2. Slight corrosion on brake pipe next to the fuel tank.

Total price for the garage to fix is £294.56

I would go else where....

I have just had the r/n/s wheel bearing replaced. They picked my car up from work, replaced the bearing, cleaned the car inside and out (and it did need doing), drove it back same day for £202. I live in Derby and the garage is in Loughborough. I didn't think that was bad.

Garage description was a little vague

I would describe them as lower wishbones-both replaced

Only do local mileage, so budget tyres fitted(£50.00 each), but ride is soooo much better, was a little scittery(sp) before, like a new car now

KevG-sounds a bit ott there, although I believe the brake pipes are quite a big job
