  • Rent, rates, shit margins, wiggle cunts, amazon etc etc it’s a tough marketplace. I had a customer ask me today, if I would price match a lock he has picked up with Amazon’s price. I said, it’s already £20 off retail, that’s the cheapest I can do. You can buy it from amazon if you like, I really don’t mind. But just remember, maybe one day there will be no shops left, and only amazon.

    He ended up buying a more expensive lock, but only just.

    Some customers are soulless weasels - I hadn’t heard about wiggles mobile mechanic model before but it is concerning. Just gotta hope customers still succeed in ordering incompatible parts and that the mobile mechs don’t carry enough stock to cover those bases....

    Everyone looking for London alternatives going forwards, how about SBC?

    I can see the news now... "Mobile mechanic bludgeon to death in random guys shed for saying chain is rusty and needs to be replaced." can honestly see the service plagued by customers wanting everything for nothing and kicking off at mechanics but without the security of a shop.
