IceMan Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I've been wondering this a while: if I want to get my Supra checked over by an expert on Supras (rather than Toyota lol) who are the people to see on here? I'm aware of a few in passing but is there a sticky somewhere that lists the people who are Supra experts in particular so I could see who's nearest to me? Cheers!

Aerotop Dave Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 This was something I tried to kick off last year but everyone just posted useless comments so I gave up with it! I was thinking about a GB map with numbered red dots on it. Underneath you had the name and contact details of the garage or trader...

I cannot see that working as you are bound to get some people thinking X garage were great whilst others thought they were crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weinelm Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I think that it's a great I idea. We could give the garages feedback type ratings. Somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I think that it's a great I idea. We could give the garages feedback type ratings. Somehow. And how would you decide if it is a good garage or not when one member says his level of service was shit and anolther says it was great?

weinelm Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 A bit like you do on ebay... see what the majority say. I'm not saying it would be a particularly easy thing to set up though! And how would you decide if it is a good garage or not when one member says his level of service was shit and anolther says it was great?

CJ Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Dont get me wrong, I am not against the idea just unsure how practical it is. I recall several instances in the past where a member had a right go about a trader who, on the face of it, had behaved very badly. But when the trader came on to give his side of the story, it wasny quite so cut and dried. Very difficult IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkey Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I personally think doing the rating system is a good idea in theory - but I doubt it would work in practice .. and no doubt open up a whole can of worms! I think the only way that idea would work would simply be show the contact details & location. Then make up your own mind by using the "Search" button. But off the top of my head.

IceMan Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 I meant more the guys who deal (more or less) exclusively with Supras as opposed to general Jap car garages. But yeah it could be made up as a ratings type thing. As this is a pay-to-play club that would hopefully rule out people rating things badly on purpose?

Digsy Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Would I be correct in saying that this version of VBB supports "vendor ratings" for members? I think AV Forums uses them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash Rendar Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I haven't been on the Supra scene for very long, but I was very impressed with Paul at MiamiGT. I learned a lot in the short time my car was there. Will definitely be going back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
