Closer to McD's I suspect but I could be wrong - theyre well known for it amongst experienced Accy drivers.

One of my mates had his MOT done, at a reputable garage (not that s**t hole), and was told that his exhaust was on its way and would probably need replacing within 3 months.

So on his way home from picking up his car from MOT he thinks, - call in a few places and get quote for new exhaust, calls in at the so called garage for quote which they gave him (average price!) but then it was "oh by the way, have you noticed 2 of your tyres are very worn, dangerously close to, if not below the legal limit" "can we give you a price for replacing, you shouldn't drive any further on them today"

Fuming - mate picks up MOT certificate and job sheet from front seat of car and says "well they were fine 10 mins ago" and gives him some verbal grief which I shall not repeat.

Beware folks - go to places you can trust and/or ask for recommendations off family/friends or Accyweb
