This place is a great example of how you can be swayed by a brand name; having the credibility of the AA attached to this place, I thought I could trust them not to be like so many other mechanics who think they can take you for a ride just because you can't replace the engine block yourself at home. Unfortunately that proved not to be the case.
We took our car here for a WOF check, which it failed; long story short they tried to charge us $170 for a second hand part; I bought a new one for $40 and fitted it myself in less than two minutes. When I called them on this and queried the price of the other work they had quoted, they then managed to re-quote it $150 cheaper, and said "Oh, that's very confusing, we can't explain why that was quoted so high". Suffice to say, we won't be going back. We took our car there with a discount voucher (from the AA) so I'd like to hope they didn't try to make back this discount on the repairs. read more
