Total = 23 minutes. Even if you divide that in half because you think I'm exaggerating it is still 11 or 12 minutes.
In a previous job, I sold and fitted wheel and tyre packages. If I'd taken 23 minutes to fit one wheel, I'd have been sacked!By 23 minutes, I should have been on the final wheel - if not pulling the car back off the ramps. And that's aftermarket ones with fiddly spigot rings and weights measured in the tonnes range.
If I was a garage owner and it takes my mechanic 5+ minutes to find the right socket (being that most are 17, 19 or 21mm) then I'd seriously have to consider if they were right for the job!

Had a couple of my cars done after periods of WRN (work related neglect). Always makes them feel like a new car.
When spare cash is abound, the SAAB will be getting detailled by someone decent.
(previous owner for 4year from new never washed it, or polished it - woman, career girl)

I'm afraid overfilling the brake/clutch fluid resevoir won't affect your ability to select gears. Well, not like underfilling will. I doubt years of trouble free motoring - sorry.
I do feel extremely sorry for you. It's just a shame you bought a Renault in the first place - they're so tempting to buy second hand. They look good, have good spec and are cheap. Well, you now know why they're so cheap. I just hope other people read this and don't fall for the 'too good to be true' pricetag.

Bloody lucky that I saw this thread, as I was about to hand my car over to them on Friday to rebuild the engine.
Also read through a few of the 27 pages on the RAC forum.
Still got a BMW with a buggered engine, but at least I still have the car and some money. Sounds like I'm one up on a lot of unsuspecting people. I can't believe Roy Dart is still allowed to act as a director of a company. Welcome once again to Broken Britain.

Same address, same people.
OSGAR OZI still answers the phone.
They are still on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-GALAXY-1-8-TDCI-QYW...
Avoid at all cost.
If you have a car with them, get it recovered immediately as they are now striping the car and selling the parts before they claim they never had the car in the first place.
