Which one are you taking it too?

Don't go to the one in Bangor near partco,
they had 4 goes at doing an exhaust for me and each time didn't manage to make it work. They fit them with holes somehow and cover up the holes with silicone like stuff. It then pops off within 5 miles of leaving. They also hang the exhausts badly so it will knock. I went back here so many times, it was big hassle.

The guy in Pentraeth is really good.
He took 10 Mins to make it work and it still does 2 Yrs later.
None of that silicone rubbish either.

Drive the extra 10 mins and get the guy who knows what he's doing on it.

All main dealers will charge you mega money.
Elim are actually quite good for a main dealer, I like them.
But I would never ask them to work on my car, they charge £95 for front pads.
They are handy for bits you can't get from a factor though, like clips, screen washer jets etc
Also at Citroen the parts guy likes Hydropneumatic and can often solve problems on the phone.

You want to see the clowns in Cardiff by comparison.
Same money, but not a clue.
