Morning. I got an early jog in while it was dry. Getting a bit blustery and drizzly now. Just dropped car in for MOT and service. Thought the tread on the front tyres was a bit low when I was washing it the other day so not sure if they will make it through or if I’ll need a couple of new ones.It's wet, windy and miserable looking..
and that's just me
Good morning

As long as it isn't AClark who do your MOT..
I know someone who got an ridiculous advisory for their tyre depth...
but there was plenty of wear left before they needed to be replaced..
We've bought cars from them but don't let them near anything and I still get courtesy calls reminding me of everything..
I have my MOT report next Monday
no jokes please

No, local independent. Like you, last couple of cars have been from Arnold Clark but won’t use them for anything else.As long as it isn't AClark who do your MOT..

I enjoy the bants when we go to buy a car..
I was told by someone in the trade.
look at who their nearest rival is and note the company they deal and the equivalent model of what you really want to buy..
at some point throw in that it is a toss up between their car and this other model..
but you haven't been to them as they seemed to be busy..
but as they are across the road..
works a treat...
after i get the 'practically giving it away etc etc'
I ask for a piece of paper and pen..then shove across the price I'm willing to pay then let Mrs M negociate the extras....
'I'll have to see the manager'..
99% of the time apparently they okay it....

& the "I'll have to see the manager" is 99% of the time a bare faced con ! It's a really old trick (for anyone not aware) where Mr Salesbody goes off & has a laugh with someone at your expense for a few minutes *they know their margins & best price already unless it's a spotty junior trainee*. The very same trick is used by window/conservatory & kitchen salesman etc where they excuse themselves to "go out & phone the manager" but instead go out have a fag & make a fake call to nobody while secretly laughing about you.
Having done the door to door British Gas sales & Virgin Media sales gig you get to know some interesting stuff.
