  18. totally agree in one way but i can not see how they can justify that amount. he said wont be going back. going to give the car a full service for him saturday that would have been more money had they carried it out.
  19. my thoughts , the bill was not even broken down parts labour .just work carried out and a total
  20. just a word of caution on some classic car repair garages , spoke to a friend of a friend yesterday asking on his 72 what i thought of how much a well known garage in hampshire had charged him for the following work on his lancia fulvia sport 1972. new rear springs/ new brake pipes and flexi hoses caliper rebuild / new su electric fuel pump back up to manual / then put through a mot which it passed. knowing the garage not the cheapest around i said proberly around 4k. he then produced the invoice a nearly fell over 10k exactly. when he questioned it they said had taken six weeks labour also the springs had to be made to order . told him to come to me next time crazy paul ,just to add he took it in said no rush for the car so did not query when he did not here from them, until he received the call to say all done you can collect . admits he was expecting around a 5k bill having used them in the past . maybe its me out of touch as i do all my own repairs .
  21. possibly the wrong bearing was my thoughts paul
