Trav ==> What, about Pedders, or just in general

Toyboy ==> Where'd you find that?

re: peddars

He sounds like a man who wants to blame the world for his own business failure to me. Wonder if he'll wind up in a tent next after they finish sueing him for slander?

wow someone's got a major beef!

I use Pedders for all my suspesion work, but only used their camber bolts/nolathane bushes - everything else has been installing whiteline stuff.

But i only go to the one outlet and i've got a good working relationship with them. I can only say good things about the South Melbourne branch.

I don't know. I have seen big business tactics like that before.
Look at all the games with Service Stations with differences in
base fuel prices to the servo to reduce their margin or force them
to be at a higher price to weed them out.
It happens.. What I was hoping to see were the real facts about
what they did to him. It mentions allowing others to sell in his
area which does go against franchise operations where you are
given an area to service.

Hope his court case wins. A shakeup is always good for making
companies refocus on the customers.

Regards

Mal
