don't you just hate it when.....
« on: 27 May 2012, 22:44 »
A garage quotes you £375 to get your £100 banger ('96 Polo 1.4) through an MOT

Another garage does the work after your car is commadeerd by your dad who feels you are incapable of actually sorting out your own car and charges £150 but car does pass MOT This time and with no advisories.

The above garage sort the slight misfire/stalling when braking issue but now my £100 banger is running sluggish as hell and shakes like my washing machine on spin over 60 when before it was running smooth as anything well over 80.

Plus the garage owner is a mate of my dad so when he makes a smug remark and I tell him where to go (in less than ladylike fashion followed by nearly driving my car and him through the shutters) my Dad rounds on me.

Seriously hate that garage men treat me like I am stupid and don't know my own car and they know better.  They don't understand no matter what they do my car doesn't like the rain, messing around with the wheels does not make anything better and I hate that I spend the next 2 days trying to adjust my seat to how I like it.

Oh I wish I was a mechanic.

What garage/car idiot things do you gus hate....

Oh yeah as our moaning skills go up...our ability to drive goes down lol.

I wouldn't mind if the man actually knew what he was talking about.  My Other half has kept my car running flawlessly. This is the same guy who told my brother his gear box was terminated and actually there was nowt wrong with it.

It was one of those weeks lol.

I guess the engine hasn't fallen out yet.

Maybe I am just miffed that no garage locally has these hot bodied men I see in music videos....

Well alas I don't live with my other half who can put my mouth to better use than moaning.

But I said it all with a smile  :wink:

live and wriggling boys....now are you going to throw me back or keep me and cook me...lol.

No my car doesn't like the rain, just like me it struggles to life reluctantly on very wet days.  And yes the rain makes me frizzy, it makes the car wet...lol

P.S.  I take the mickey out of myself far more than anyone else I know....I don't mind a laugh at my expense...as long as people are smiling  :grin:
