HI folks MOT due and service required, inspection 1,called in local BMW stealers quote was £335 for service plus £50 for Mot bit steep me thinks. I then called local indy, he quoted £184 plus £47 for the service and Mot, great says I, booked it in fingers crossed that no problems were found . When i dropped it off, he said several problems with Z4 rear bushes, front bushes, rear springs. Stop i say don't want to know, ring if you find anythink amiss. Mobile rings heart in mouth I answer it, sorry sir its failed, on what I ask thinking this is going to be expensive, front brake pads sir, anythink else i ask. No sir, how much to replace, £85 pounds more. Result I think thats fine says I total bill £325. Car sorted for another year, well pleased :driving: :tumbleweed:
 
Sounds like a good deal on the MOT and service. I always get suspicous when I got to any garage and they look at the car and say 'Mmm there a problems with these car, the ABC123 is not good etc etc - the next thing you get is a phone call, "Sir (well sometimes) remember me telling you that part ABC123 on these cars can be a problem - well it is on yours and its £XXXmegabicks to fix - sorry to give you the bad news now shall we go ahead with the work - credit card or cash?" Maybe just my suspicous nature. On another note if the front pads needed replacing was the brake wear sensor not activated.....?
