where the hell does the money go when u pay £30+ and hour labour! The mechanic only gets £10 and hour if he's lucky. They rip u off sumfin stupid!

I put my car in to get a problem sorted at a local garage today and they cudn't really find the problem but they said we'll clean a part for u and it mite make a difference and they charged an hours labour. As far as I know all they did was adjust sumfin that they've done before and which I cud do in 1 min.

I'm not gonna name the garage but in general do people find that they get a better deal at really small more personal face to face with the actual mechanic kind of garages than bigger ones if u know what I mean????

I'm just thinkin whether to try a few garages with the future problems I ave wiv the car or is not worth the risk. to be fair to this garage they seem to know wot they're doin but I just reckon they charge to much.
