    Garages

    AGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

    i have had no car for 2 weeks now thanks to the stupid local garage!!

    i put it in for an MOT 2 tuesdays ago and they still have it, and keep saying " we are waiting for parts"

    the parts they are waiting for are 2 bolts for the clutch, and i understand that on modern cars most bolts are saftey bolts which when removed cannot be put back on, and thus new ones are needed, but seriously 2 WEEKS???? i could prob order them off the net within 24 hours!

    is it just my garage that seems to be in the stone age or are they all like this??

    funny i thought i would just do the job myself, there wasnt much to do for the MOT bar new shocks, and the garage have told me that it has already passed!!!

    The garage I use in Sheffield is usually ok but the own back home is useless. he seems to have no idea that people need their cars and are quite happy for them to be off the road for a few days

    my car hasn't seemed quite right since i had my car serviced locally....turns out i work with some one who's husband worked there for a day...they have 2 17 yr old lads who don't know how to do servicing doing the servicing...turns out they don't spend much time on the servicing but in the toilets skinning up!

    i'm fucking stotting that i spent £100 there and my cars not right :angry:

    my garage actually rang me back up a week later to say that they had accidently overcharged me by £25!! Most places would've kept the mouths shut, so i was pretty pleased.
