Hi guys.
Today i felt desperate again, after my Fiat Panda (1.3 Multijet 2007) full service. I paid 900 pounds, you can see my receipt
I passed my MOT 3 months ago with advisories for 2 tyres worn close to legal limit and coil spring corroded rear, both. When i went for full service, i expected just to receive the maintenance im paying for but they rang me yesterday to tell me i need to pay for breaks, 3 TYRES!, battery and etc. Is that normal? I thought my tyres will be fine until my next MOT, spring 2021. And when that third tyre happened to be for change? If my brakes were for change, why they didn't tell me on my MOT which they did for me 3 months ago? It wasn't even in advisories? 1 year ago, i went in the same company for MOT and full service, you can see the receipt
i paid for 2 tyres again, for brakes again, is there no warranty? Why second year in a row I'm paying for same things? I made around 7000 miles, for that year. Do you thing something is not right here, because i feel robbed. The service i used these these 2 times is called Kwik Fit, based in Liverpool. My car is around 115 000 miles. And if this garage is suspicious, i used a different one in 2017 and 2018, its called Budjet Tyres & MOT in Liverpool.
you can see the receipts here. My wife was going to kill me today, she asked me if I'm crazy to pay so much for a car that i bought for 900 pounds. Guys please give me advice, what should i do? Is it fair to pay so much every year? Is it better to buy a car worth at least 10 000 pounds on finance and if i do that, is it sure I'm not going to pay so much at garages when i go for MOT and full service? Should i go for MOT and service only at FIAT garages? Thank you in advance.
EDIT: I cant see the images myself so in a few words, this year i paid 400 pounds for brake cylinder, cable, pad set and two discs. FULL SERVICE £153.90, BATTERY £91.40, brake fluid, diesel cleaners, tyres and overall is 900 pounds
2019 i was charged for brake shoes and brake cylinder - 100 pounds, full service, MOT, tyres and 120 for things that i even cant understand, overall 500
2018 i paid 400 and 2017 - 650
is this normal?
