I got charged £124 for a faulty rear indicator wire. I asked reception how was the price that high and he explained it’s what they charge for labour. The invoice stated they charged 1.5 hours of labour. I spoke with a couple of mechanic friends and explained that’s very expensive. Disappointed.
No call was made for 3 days so I called them and no apology was made for not calling and they then offered to just look at my car in 4 weeks time… not even to fix the issue, just to look at it… no thanks!
Paid £15 to test battery, alternator and starter. The technician tested the battery first, which he told me was the issue - he then replaced it for £160. Then he told me that the starter was also broken and would be £350. He didn’t test the alternator at all! I tried to book the car in to get the starter fixed and was not able to arrange a time to do so despite phoning twice and told I’d be phoned back. Staff smoking, swearing and just wandering around. Establishment is badly maintained and unpleasant. Staff are rude, unprofessional and dishonest.
On collection of the vehicle I found that it was not in the condition ie settings that I left it . Sat nav and cameras were left disabled, the electronic trip screen had not been reset and the lights had been taken off auto and not restored.
The job had been completed and the car was cleaned and running.
Probably will not be using these again if I can find an alternative.
