Just had a Service!
« on: 10 November 2004, 09:52 »
What y'all think of this:-

Took my car to be serviced last evening, guy i know works in a garage but does his private work in the evenings.
Dropped it off at 5.15pm. Picked it up at 6.45pm.

He did - Oil and filter change, plugs and leads, fuel filter. Including parts and oil he charged me ?85.00
Not bad eh?

Is that reasonable or what?

Yea it will be gibby, but cheers for the tip!

I first got recommende to this guy for my Pugs, coz he was Peugeot trained.
But he is much more than that, does a lot of air-cooled work and is also a top welder!
Used him for over 4 years now and has become a mate and drinking buddy, only drawback is some of his mates are drug squad cops!  ;) ;D
