  My Car went in for a major service which cost £480.00, a week later it broke down the timing belt snapped so I needed a new head gasket, valves, pistons and timing belt which they quoted me £1,800. I said I couldn't afford the repair so they said they would look for cheaper parts for me. I went ahead on this basis. When I came to pay for the repair the cost was £1,799.they saved me a told of £1.00, but they then said but we've saved you £1,000 as the repair usually cost £3,000. NOT once did anyone say it was that much otherwise I would have scrapped the car as my car is only worth £3,000.SO BE CAREFUL WHEN THE QUOTE FOR WORKS. But a week after this major works my car broke down in a very dangerous section of a B road with smoke coming from the engine. The AA man said there is a major oil leak near the timing belt area may be the crank seal. It got towed back to the garage. The garage said no oil leak it was the turbo but we will change this for free. A week after this repair it broke down again, the AA man said there was oil around the timing belt maybe the crank seal AGAIN! and a dead battery which they charged up replaced the crank seal and I needed new glow plugs which they then charged me £169. This is shocking they have put my family in danger twice. DO NOT USE THIS GARAGE.
