Quick query for mechanics/anyone who knows about cars

Hi

Hoping someone on here can help. The exhaust on my car has 'dropped' and is now a few inches off the ground

Car passed MOT 2 weeks ago with no issues. I am taking it into a garage tomorrow but would appreciate some advice on likely costs.

I assume it just needs to be pinned back up to its original place and the costs should be minimal?

I am clueless when it comes to cars so could do with knowing whether, if the garage claim it's going to cost, £££'s, they are talking rubbish or not (had my fingers burnt before with a garage - obviously I'm going someone else tomorrow)

Thanks

You'll need to know if a part has broken or a rubber has just come out of its hanger. If its the latter most places will look for future business and do it FOC but a beer token wouldn't go amiss.

Thank you :beer:

Hope it is the latter but if it's the former, any idea what I'd be looking at price wise?

to save yourself being ripped off, get a price for the job and ring around a couple of other places, most towns have a couple of exhaust/tyre centres.
