Maxxd.com Forums

I thought it would be a good idea to list the car related retailers that we've had good experiences of. I know that some of you will disagree on certain shops, so I want to put that in as well. We've had so many posts where everyone recommends a list of places for a product, so i thought we should put them all together. If you've had a good experience with a shop, i want to put you down as a reference & the same for bad.

for example (made up non-car related)

clearly it will take a while to set up, but everyone can post in the thread & the list can be updated whenever someone does. If the list is kept at the start of the thread, you have a good reference point for member recommended services. it could cover insurance, ICE, MOT, tires, tuning, whatever catagories you want to recommend.
what's everyones thoughts? waste of time or good idea?

ps - this does not replace the maxxd directory.

this is for retailers YOU HAVE USED

Be a good idea not for me but for people who just signed up and got there first car ideal to know where to look.

And plus can't find a decent Indian take away lol

that's what i thought, but then i thought about back up.....

I use 2 people for MOTs. What if they're both unavailable?
I wouldn't know where to turn.

back up is good actually,as I've Been told Scott not doing mots atm so I don't know who trust

Good idea!

Want a good sandwich?

Try AJ's!

Next to pecks hill garage in mansfield, near sherwood hall school!!

Their chicken mayo is the shit!!!

sounds like a good idea to me

everyone seems to like the idea, shame there's only 5 people interested one way or the other! lol

sounds cool to me...

top idea

suppose on the other hand if you have had shit service or work done why dont we name and shame them?

Yup, true stuff!

I'd reccomend aj's off topic( didn't she get locked up for kicking somone in the owner that is)

i think it would do that. they'd have loads of names against the 'problems' line & none against the 'recommended' I suppose.

Name and shaming is a risky idea..

We have a "Fake sellers list" on SSDB and i have been threatened with court action many MANY times

The only reason i haven't been sued to fcuk is becasue most of them live in USA or china, and court action across countries is a pain in the bum

this wouldn't be like that though, be more of a "I've had a problem".

I'd hope the posts following the list, at the start of the thread, would justify why a place is good or bad.

for example......

or

get the idea?
