No they dont. You go in, tell them your vehicle reg and they find the recommended parts for your vehicle. You have to get them fitted yourself

Thanks for explaining how to buy car parts. Without your help I would have been really confused.

You say they would have changed the shoes/pads aswell? Here is my bill, does it show this has been done?

So they've just changed one wheel cylinder, no shoes. It must have been just starting to leak - usually because the fluid's not been changed regularly in the past - and not contaminated the shoes yet. In those circumstances, just one cylinder would be acceptable. They've clearly had both drums off for a look, as they should, because they're charging you for new nuts and covers - the nut needs peening over, so should be replaced every time.

Finally, the light is still out, it is not the main 'everyday' lights that are out, they work fine, it is the ones you can blind other drivers with when using if that makes any difference?

Yes, main beam. The ones you should be using when you're not in a streetlit urban area and there's no oncoming traffic - and, no, it doesn't make any difference. It's still illegal to have them non-functioning, and it should fail the MOT on it.

All external lights must be working, that includes fog lights and side repeaters

So they haven't replaced both wheel cylinders. They didn't renew brake shoes. No idler pulleys.

What an absolute joke !!!! Anyone that justifies their price needs their head testing

Front fog lights are never testable.

That receipt is a joke. I agree with you aircon5 I would be doing cartwheels.

What bits are the joke please so I can maybe ask around other garages for advice?
First time in the area hence I used a dealership as thought, whilst more expensive they could still be trusted to do the right thing for the car?

And no I didn't mean fog light I meant the driver side full beam bulb.

What would you expect prices for these repairs to be?

Yes they are, I had a car fail on a faulty front fog light.
