Can anyone beat this price for changing a light bulb?
I recently had to have a new dipped headlight bulb. Tried to do it myself but it looked so awkward I decided to take it to the main dealer locally for them to fit one. (Thinking they would know how to do it).
The results: -
They took almost an hour working continuously at it. Told me they had never done one before and charged me £17.44 for the priviledge of learning how to fit one on my car.
That's not the best. When I drove home I realised they had fitted it incorrectly so it was pointing down and it wouldn't light up the road ahead. When I looked under the bonnet I found the lid of the fuse box rattling around. They had not refitted it after removing it to get at the light bulb.
Who does one trust to service and maintain your car?
I refitted the bulb myself this morning and refitted the fuse-box cover, all in less than 15 minutes.
Maybe there's a business opportunity here!! Anyone need their bulbs fitting come and see me. I wont charge you the earth!!
Cheers
