thats the problem with this country any idiot can open up a garage without any type of qualifications, and in this day an age the physics are more applicable with the advances in technology.

I take it the garage that you took it to was either a back street workshop or a fast fit centre. personally i wouldn't allow them to clean my car,

there should be legislation so that every garage technician should have a minimum of a level 3 NVQ or equiv,

I hate wanna be's, and uneducated (Technicians if you can call them that). they potentially could of KILLED YOU.

glad your not going to use them again.

safety is priority, and he obviously did carry out the necessary checks which could of lead to you killing your self or someone.. sounds like a very dangerous mechanic in my honest educated opinion.

but hope you get the car sorted soon,, how much did you pay for all that work then?
