    Hi, I think the car has been recovered and had a few basic checks done for a very reasonable price. Any further work will be charged for. The amount already charged is so small that it obviously doesn't include any 'repair' charges. In my area a 'recovery' is usually at least £120. If you want a 'diagnostic' doing be prepared to pay about £45 per half hour. If they are not a chevy ( daewoo) dealer then they wont have the correct diagnostic equipment.

    At those prices, can you give their full address and contact details? I'd be delighted to work with another garage that recovers a car (that should have rightfully wrecked its engine with no vital fluids in it), done those preliminary checks and got it going again for you!
