Title: I'm quite pleased with this garage.
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 06 March 2015, 16:07:46
Replace front discs, pads, and wear sensor.

Replace fuel filter.

Change oil and filter.

Change brake fluid. The old stuff looked like it had never been changed.

Remove corrosion from brake pipes. (An advisory on the last MOT).

All parts including oil and filter supplied by me (except brake fluid) so labour costs only.


Total cost £100.80. including 20% VAT. I'm happy with that.

Courteous service, too. :y

Yes I'd be happy with that as well.  :y

Especially changing the brake fluid (which I need to do) which strikes me as a PITA of a job to do on the drive.  :-\

My brake fluid was as black as King Kong's arse. ;D

The brake discs were totally fooked, with great lumps falling of them. 33,000 miles old.

NNNNNNNOOOOOOO, Mr Emd. A small independent who last put up their prices when decimalisation came in.

They don't seem to employ anyone under fifty. :)
