Van service

[Spud]

Mechanics got to love them , put my van in for a service , main dealer , got a call from the service team , Mr Walsh your vehicle needs brake pads and windscreen wipers , how Much ? £130 for a set of front brake pads , 1/2 hours work max , how much for the windscreen wipers £ 50 supplied and fitted ,
I politely declined their kind offer and bought the parts for £38 and will fit them myself

I find it amazing that people can't even fit windscreen wipers or change a wheel these days!

£50 for wipers! Haha
Halfords charge £3 to fit a pair.

My vans due a service but it's going to my mates garage & I know it's done & im not getting ripped off.

I use a small local garage.....been going there with my vehicles for over 20 years and the owner is a personal mate.
Would never go to a main dealer.

Just had my car serviced by the local mechanic because it's cheaper for him to do it than me have time off of work to do it myself. Full service €45 labour!

Rant time! My battery has died at 2yrs and 10 months.
Covered by the 3yr Ford warranty BUT...

Got to take it in all day. No courtesy van available.
It's 100% obviously the battery (it read just 4volts)
The poorly educated, illiterate, girl I had to call was insisting that it would need a full day for tests and may even require parts or fixing.
I was SO wound up after the phone call I simply went and bought a new battery.
Cheaper than a day off work and MILES less stress.

Never ever EVER deal with Ford from Evans Halshaw if you value your sanity.
