Our thoughts go out to Blair and staff at Hillside Auto Wreckers this evening. They had a devastating fire at their premises this afternoon. They have been my one and only second-hand auto wreckers for over 20 years. Always cheerful and helpful to the maximum. And they are dog lovers and loved seeing Nova and heavenly Luka when we visited. Glad that there were no injuries and Blair and staff are safe.

Hi to all my loyal clients.
Well the issue we were having with Continental BMW here in Wellington seems to be at an end. Everything seems to have come to a halt, with Continental BMW still not accepting any responsibility and still blaming my installation of the security camera. BUT the vehicle involved was miraculously repaired within a two hour period at no further costs to my customer. These large dealerships are just a pack of lying money making companies. I`ve, since I first posted this, have had many unbelievable stories relayed to me regarding many various dealerships. We have even had our own an experience with Gazleys charging just over $640 for a service on my partners MG which took less than two hours. The list of what they done and checked was as long as my bloody arm and could not have been completed in that time. And they said the rear right hand side fog light needs replacing at $340. The bloody light operates ok, no cracks, no faded lens??? WTF. I`m an an auto sparky!!! DUH! So all out there be aware

Hi all, my friends and loyal customers. Just a quick and small and secretive update (yeah right Facebook!!! LOL) on what`s going on with the issues with my business and workmanship with Continental BMW. I have to be cautious here as it could be on-going!!! Yesterday my representative and owner of the BMW had a meeting with you know who. ME 1 - BMW 0

Hi all. Thanks so much to all my loyal clients for all your kind support and words over this issue. You really have perked me up big time. After what happened yesterday I was just going to give in and say f**k to all this s**t and pay whatever BMW were saying they were owed and going to be owed to take the easy way out. My client, I have to let you know is backing me 100%. He is a new client but has heard about my workmanship and professionalism. But last night I thought long and hard about my situation and thought NO WAY are these idiots at BMW going to get me down or away with it. I really even started to doubt my business and workmanship. The showdown starts tomorrow!!! I am ramped up and ready for battle!!! Bring it on!

I`ve been in business for over 35 years now. I`m an honest business owner that has NEVER ripped off any customer of mine and never had any problem with a customer over an invoice/overcharging or work that I have completed. IN 35 YEARS!!!
But now all of a sudden I`m being blamed for certain faults on certain cars. BYD in Lower Hutt who are Brendan Foot Motors in Lower Hutt last year accused my installation of a security camera was causing the electric car to break down, the client could not get the vehicle out of the PARK position. They said the aftermarket camera is the issue. I removed the camera at their request and boom the car broke down again at Wellington Airport, same fault. After more enquiries from my client the fault was not me at all but a faulty transmission computer. F**k BYD and Brendan Foot Motors. They ducked under the covers and no apology to me.
Now BMW here has accused my installation of another security camera has caused all of my clients footwell lights to not operate citing my installation has caused voltage drop in the circuit. My installation was straight to the fusebox and the only wiring is straight to the camera about 12 inches. They have said this is causing the voltage drop to the lighting.. When I questioned the service manager about how my installation has caused this, he passed the blame diagnosis onto his technician who was working on the vehicle. Would`nt you think the service manager, Storm would be in the know about what`s going on? DUH! I work on hundreds of BRAND NEW electric vehicles for some big companies here in Wellington including Wellington City Council, Transpower, Contact Energy, Meridain Energy, Plunket, IHC New Zealand, etc and had NOT one complaint on installing aftermarket devices. F**k intercontinental BMW as well. If they prove I am at fault I will accept no problems but I really think these BIG companies think they can BULLY us small guys. Absolutely disgraceful

Continuing with the classic car theme. Thanks to one of my regular customers in entrusting me to install a full security system into his 1973 HQ Holden, recently had a full paint job and rebuild. One very smart looking car!
