Re: JTM again!
Hi Mike0800,
Can you explain why l read in the ERT Magazine 11/03/11 that LG have a done deal with D&G which includes all warranty matters and they also have quoted that Service will be done by thier D&G service network… Makes you think dont it!! So the question is… Are LG gonna use two work providers, in my experience l dont think so, its gonna go to the D&G engineers Good news for those engineers….l too would like to thank everyone at WTA for a very successful meeting which was very informative and look forward to the next one..Thanks again..
Yeah Expertcat
l tried to find some info on wot contract they have lost on Friday but everybody l spoke to did not seem to do work for JTM and they have never sent us work for LG dont why ,probably coz l upset em at some time in da past… Yeah Lawrence l did notice the exquisite cut of the shirt Quinto was wearing but l cannot afford the 25grand to get the van and the shirt… Hey l wonder where he keeps the Screwdriver!!!!No Gandh1
Baumatic are the pitts They must have all the info at thier finger tips but seems to me ..its just too much trouble to check a part!! Wot next.. l bet they check their wages and if theres a mistake l wonder what happens !!!! And there are dealers selling this Junk…The mind bogglesSpanner51
No l think its OK to do the work but be wary on payments and also spares returns You must have the balls to stop work if your not being paid properly and its very hard to have that policy when your getting work from work providers and having to pay your Engineers… Remember l had these problems with Candy and Zanussi many years ago so l am very cautious about these big firms ditating the action Hope l have not been too negative on JTM but these work providers have got to realise that Engineers have to paid in a right and proper mannerYes Spanner51… You get charged for all spares and this is contra against all the invoice for that month but remember the parts sent can be so long time coming that the retailer such as Argos have had so much flak from the customer and had to exchange appliance then the invoice for the said spare has to be credited in the course of the close down…This where you have to be on the spot checking and double checking to get payments in a proper business like manner
Very interesting comments Jediknight…l would love to know what the major client is? With the situation as it is,l have to put them on Credit stop most months,it tends to focus thier minds in the call centers to get the monies for the months work also we always have had to wait approx 2months for payments …l would like to say that in all the years l have been doing service work for different compaines since the sixties l have never put a client on credit stop its unbelievable that this policy has been introduced by myself and the company…Just imagine if l had Engineers to pay it just aint gonna work because of the uncertainty of being paid by what is considered a professional work provider
There’s some redundancies within JTM also although we now do jobs in area piles its still a bit dodgy….. l am sticking with it at the mo, but make sure you get the parts back for credit if the jobs are closed down as they dont tell you..you have to find out!!! also l have noticed that we get all the c**p jobs and not the nice easy ones where l dont have to put the brain in gear , the easy jobs seem to go to the 0800 lads Another interesting fact is that Haier are gonna sell to the indepdants and the servicing will be done by JTM They have bin asking questions what we do and what we dont.. hmm!!
Hey Guys
This company Maintainance Direct are great to work for We have had no problems for approx 3-4 years again..As Robbra comments about the the parts issues ,we have had none of those..Believe me ….Baumatic products are junk… l repair them when pushed Gosh l dont know anyone who would sell these products and chance the reputation of thier companies Yeah your right most of the c**p is from China …. its getting worst by the day and another point ..Have you ever tried getting the correct parts from Baumatic Its a Joke!!!
l worked for Comet from ’74 to ’79 and it was a great time.. The DA guys were some of the best What a shame its going the way its going… Bristol was always top of the service heap coz we was good!! also the products we worked on were the dreaded Newpol 75,Hey wot a machine Bearing changes 2hours in the depot heap of rubbish…never changed one in the house absolute pig of a job,,,but it kept me in a job with nice estate car…l wonder what the young guns would cope working on such junk Make you think dont it!!…..but somehow Comet held on to their engineers coz it was a great company to work for…
Yeah Jim
l only see the tat when l get the call to repair but what is quite alarming the Name Russell Hobbs they used be a great name in our industry now look wots happened!!!
The one l had to look at was under 1 month old so wether this was old stock one will never know …….l’m getting too old for this trade but l need da money Trust me l am trying to keep up!!!!Hey Have you seen the Russell Hobs branded W/Machines out of ASDA its either a Vestel or a Haier!!!! Also most Argos Branded Homa on da Refrigerator products and Vestel on da Washing Machines.. Bearing Changes oops.. sorry not worth doing Chuck it!!
Oh dear dear… looks like lee8 and myself have the same thoughts on Connect, are they Plonkers!!!!! or am l out of touch now…Hey dont you just love this trade!!
Yes Sparrowhawk We have noticed and now collate the calls accordingly so the calls are going to get delayed… they must remember that fuel costs are now sky high and most contractors are having to pay very high costs per job… Although they treat me like an out of work homosexual l must be their most loyal contractor l really dont why l do it but there you go …i’m still sticking with it!!!! l wonder how the 0800 boys are managing??
