All
I had a Pug 306 Mot'd yesterday, Serviced by a friend and myself 2mths ago and we sorted everything out that needed doing for the MOT, drove only 1000 miles in this car since.
Took it to Volvo MotorWorld in Swindon for an MOT. I knew the radiator was on it's way out but Rad weld does the trick, this is only a part time car!.
Anyway I went back to pick up the car and they said it had failed and needs £1111.43 Yes over 1K, to resolve!!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR I said, then said it again......
So I said I'll pay for the MOT and right the car off as it's worth £1500 on a good day. After getting home chilling out my friend had another garage look at it, ready for this..... Cost to pass MOT is £200, then he said you will have to buy a new rad soon. That's it! Phew I said.....
Why was Volvo Motorworld trying to ripp me off! if they said £200 I would have said yes!!!
So stay clear if your in the Swindon, Wiltshire area:idea:
