THIS is a copy of a reply I wrote to a thread I saw in "Zeds For Sale". Suddenly thought it might make for intersting comment if listed in "Z Related"... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ZED REPAIR CENTRES... MAYBE we should all start reassessing the features our cars have that make them such advanced GT cars...after all, the technology and driveability of the Zed make it an exceptional purchase compared with the average Common-door, etc, out there. Only problem, which we all know, is the difficulty of repair when something goes wrong. And being that most are around 16yrs old, the comparison with an equivalent 16yr vehicle still leaves us well in front!! Maybe we should start up a chain of dedicated ZED Repair Centres, with franchises in each State, run by hand-picked (Zed) mechanics who know what they are doing and charge honestly and fairly...!! Surely there are some monied people out there who love these cars for what they are and, like specialised dedicated workshops in, say, Britain who devote themselves to maintaining, re-building, etc, specialist makes, could make such a business work. With proper organisation and fair wages, the Centres could possibly be run as non-profit workshops (other than to allow for purchase of new equipment, etc).After all, we have all been ripped off by some existing workshops, and it would be quite refreshing to know you could take your car to a shop knowing the guys running it are virtually the same guys whose cars you cruise with and talk to on the forum...!! Man, I would willingly give my time (OK, I'm retired...which helps, but I wouldn't need wages!!) to spend time helping out around a workshop full of Zeds....I reckon we might all be surprised just what degree of business we would attract when guys KNOW they will NOT be ripped off...Sort of like a Permanent Tech Day...!!! Just a thought... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Last edited by mikemd : 20-10-2006 at 08:19 PM. Reason: No title entered... *
stirling idea my man!, but you had better put the flame suit on because your going to get the "you bloody commie" comments, by all the "righteous" existing businesses that deal with Zeds, you'd be taking away their moneymakers, they can pretty much charge what they like and they like that, oh yeah, come in spinner, anyway i reckon it's a great idea, and because the z32 population is relatively small, maybe specialising in z32's and encompassing all Z's ?? cheers
