Identify all things it's wrong in these pictures

Had a broken spring on Monday , so I thought change the whole set , dampers , springs and bearing on both sides since the shocks getting tired on both sides so ordered genuine once from Best of British. The usual garage was booked until next week , so he recommended a new garage Gorbals Mot Center . After £200 just for the labour and Their workmanship .

That is downright dangerous! apart from the incorrect fitting of the top washer, excessive apparent differences on the tightening of the centre thread etc is that nut actually missing front the top of the strut? Scandalous.
I assume you will be politely bringing it to their attention

In picture 1 - I think the washer is upside down?

In picture 2 - the nut been cut off on top

In picture 3 - there's the gap in the spring aid ( is it normal? ) I checked my other tourers there's no gap .

And the car sits quiet high at the front .

The protection boot is loose. There must some bits missing.

Protection boot ? Is the dust cover and Aid spring ?

Gorbals MOT Centre? I wonder how many dangerously MOTd cars there are running around Glasgow?

If you don't get any joy in getting a full refund plus extra for the damage done to your parts, then a quick call to DVSA might make them think

Shocking to see those pics, I hope you get it sorted.

Oh dear and £200

That is all

In future you should call Cossie Dunc (see above) worth a wee trip along the M8

I wouldn't leave my car with any other place
