"oh thats okay we can get it done tomorrow". okay i said how much. £175 for a pump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so thats £475 all in [:(!][:(!][:(!] was not impressed had me over a barell and i was getting shafted big time! had no choise but to get them to do it feel so angry next time going to do it myself
And on top of all of that got the front disc's to change,front pads,front flex brake hoses, front tyres and the oil and filter to do (got all them parts from GFS) oh and the LHM to drain clean the filters and re-fill just wish i hand not sold my audi! not a single problem with that car in 5 years!!!!
It was a pug garage in TELFORD in shropshire on the holyhead road! next to the shell stay clear, lol and the sad thing is a mate at work i was talking to wish i'd talked to him before trading standards have done this place twice before for not changeing parts and using old ones! must be trying to fob people off with problems they dont have now, going for there hat trick

I know this dealer in Telford got some mates at the wifes works who hvae told me about there shonky practice'es [V]. One mate bought new a 206 estate from them and the CD changer wasn't working on picking it up "that'll be the code needs to be inputted due to the battery being off in the show room" ok then carry on say my mate "thats £10 then please sir"
Hang on the car's still on the fore court with 1 mile on the clock and you want a tenner for a problem you made "yes sir" guess what.. no code in the owners pack as it would be in "the post". Needless to say as a solicitor he quotes trading standards and didn't pay the money. The dealer refused to re-code so he went to another Pug dealer who sorted for free. It aint the first time they've been looked at.

PazaUK - why not give Trading Standards a phone and get some advice?
When you pick the car up, ask for a full breakdown of costs, demand to see the manager etc etc, theaten legal action/local newspaper/trading standards (whichever you think will get a result).
If you cause enough fuss, they'll probably reduce your bill just to get rid of you.
