PM Stephen.

They aren't bad to do, just need a press to get them into the upright. I think Stephen will be able to advise you on a decent garage to do it as well...

:lol: Though you were just angry at them...

Shame, had heard a few positive reports about them :(

What will it take to get a trustworthy specialist?

i'm not knocking there work, just that the have an enthusiastic clock when it comes to totting up hours spent on a car.

oh, and they do work that you didnt ask them to do, then charge you for it, and when you complain that you didnt ask for it to be done and you dont like it, they offer to redo it for free (ignoring the fact you have already paid for it)

oh, and they charge you the extra hours it takes them, coz they didnt do a job properly like wot it says in the workshop manual

have you won the lottery??

just be VERY clear about what work you want done, make it VERY clear that you wont pay for work they do without checking with you first, and make it VERY clear that you wont pay extra for there mistakes.

good luck

Can't fault them with the service I've had from them. It's been miles better than MMC of late.
