This has just got to be a racket. You get a quote and as you posted, next minute they say you need to do this and that and suddenly the price has gone up 4-5 times what they quoted.

you guys need to find a mechanic who knows his craft but is not working for the dealerships. My mum has a 3 year old Mini & the prices the BMW dealerships quote are outrageous.

Often with todays cars replacing of leads hoses and a "reboot" of the system computer is a service.

Search the net.

^ Must be that time of year....

Two weeks ago I got a bill for $570 for replacement of the radiator (which I'm not paying), 4 days later the same issue presented itself (overheating) and a reconditioning of the engine plus another replacement of the radiator (under warranty...go figure) was required. $1770.

Originally the second time around he said I was looking at ~$1100. That crept up by $670.

It's the main Subaru service plave. The only good thing is that they don't charge me when I bring it in for them to look at it and they wash it as well... Im clutching at straws here aren't I lol

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
