Default horror story

thought id stick some pics up of the work my local mot garage thought was acceptable. when the car came back to me after two weeks with its new mot certificate i found out that they had actually disconnected and blanked off the rear brakes because they couldn't get them working, needless to say that i have got trading standards involved and im sure that they wont be issuing mots for alot longer !!!, heres the pics, the last one is it sat in my mates garage getting sorted and looking a bit sorry for itself, hopefully be all done with my new rims on ready for townley park.

i practically never take my car to a garage, do everything myself cos that way at least i know ive done it (not necesserily perfect) but well enough. my last garage was told to repair my brakes and for 150, gave me new callipers and the same problem back.I only trust one of my mates who is a mechanic, and ironically works for hi q in brighton

Fucking hell mate that is shockingly bad

Brake pipes are one of my fav jobs and always take my time and have them fitting as good and as neat as it did from the factory.

Its not even as if its a hard job to do on a Mk3 as there is plenty of room to fit the new pipes and you dont have to go removing anything to get to them, the place that did this deserves to be made an example off mate as that repairs look like it was done by someone lying under the car outside in the pissing rain and being done as a temp repair just to get you home

That's shocking. Have you reported them to VOSA too? They deserve to lose their MOT license for that
