I thought I would treat the car to a mini-valet and took it and 22 pounds sterling to the American hand car wash in Bournemouth ( well Poole actually).
Somehow the jackasses they employ managed to enter a security code on the computer. How? Simple, a jackass switches on the ignition to move the electric seats then wipes across the computer keyboard and somehow enters a security code.
Result? No engine start, an alarm going every few seconds.
When told what had happened the duty manager said it was nothing to do with him. You take the risks when his workers F*** your car up.
Well it ends up disconnecting the battery for five minutes , then reconnecting , listening to the alarm again then waiting for the fifteen minute countdown before starting it. And of course everything needs to be reset.
The fact that some jackass did the virtually impossible is one thing, the total " I don't care it's completely your problem" attitude of the manager is what gets me.
Needless to say I won't be going back.
Just when you think that things and people can't get any worse you come across a p**** like that manager.
I f*rt in his genereal direction.
