isnt this one of those subjects you have to be very carefull about answering (if you wish to avoid legal dramas)... sorry mate IMO thats one you should ask in private..
Its only where slandering or libel (i think its called that...its writing "rude" things) is involved that things can get you into trouble....there is a difference between that and an opinion.
Wrong mate!...if you impune somebody or some company's "good" name you can be in trouble if they take offence and want to pursue the matter....it can be said in the nicest possible way.
BTW The existing Padstow company (Mini Spares of Australia?? sumpin like that) bought out Mini Kingdom (formerly opp Bankstown Airport) years ago.
I probably said what I was trying to say wrong.....You can provide an opinion providing that it does not damage a reputation....
BUT for example.
If you said.."I wouldnt go to them cause "insert name" are crap" is very different to, "From personal experience I have prefered the service of (insert name) over (Insert name)" is hardly slander, libel or anything of the sort...that is not damaging a reputation it is simply offering a view of personal experience
If i said something like that and the company got pissed off at it, they can come and sue me for all their worth cause I know I'll win. There is a distinct difference between opinion and damage of reputation and like all things, depends in what context it's used and how it is delivered.
If it wasn't so, every tom, dick and harry would be sued every day
