Like most of the rest of us, I shake my head in wonder!! How do these people ever stay in business?
Quick little story from me...
MOT time, last year....same garage for the past 5 years, but new tester (to me) on the grid. Did all the basic stuff; lights, tires, emissions etc and then came to the brake tests. Started the rollers and did the basic stuff...no problems so far...big bang!! and the car shot off the rollers!!
His response?....why didn't you tell me this as an AWD 4Motion? My reply was.. why didn't you check the vehicle file, or look at the cars badging (clearly marked as a 4Motion)?
Result....1200 pound repair bill for them, 2 weeks driving a new BMW X6 thingy for me...actually managed to put about 4 miles on the clock...but has led me to make sure I am looking over the shoulder of anyone testing my cars in the future.
Funnily enough, my Golf (the one featured in this post) will be going in for her MOT shortly, at the same garage, sometime this coming week, or so.
Stay tuned.
