CAR HELP - please

Oryx
By Oryx

When I am waiting at traffic lights for example sometimes my car cuts out completely.
It takes a few tries before it will start up and this is scary if it happens on C ring or somewhere.
Now a friend told me it may be the fuel pump. It is a Renault Clio

does anyone please please know a garage that
a) will do an honest job
b) may pick up from somewhere mututally convenient like Salwa Road or C ring? (I only went to the Industrial Area once and it was not my best experience)

Kind Thanks
Oryx

Orix - I only trust Dealer for any problem other than getting tiny accidents fixed. May be a bit expensive but you know you are getting the right thing.

yes charan

also a friend over the weekend told me his friend took his car to get fixed at a garage....

later on he took it for service at the dealer.....

and the dealer was aghast.. the garage had stripped his engine of good parts and put in cheap nasty ones!!!

Orix _ My friend owns a Renault Megan 2006. He also droped it in Salwa Road when he met with an accident. They return the car in 1 week. they are quite organized and efficient.

If you want my honest opinion go to Renault dealer. I can arrange him to come and see it in your office if you want.

Charan - he can take the thing... I work on C ring road near gulf cinema... really easy to find... between 8am and 1pm

can get a lift in/out with colleagues... not an issue - just do not want to go to the black hole of the industrial area....

or do you think I should send it to Renault dealer?

Orix - I can ask him to come to your house or any other place to check the problem

Orix - My advise is not to mess with your car and give it to the service agents. I think it is under warranty. right. If you want I can drive the car to the agents or send somebody for you.

Orix - I know somebody who has the connections to solve your all problems but I don't know he is still in here. I will make some phone calls and contact you back.

Yes - do you know a good one?

Word of mouth recommendation via QL is plan A

plan B is the dealer.

Also I need some scratches painting over and it needs to go somewhere in the industrial area for that too.

Orix - Do you want to get a private mechanic to fix the problem.

By Oryx• 30 Sep 2007 08:32

Because it is in the industrial area....Chitty!

They are very nice and I will call them if I get no luck with advice here.

Orix - why don't you go to the renault agent.

By Oryx• 30 Sep 2007 08:19
