    £34 per hour sounds pretty good. Guy I take my car to is £50 per hour and main dealers are charging £80-100 per hour.

    34 seems about right for an independant garage

    My local yokel garage charges £45ph.

    My dads Mercedes stealer charges £150ph.

    Does this mean the Mercedes dealer is 3 times better? Nope. It means they are 3 times more stupid.

    Fixed!!!!!
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die
