had left mine behind . And all he asked for was his petrol money which he said was £5. I was so thrilled I gave him a ten pound note and refused change.
Now to the bad news and the not so bad news about the car. Some where on one of the 4 motorways I have to use to get here, M42 I think, there was a god almighty Crack as something hit my wind screen to wards th passenger side just on the top of the glass. Nothing seemed wrong so I didn't stop until I got to Sue.
There wasn't a mark on the windscreen and it looked as if I had got away with it. The car sat there over the weekend and Monday as we all went out in Sues dogmobile A small van with built in cages for the dogs to travel in. So it wasn't until Tuesday I got in it again to go look for mosquito repellent in Ramsey. I was driving slowly through some road works when I went over a bump and my windscreen cracked in two places. On getting back I phoned my insurance company to see if it was covered, it wasn't. It's a cheap company and one of the reasons it's cheap is that it doesn't cover the windows. Auto glass quoted me £465 to replace the windscreen with £20 pounds off for payment in advance. Reluctantly I accepted, Oh and we can't do it until next Tuesday. Well I'm my own master and Sue didn't mind if I stayed an extra day so In payed and put the phone down. No sooner had I done so than the phone rang, a friend of Sue's from Obedience school who worked for a delivery firm. Sue was telling her the story and when she said how much Autoglass wanted D said a local firm had replaced a windscreen in one of her firms vans only last week and the bill had been £156 So get in touch with Silver Shield and ask them. So we did. I got a quote of £115 plus tax. I grabbed it. When could they call Tomorrow between 8:30 and 3:00( that was Wednesday.
The man turned up at 8:45 and would have finished by 9:30 had the rubber seal on my old windscreen not broken as he was taking it off and he hadn't got a replacement on the van. He would go ba back to base and get one then to his next appointment the he would be back around 11:30. As good as his word he was back 11:45 and was finished in an hour with tax and the new seal I paid £156. So gentle Beings if you ever need a glass repair and you are in Cambridge remember their name I would recommend them to any one as foolish as I was and does not read the small print.
Needless to say I canceled the appointment with Autoglass and asked for my money back to which they agreed. However the money went into their bank account half an hour after I gave them by details, it is yet to be returned. If I don't get it back by the end of the month I'll set my barrister cousin on them, our Jane writes an evil letter of complaint.
