My daughter went for an MOT and her car failed with over £1,500 of immediate work needed (new brake discs rear £266, new rear silencer £1,317) and an additional over £1000 of repair as soon as possible and advisory fixes including spark plugs for £198 LOL. So my advice to her was get out of there as quickly as possible and book in at a reputable garage. She did this 2 days later and with no work done her car passed with no issue apart from an advisory to monitor 2 tyres. Amazing that! You know what I think? 1: The car fairy worked its magic and fixed everything, 2: The highly rated garage she took it to on best advice for a 2nd look are in fact incredibly incompetent and will pass a matchbox on button wheels or 3: Halfords staff should wear pirate costumes and fly a jolly Rodger flag from a flagpole on the forecourt. Avoid this place or pay a very dear price indeed. Oh and on a quick note they made sure to charge her for Full service done immediately prior to failing her car on a mot, what garage does a service prior to mot?? read more
