Emma has been in seventh heaven today, having come after work to help us out she noticed her old car make was in the garage. It had been in for a service and was waiting to be collected. She’s been reminiscing about how much she misses that car and how meeting me changed all her priorities! She did try and have a sit in it, but we told her to hold her horses!!
Welcome to 2019
Its been a while since we have posted, but we have been enjoying the festive period.
Although the garage was open for shorter hours over the Christmas period we didn’t get chance to put hand to keyboard!
Today sees the first week of 2019 complete. We can’t believe it, since taking over the time has just flown by and thankfully our enthusiasm for the business has not dwindled. We are both enjoying it more than ever. Emma is getting to know our customers, no longer is it just me that walks up Penarth town saying hello to others. In fact on occasions she notices you before I do!
In addition to our enthusiasm, we would also like to let you know that we are members of Trust My Garage - so if you could go to their website https://www.trustmygarage.co.uk/ and leave a review we would be grateful.
Another exciting day
Today marks a new era, we finally have our own signage.
The weather may be miserable and the skies grey, but its certainly not dull over here in Grove Terrace at Glamorgan Motors. We have a new sign!!! It covers the front of the building, its bright and vibrant. I think people will definitely notice us.
Our thanks goes to SSW Signs Services Limited for their great service as always.
Rolling back the years
For the last couple of weeks we have been wondering if we are on the set of Men from Mars and if Gene Hunt is going to rock up. A customer has brought in a Capri for us to restore back to new.
It has brought back memories for customers - it was their first car, took them on their first date and made them feel great when driving it.
It has also brought back memories for Derm (the fitter) as he has not worked on a Capri for over 20 years!
Satisfied customer
I am liking it in the garage more and more every week. This week the boys in the workshop did a fantastic job for one of our customers. After which the customer said thanks boys what can I get you for such a great job - they said nothing. He then said well do you have a wife, to which Matt replied yes - he said well that’s settled I get her something.
So this evening I am sat as the desk and in the customer walks with a pot plant for me! I have no idea what it is, but I know the colours are lovely. I will certainly be on the phone to my mum tonight describing what it looks like and getting tips on how to look after it.
THANKS BOYS AND THE CUSTOMER
