ossie_21 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Anything sent international should be sent with tracking numbers, I haven't sent anything overseas but everything I have had sent came with them. Mostly car parts too, so as a business they should be sending it traceable as well. Its not like it's costing them money, you would take that extra cost. And if you're like me, I'd believe you wouldn't mind paying an extra $30-50 or whatever for knowing just where a couple of grand worth of parts are Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/384787-xspeed/page/2/#findComment-6141709 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R DIRTY 3 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Well we charge $132/hr ($120+ GST). Compared to the "stealerships" we are quite reasonably priced considering the types of cars we work on; places like the Audi Centre, Westpoint Star and Lexus of Perth all charge close to $200/hr from what I understand. I charge $132 per.hour at my 'Stealership' as you all lovingly call it lol Paul, when was the service you paid 500? Not since I was there I'd hope?

thychiz Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 To be totally honest, one dealing with Xspeed was enough for me, They basically gave me half arsed information, and a lot of "CBF" attitude. They are on my permanent "no go" list Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/384787-xspeed/page/2/#findComment-6142568 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passive Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I've had a lot of dealings with Xspeed and never really had any issues. My mate also has had his car in there for awhile getting things done to it. I don't think he's had any issues either.
