I'm not sure whether up you mean the price or the service. Price was about £100 cheaper than the Stealer.
Service ? well the car still works

Informative

£396 have you missed something off the list ?
I'm struggling to get past £100 in parts/fluids leaving £300 for 1 guy a mornings work max
Love to see the structure of the invoice , would have thought £250/£300 would have been reasonable

They've always been good for me and always seem friendly.

I popped in last week and got a lot of options -reprogrammed
- One touch passenger WIndow Operation
- Auto Locking on drive off
- Re-locking if doors not opened in 2 mins
- Rear Parking Sensors callibrated
and confirmed the status of a few others options, like seat belt chime disabled

...Charged me a tenner cash for the lot

I know Phil45110 and //Mikerw both use them too.

Can't grumble at that , i do think there's a case of garages pricing according to the car that's in front of them & a E89 does look a lot of car/cash & wit that goes a rise in rates at some garages
