    Alba European Wrap up

    Hi there loyal customers, just a heads up before it leaks out, ive accepted a techincal role off the tools somewhere and im very happy to announce that, this is happening after Easter. Sadly it may affect some of the community, i thank you all for your continued support over the years but to be honest wearing 20 hats has really worn thin and would like to wear only a couple now. I havent thought about it lightly, i have very loyal customers and only hope they have been happy with my service and what i provided albeit not being able to respond as quick as some would like. That leads me to the downside of it all that forced the need to move on. To those that i couldnt respond to at a split second, on christmas day or easter and at 10pm at night, that really wore thin. Im now focusing on my family and lastly me and my special projects that i have on the go. Really looking forward to them. Ill also still be a key player on here thats not going to change.
    To the good part for some, i will be keeping hold of my business name as ill be importing parts, ie polo solid bushes etc and will be a list being coming soon, ill also be offering on request a Saturday service twice a month for anything like timing belts,DSG servicing servicing etc, pretty much anything really as long as i have plenty notice, so things may seem no different to some
    Please let me take this opportunity to thank you all for your suport over the years its been much appreciated
    And to those still continuing with me with the Saturday thing ill speak to you soon

    All the best

    Well done Jimmy.

    All the very best for your new enterprise. Your right to look after yourself and family first. Your skills have meant you have been in demand by all and sundry. You can't please all of the people, all of the time. The change will do you good.

    A Saturday service I will LIKE that! Cheers Al.

    Well done & good luck.

    As I've said before, if you can be a successful mechanic with a retail customer base then you can probably be successful in another role paying twice as much for half the hours.
