I contacted Kumbak they quote me $33 for VT / VX door handle assembly, and Chris there said they had some in stock (silver colour for my VT Calais).
When I rock up there, the stooge at the desk goes and grabs a white one, after I told him I spoke to Chris about a silver handle assembly, and he says:
"We've got them, but they are on cars, it will therefore be $44 as it takes 15-20 minutes to remove" So I said to him , well Chris told me it was in stock and $33 was the price, and he goes: "Do you want a handle or not mate?"
Anyways, he tries to remove one from VT 99 mdl, and both left hand side inner door trims were ripped out, so therefore took only 2 mins to remove, but he busted the first one, the 2nd one came out fine. So much for the 15-20 mins labour. What a bl00dy stooge.
He was such a rude pr1ck to me, has anyone else had similar experience with Kumbak and their staff?
On this basis, I recommend that anyone go elsewhere, as this guy was unwilling to help me out. However Chris on the phone seemed very friendly.
Cheers,
