Service cowboys beware! - 9th Nov 2008 3:29pm
I use to have my car, a Nissan Micra serviced at Nissan dealership but I thought this year I try an independent garage thinking it would be cheaper so I decide to have it service and MOT to "BAT Motorsport" in Liverpool. However they said it failed its MOT because the break pad need replacing, they also claim my brake pipe is leaking. When I ask them to give me the quote of repair the proprietor, Dave, would not give me a figure but said it wont cost much to do. I start to have suspicion and ask can I take my car away which he refuse. Foolishly I gave him the benefit of the doubt and let him do the repair. Anyway when I got the bill it was a whopping £538!!!!
I doubt the dealership would charge that amount and would advise on cost unlike those cowboys at BAT Motorsport, Liverpool.
I would advise people who want their car service to ask around first. I have been stunged and learnt the hard way.
