IDIOT SIGHTING
When my husband and I arrived at our local Ford dealer to pick up our
Car, we were told the keys had been locked in it. We went to the
Service Department and found a mechanic working feverishly to unlock
the Driver's door.
As I watched from the passenger side, I instinctively tried the door
Handle and discovered that it was unlocked.
'Hey,' I announced to the Fitter/Mechanic, 'its open!'
His reply: 'I know. I already did that side.'

This was at the Ford dealership in St Albans , Hertfordshire.

STAY ALERT!
They walk among us.

If that's Evans Halshaw, nothing surprises me. (I used to deliver and collect cars from several of their places. I was never very impressed by the quality of their staff!)
How do you confuse an Evans Halshaw mechanic - put him in a barrel and tell him to pizz in the corner.


An auto mechanic received a repair order from the Evans Halshaw service manager that said to check for a clunking noise when going around corners.

He took the car out for a test drive and made two right turns, each time hearing a loud clunk. Back at the shop, he returned the car to the Ford service manager with this note: "Removed bowling ball from trunk."
I have rumbled you Jemisa by the way

have you had a bad experience with that garage? why else have you made up this nonsense that it happened to you?

you havent even rewritten it...haha
The blonde rang the garage and asked if they could send a mechanic as she had locked the keys in the car. "Is it urgent", asked the garage. "Well yes" replied the blonde, "It's starting to rain and I need to close the windows"
I think Jemisa's having a laugh at our expense. No employee could be that thick, although on reflection...
Jemisa likes to regurgitate ancient spam...

intriguing that DT's anecdote from Evans Halshaw includes a trunk. Perhaps they ride elephants in that part of the world?

jem
...so it's not the Joke section, jem....
Not very funny if you work for EH St albans.........
gosh.. are we all neighbours?
mmm...nope its the motoring section...i smell backtracking due to being found out...haha
I read the joke as there was no need for the fitter to unlock a second door - just pick up the keys. Never mind Jem - it made me smile ☺
I know its a joke but I have to use Evans Halshaw for servicing my company car. Last time it was in for service I drove off it was seriously lacking in power drove round the block went back.Three of us looking under the bonnet service manager mechanic who'd serviced it and me. I said shouldn't that plug be connected to something a couple of red faces job done and I know very little about cars!!!
