Poor Service from garage
Comments

Oh for a psychic garage! My point is that as they said it's done at the 72k service (but only if the customer asks for it) then they should advise this when they take the booking eg. "The cambelt should be changed at this service and the cost is...." At previous services they have flagged up things like the discs will need replacing at the next service, so why not such an important item as this? This is not good customer service and needless to say I never going back there.
I would expect any good garage to let you know that a cam belt charge is required. IF the cam belt does go, it can cause an unbelievable amount of damage, which could end up costing you almost as much as the car is worth. Probably to the garage's advantage, as they'll charge you lots of money...
Good for you for not going back to that garage!! Ask around and get friends to recommend another one for you to use.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
They should have called you at least, if not to prepare you for the shock but to see if you wanted it fitted as you may have been able to get it at a cheaper priceNo Links in Signature by site rules - MSE Forum Team 20
