Cinch - our experience

[Vapin' Joe]

Rylan, the bloke with the shiny teeth, a reality 'star' on Radio 2 these days

An out and out Mockney. If you spoke like that in Essex or east London you'd either be laughed at or cop one in the teeth for taking the piss.

To be fair, he was born in Stepney, grew up in Essex, went to school in Upminster. He's camp Essex to be fair

And if the daft name and put-on accent isnt enough, he clearly dyes his beard. Thats the sign of a bad 'un if ever there was.

Have you heard his mum! His accent is genuine!
He’s also been dying his hair & beard for years, he’s naturally ginger.

Oh my lord!

Told you, a bad 'un.

He went to Coopers Company and Coburn school in Upminster, a school that only the highest achievers gain entry to. Any heavy cockney accent would have disappeared during his time there, not that I believe he ever had one like that. I spent forty years in east London and Essex, I can tell a genuine accent from one that's clearly put on.

 

[Drago]

Ah, that'll be where he had the beard dye lessons.

I test drove a Suzuki Jimny van from Cinch. It was more exploratory to see if I like the vehicle. I didn't buy the vehicle(obviously), and wouldn't, it was showing signs of being stood for months with mould spots in the rear loading area.

we've just heard back from Cinch with an update on our car. it needs a new clutch and flywheel, so the parts are arriving on Tuesday and the Audi garage will try and do the job same day. They've probably lost a bit on their profit margin but they'd have to do the work anyway to resell it

Now they know why the previous owner wanted shot of it.

Mrs D onde found a Facebook page for people who had traded on cars with faults, many quite serious, who had then found them for sale at a dealer elsewhere and to earn prospective purchasers. Some examples were quite frightening.

Just thought I'd update this for completeness. Last week we reported a funny noise with the car (after having it for 7 days), and they booked it in to the Audi garage. We have picked it up today, and they've fitted a new clutch, flywheel and bearing under warranty. They would have done it sooner but has to wait a few days for parts. We also pointed out that a USB charging point in the arm rest did not work, which they forgot to do, but Cinch have also approved them to do the work so we've got to take it back on Monday and they will fix it whilst we wait.

So, a £1500 (at least) job done under warranty with no quibbles, we're pleased so far with the service.

To be fair, it wasn't making a noise in the first few days we were driving it. And it also didn't make the noise when we put it in the garage, but luckily I had taken a video. So it might not have been apparent when it was bought/supplied to us, as the clutch still worked fine and there were no EMLs on
