What a shame that it wasn't the business (Le Garage..merde) itself that was burned down. Advice to all ED car owners. Never take your car there to be repaired or maintained!!


I stupidly had some work done at the garage recently. On going to pick up my vehicle I was informed that the garage owner had taken the car for a test drive. I asked his son if he could phone him...to be told the phone had been cut off and the owner had gone to pay the bill..in my car!! The car was returned to the garage three hours later..minus thirty pounds worth of petrol..missing in action I presume!


The owner had clearly used the car for his own personal business from Friday to Monday. Outrageous.


I was then presented with a bill for ?375.00 for work carried out. I asked for a receipt for parts that had been (allegedly) fitted. He was unable to produce them claiming they were second hand from a breakers yard and had been paid for in cash. he cited that the yard was situated on Ilderton Road. I subsequently visited every breakers yard in that vicinity. No Mercedes parts had been sold in the past week. There had also been no Mercedes broken up at any establishment I visited in the last six months!


I asked the owner to produce the part that he had replaced. He rattled around, made a few metal against metal noises and told me it had been recycled!! Yeah right...along with the cloth and polish he'd used to clean up the original part.


Called the police...told a matter for Trading Standards..or why not try the C.A.B!!


He parked my car in the premises and informed me that I would be charged ?50.00 per day for storage until I paid the bill. Over a barrell! I knocked him down to ?240.00...with spit on my shoes as a receipt.


Please, the man is a rogue, a scheister and a charlatan. Do not patronise this business!

absolutely! Check your smoke alarms and replace the batteries if need be. If anyone wants more specific advice on top of calling the LFB number above then please PM me (I'm a fire officer).


To put things into perspective, fires like this are thankfully rare. Just take some simple precautions and stay safe folks.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
