Just looked at an old invoice. Even independents charge £60 an hour now. MOT £55, service £120, its not far off.

Ah, I didn't take the mot and service into consideration.. Pity you can't do the other bits yourself would save some wonga..

I'm only pretending to be sad really. Omegas go wrong and, unless you're handy with spanners, cost a lot to put right. It's all part of the joy ;D :y

Rear springs are easy enough.

Espcially if you have a rusty old Senator, and don't put all the bolts back in. Ain't that right Tunnie ;)

Picked it up this afternoon. £635 with an advisory on my exhaust. Haven't felt quite enough pain yet to be a proper omega owner, so I think I'll go for a genuine Vx full system, or perhaps a rather expensive stainless steel jobbie. Burble, burble ;D ;D

Mine was £45 this morning - 'Trade Price' .... I've been taking mine & hers there for MOT for years - for the Astra shed. It failed  :( The fail sheet, VT30, ran to 2 pages  ;D 8 fail points although a broken hand brake cable (£7.50) accounted for 4 of 'em.

Next year you need to look for a garage that just does MOT's ie they don't do any repair work. Or find out where the local taxis go for their test. The place I take my car to couldn't give a fig if it passes or fails cos they won't make money if it fails cos they don't do repair work.
£620? I don't know whether I'd have laughed or cried if I'd been presented with a bill like that!  :-/

Last years MOT cost me a favour, I love having a mate with his own MOT station.

It's worth every penny. Even amongst the newer cars in there it still looked great :y



I'd pay the same every year.

PS Read my signature. It was there before today ;)
