Sorry to hear that. People have mentioned that to me before and i had an IT company check it out and they tell me that there is no way that can happen unless the email address you put in the form is spelt incorrectly.
I think i'll put up a direct email address on our contact page so there is an option. I have Sean here to deal with all enquiries so realistically you should get a response within one day.
You can always call me, email me directly, send me a PM, send me a facebook message, contact through Instagram, or come to my front door and ask questions you may have.

Just be aware, you'll receive exponentially higher amounts of spam every week after doing this. There are literally automated processes out there that crawl web sites looking for email addresses to add to spam mailing lists.

I used these guys several times in the past but stopped when an unusual coincidence occurred.
I took 2 cars to them one was a euro the other a jap car they both went in within a fortnight and a few weeks later both had power steering issues.
Both leaking/spraying power steering fluid from pin sized holes in the lines.
I didn't bother asking them to check it out, just replaced the hoses myself and left it at that.

Yeah this is true, a contact form with a Google Captcha is best practice.

Chances are there's no issue with the process and the emails are goi g I to someone's spam folder.

Thanks Peter I will take my business elsewhere.

FYI, if you want work done at Advan make sure there is no MISCOMMUNICATION , because there seems to be a lot of that at his workshop.

Well truth be told guys they are not, they fail like anything else the electronics can be a nightmare.
So when something goes wrong who do you blame the MECHANIC, there is no misscommunication here its just one party wont listen.
When i know its not us i will say so, if it was us i am always happy to sort it out.
My customers that know me well, know i am a fair Business person and will go out of my way to help, sometimes a long way.
In your case you are a very rude person who wont listen or even try to understand what actuality goes on with your car.
If you cant find another shop that can help, you are always welcome back
Good luck
regards Peter
