    Rip Off

    My car needs new brake pads :( so I call my local Fiat car dealer asking how much it will cost :confused:

    quoted £97.40 fitted :eek:

    bit much for brake pads, so I call my local ATS £37.00

    :wtf:

    Thought I had called a Porche dealership in error

    never use the dealer for easy job's like that

    I scratched the roof of my brother's housemate's car the other week, so offered to pay for the repair. Nearly shat myself when he got a quote of £375 from the for dealership. Went elsewhere in the end and got it done for £110.

    Re: Rip Off

    find a decent local mechanic who runs his own garage. Will do a better job at half the price. I never use main dealers

    Never use Kwik fit, there is just something about that name that sounds wrong.

    reminds me of Kwik Save. If the staff are anything like they are in Kwik Save then your car would end up a wreck when it comes out cos they'd all be idiots!

    except for the 323 beemer it has a alloy engine and the heat warps the cylinder linings
