Servere wallet pain...

[Droptheclutch]

Just been bent over and had my wallet extracted thru somewhere nasty by a local garage in Hook...

Beware of so-called specialists in this area, PM me if you require more info.

They have overcharged and failed to fix a major problem and they expect me to drive the car 1000 miles in the next week with no hassle!

My blood is boiling!

Can you post more info on the problem and the non-fix without naming names?

Yep.

Oil leaks. They told me there were three and all was fine - car in fine fettle etc.

It turns out there were four (and they knew this, but neglected to tell me until today, after the car has been picked up, paid for etc)

The fourth is the most serious and I (and my family) have to rely on the car next week for a big trip.

They overcharged by £200 to £300 on the bill and have as good as admitted to the 'error' (I think they were surprised I did my homework!). I await their cheque!
