SwissVan Posted July 4, 2007 Share Cheers SwissVan Fair's fair - you must tell us your service horror stories. My fave so far was in Malawi where my friend's Range Rover went in manual and came out automatic. That about sums up the stories I have to tell.In all honesty these stories date back to last century...the dark days when TDF was still in small shop in the centre of Benoni (near to where the Lake side mall is now). Probably best to leave things at that. I personally have always had good service from TDF but I know of 3 separate incidents from 3 reliable sources that changed my mind.

I know what you mean, lucky i haven't been in that situation yet, but it's the same as sending your car into the shop or your wife's ring for resizing, do you know how to tell the clarity of the diamond, sorry just using that as an example, but you have to give some sort of trust, they also have there name to keep up... It's all a matter of trust Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/6708-tour-de-frans-best-service/page/2/#findComment-126941 Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted July 4, 2007 Share Fair i suppose. I doubt there's one retailer, cycle or otherwise that has a 100% customer satisfaction. I can only vouch for my experiences and those which i have heard which have all been good.

scotty Posted July 4, 2007 Share Yes, Yes Biltong. Well actually no, some people like theirs dry, some a bit wet, so i suppose that if Frans sold biltong there would still be disatisfied customers.

scotty Posted July 4, 2007 Share At the price of biltong in the shops a few kg worth will cost almost as much as sponsoring Tiny in the cape epic.
