Do you ever recommend dealers / suppliers / mechanics etc on this or other forums ?
I frequent another car forum and am often amused when people recommend someone yet when questioned its clear they have never used them personally or had direct experience of the services they provide.
Often the recommendations made are based on “forum” reputation or such like or some digital pictures of restorations etc. - not real experience.
I would never recommend someone that I did not know from personal experience, without making it clear I had not used them.
Some people have made expensive mistakes acting on “forum reputation” recommendation rather then “actual” recommendation.
Would you ever recommend someone to buy a car from a dealer you had never bought a car from ( I wouldn’t) although I would point them in them direction of known dealers - making it clear I had never used them.
Thoughts .......
