hi
As said I have spent over £9,000 on car repairs in almost 5 years. I easily afford to run a car , I always have my fuel tank full to capacity, I can easily afford to go to a garage but, why should I ? I've been ripped off enough and I actually enjoy fixing my car and seeing how it is all put together.
All the repairs I've done have been done to a satisfactory standard, in fact any problems I've had have been jobs previously done by other people, overall I would say I'm better overall when a repair job has been completed than the so-called mechanics who have ''fixed'' things on it in the past.
cheers
