Re: The Future…….. is there one for this industry.
yeh eh …
what he said ! .
also if we have to sell cheap rubbish due to demand manufacturers- sheds should be made to offer at least 5 year warrantys – and guarantee there is a service network to look after the appliance …
maybe if the goverment forced them to pay a decent repair rate – they would stop selling crap ,
ohhh wait a minute thats my alarm clock going off
oh well back to sleep …

Re: DSG/RepairCare Rate Cuts

Re: DSG/RepairCare Rate Cuts

It is right. We Service Force agents terminated at £37.20 for electric & £55 gas, plus a 5{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} patrs mark-up.that seemed like a not to bad fee considering all things … who was offering this and when ???

Re: DSG/RepairCare Rate Cuts
so why were they their …
was it an ego trip – facing their angry agents ?
was it to see if their was a revolt brewing ?
did they think by showing up they somehow gained sympathy and understanding ?
personaly i cant understand , a perfect opertunity to explain the situ .
maybe they thought spin just wouldnt cut it with some of the industry,s biggest hitters in the roomfb

Re: contracts
sorry mate , they are no longer in buis used to run servis network ..
i was kinda meaning you wont earn anything form jtm – just headache – and stress on a new level …
but each to their own , their are agents on here who make money of jtm , and plenty who wouldnt touch them ..
personally we had a night mare with them .. we always seemed to have a parts balance bigger than any labour we invoiced for …
this was due to ordering a pcb and motor for say a haire wm..
motor would arrive say about 15th month … parts inv due at the end ..
motor £111.00 ..pcb would take about another 8 weeks to arrive .. so weve now paid for £111.00 motor ..roughly about 3 labour fees ..
pcb arrives £100, customer since got excahnge – nobody bothers to inform you..
another £100 quid comes of you acount ..
so by this time jtm have debited you with about £211 …lets say about 8 labour fees … so you have ran about doing 8 jobs for nothing ..
then theirs the whole different nightmare of getting a credit …for the spares you no longer require ..
now if this was happening every other job – which it will cos you mostly dealing with lost end cr&&&p haire etc you can see quite quickly where it will lead ….
thousands of pounds tied up in spare account .. and you playing catch up ..
we had i full time staff member dealing with jtm – stil couldnt make it work ..
thats just my take on it … we gave it a go as quinto from servis moved to them and asked us if we were intrested ,we used to deal with him @ servis and he was good to deal with ..
as i said there agents on ukw who will have good things to say ,
my advice to you is try it for a couple of months .. see where it goes
please let u know the outcome ??
