It was not a major garage but a small mot station in a small unit...I know they exist to make money,but you do not make money if people do not go back
There is no way the parts prices can look ok to anyone with a bit of sense,i have no problem with the labour prices but they are taking the piss with the oil and parts prices. £8 a litre for average semi synthetic from a 45 gallon drum??? £55 for pads??? £75 to change oil???
