I took my car in for a service (1999 Vauxhall Tigra) and I cannot believe the quote they have given me to carry out repairs. Are there any mechanics out there who can tell me whether a) they are completely overcharging me and b) whether someone who fixes cars would buy this from me with these faults and how much for!
OK this is the list of things they said was wrong;
1) Excessive shudder whe moving from standstill possible clutch. advised strip for investigation.
2) Car excessively smoking when revved, requires cylinder head gasket.
3) Advised timing belt and spark plugs due to age and mileage if not been done.
4) Back box baffles ex loose.
5) 2 rear shockers leaking
6) Excessive leak at power steering rack and power steering pump leaking.
7) Excessive oil leak at sump gasket.
Their quote for INVESTIGATING the gasket and gearbox, replacing the spark plugs, changing the timing belt and blackbox, 2 new rear shock absorbers, steering rack and pump and sump gasket was
£1948.
