Sorry for shouting in the title but the excellent service I received from Dawid at Leelac SAAB (
http://parts.leelac.com/) is worth shouting about.
For those who have read my previous threads about my new (to me) 95 you will know the predicament I was in. I had a car which would not start, a flat battery, no roadside recovery and the car was parked in an underground carpark with height restriction.
After calling an autodiagnostics guy out who used a 'tech2' on the car which wouldn't connect I decided to bite the bullet and get the car recovered to a SAAB specialist (LEELAC SAAB). I rang Dawid and he said he could look at the car if I got it recovered to him. So, I started ringing around for quotes for recovery. Most declined to recover it due to the height restriction and one said it would be £350+VAT !!
I rang Dawid back and explained it all, to which he replied that he would come out to me. He arrived after work at 18:00, charged the battery and put the car on Tech2 (which communicated immediately - so not sure what the other guy was doing/using). He pulled out a DIC from his car put it in and the car started immediately.
All in he charged me £130 (Callout, diagnostics, labour and the DIC). He didn't try and rip me off despite my rather vulnerable postion and was just a thoroughly nice guy. He even said that the DIC wasn't a 'certified' one but it was all he had to hand but if I pop down to his garage he will put in a certified one and I can keep the one he put in as a spare.
TOP, TOP, GUY !!!
I know where I will be having my car serviced from now on.
