Just got out of hospital, feeling a bit under the weather.
Mrs mercmads Mitsubishi colt needs a service, so I thought I would ring around a few garages for a quote.
A lot of garages seem to be doing these £99 specials, but this just seems to be changing the oil!!
But one garage asked me for the registration and said they would price the parts and ring me back.
2 hours later phone rings, its the garage with their price, conversation went like this,
Garage: "hello sir, the price is £270 for the service, you can rest assured we will use genuine Toyota parts"
Me: "er, its a mitsubishi"
Garage: "oh ok"
Me: "so what am i getting for my £270?"
Garage: "new plugs, oil, filter, cabin filter, and we check the brakes as well"
Me: "what about the cambelt?"
Garage: " we check that aswell"
Me: "it has not got a cambelt"
Garage: " well we will do it for £170"
Me:"thank you, I will let you know"
Like I say...oh dear..
Ah well, I will have to wait untill I am better and get my tools out!!
