boohoo... service time

[*shig*]

well that time of year again when the service is due! not too bad because i dont pay for them (and MOT's), at least until next year but they just think because im a girl they can tell me this that and the other 'is knackered' or 'on its way out pet' so they make some money...:nono: i aint stupid and wish they wouldnt assume i dont know anything.... last year i had a girl sacked for treating me like that so bring on tonight when i go back for my car!! yeehaaaaa :rasp:

Rant over! ha

 

[HartZ]

LOL at getting the girl sacked, what was she trying to do you out of?

 

[Revels]

A lot of garages do the same. Just get a male to drop it off.

Are you the redhead or the other one?

i havent travelled far... i travelled less than a mile!! its practically on my door step!!

 

[HartZ]

Your picture on your profile lol

I didn't think you'd have far too go.

Take it there and then see what they say. If you know your brakes/tyres are good, then just ignore what they say.

If it's only a service, they'll do what's needed and you can ignore any other problems they create.

Around my way they aren't sexist like that. they try to screw everyone equally.

yeah i need new back tyres! and my brakes are abit squeaky i also have a like knocking noise when the wheel is turned right, doesnt happen all the time and is usually half a lock to full lock it happens, havent looked at it yet as its just started not so long ago but this did happen with an old car i had so i have a good idea what it is, i have a not so great exhaust aswell, apparently it has a leak, or so evans halshaw say anyway... so they wont be telling me anything i dont already know!!! i just havent got round to fixing these problems!

 

[Christopher]

Are you allergic to full stops? lol.

 

[*shig*]

- 2 new tyres - actually i think she got that wrong, i reckon i need 4 like - £??!
- rear pads - £129.60
- excessive play - £147.96
- some injection thing has snapped, (she didnt have a clue, hence why i dont) - £?
- new window wipers £20
and
- headlight bulb - they wanted £27!!!! i dont think so!

[Ol’ Tarby]

Re: cars ruined me for the next few months!

£130 quid for rear pads?!

 

[sideways danny]

Re: cars ruined me for the next few months!

rear pads are £45 fitted

excessive plan in what?


they're bumming you. dont use main dealers, they dont care!!!!!

Re: cars ruined me for the next few months!

You took your car to Renault ?

Schoolboy(girl) error !

 

[AdamR]

Re: cars ruined me for the next few months!

Hmm, if they 'don't have a clue' then I would go somewhere else dude! Rear pads do sound like they should be dodo-encrusted at that price too!

the girl telling me didnt have a clue, told her if i could have 'the list' of faults then i would have a look and go elsewhere..

I've merged your two threads. Please try not to start new threads on the same subject as it clogs up the forums.

nowhere worth using will take the word of another garage as a diagnosis anyway, so i wouldn't even bother asking for the list

FLOL @ free MOT.

Your "free" MOT just nearly cost you over £500 depending what hilarious costs the tyres would have been.

Bargain.

do appologise! didnt realise!

mot is next month... last years mot got some poor lass sacked so bring it on again!!

 

[Austin-182]

Thats what happens when you go to a dealer!

 

[SimonR.]

Most of that stuff you can do yourself. The play in the steering is probably the track rods and will not cost that much to have done.

When I last rang the dealers for a pencil coil (priced at £56 each) the lad said don't bother and go online
