Oh sure the manager was doing the  "You need new discs all round as two are 1/2 mm below the  makers minimum" number on some repmobile and "your A8 tyres are a unique size ,not a stocked item" but thats not why I was there .

Its the 4th car I've taken there in a month and unless they are trying to nick trade they are fair in the fails and advises .

The other place (M-  test farnham ) failed a trooper on front shocks ,replaced em went back and they failed the rear ones. Much booing by me and threats of VOSA saved the day so I needed a new place .

Although I've yet to take advantage of their air con recharge service I have it on good authority that it's one of the best around. If the system tests as leaking there is no charge for the testing stage. If a leak shows up shortly after recharging (within a week or two I believe) they will refund the fee. If the temperature of the cooled air is less than a given difference between ambient and 'cooled' air then, again, there is no fee to pay. All this for a fixed charge which includes the necessary lubricant and UV flourescent leak detection fluid - unlike many places which charge by the weight of refrigerant and extra for the rest of it.

Obviously this is dependent on your air con sysytem being compatible with R134a and not the old R12a. I doubt that they stock/use the R12a replacement, R24a.

You have still got a years ticket for £34.99 and a bulb to boot, a result i would guess, mot at our local is £48 inc vat. They are firm but also fair. Not a bad attitude really.

ive used the local kwikfit in norwich for the past 4 years. they are honest and good value. 1971 vauxhall viva straight through the MOT for 2 years in a row, they tightened the wheel bearings free of charge one year so it would go straight through, third year - fair and minor fails - easy fixed - straight back in for retest no probs. the exhaust went so i ordered a replacement from another guy, they fitted it for 25 quid the same day. been in for other things and they have always pulled the onions out the bag for me.
