Cancelling car finance
Comments

I think the coil spring is away and quoted over £200 to repair and replace the tyre. Sorry my finance started August 2012 not 2011 as I originally stated. I have 19 payment left to make, not 19 already made.0

To VT the car it needs to be on good condition. So sat at the roadside with a broken spring and knackered tyre isnt anygood.0

I've looked up some stuff, and it suggests that they would take the car back and I would be held responsible for the cost of repairs. Which would be less than what i still have left to pay.0

Personally, I would fix it and return it in good condition. Better to be in control of the cost than leave it up to them to bill you.0 -

They will be you a disproportionate amount to have the repairs done. It would be much cheaper for you to repair the car than have them collect it, repair it and bill you.0 -
They could give you main dealer repair prices.. It wont be one spring to replace but a pair as thats the wise thing to do.
Also there is a risk that some balljoints may also need replacing. Sometimes they dont like being undone. And the pin may turn when they remove and refit them.
A spring is probably less than £40. £60 or less to fit it. I had a pair of springs done and it cost £120. parts and labour.
Due to the weather. It was just starting to snow and i dont have a garage i paid that instead of getting pneumonia.Censorship Reigns Supreme in Troll City...0 -
I have paid to get car repaired, cost me £200. However on it's return it was making a noise. I phoned the garage and they told me the exhaust clips are away and to take it back today so that's more money. However we were originally quoted £160 then they went ahead and did repairs without asking and charging me an extra £40 so my partner is going to speak to them as there was no noise before it went in. It's never ending lol.0
