Perhaps you should take your own advice.

Your commenting on my posting isn't going to scare me into not posting. This is the internet. Where anyone - including you - can post.

Can always tell when someone has no logical basis for their argument when they start attacking the poster themselves rather than debating the content they're posting.

Are you being deliberately dim? Of course it is - they were trying to rip her off!!

What we took issue with in your post is the dumb advice to "have it transported" elsewhere as "They are probably right in that it's not safe to drive"... Why? They were trying to scare her into un-necessary expensive work.

Nothing "dangerous" about it, drive it home (like she did) and get it to the seller to sort out, she's only had it 10 days !!!!!!!

I'm being as dim as you are presumpious.

Strut top mount op? Or other?

XYZ1000

The first garage said top mount. When I asked Kwit fit to give me a written quote with the work that needed to be done. The guy printed it out for the pads and disc @£250, but hand wrote top mount £300. Saying he couldn't print it as he would need to get a quote in the morning for the part.


The second garage said a rubber needs replacing in a mount which sit above the wheel. (I think I got that right).


I suspect that that National tyres have a thing going with the garage to be honest but I can't prove that as a fact.

No surprise - a small car place without workshop facilities often subs remedial work out to a local garage. I wouldn't necessarily read anything into that. I bought a Volvo estate from a local small car trader, when the rear spring broke a couple of weeks later then he had me drop it into the National Tyres (just a coincidence) place next-door but one to his "forecourt" and they sorted it & billed him. Because he put all his work like this their way he got a good deal, why would I care as long as it got sorted to my satisfaction?
