Suzuki Alto - Charged for exhaust I didn't ask for - boz1449
Took my to a local garage as it was due for mot, I had a quick look noticed the brake pipes looked a bit corroded so pointed that out to them said I was in no hurry , two day later got a phone call saying it had passed but had to put a new exhaust as it had failed. I was fuming as the bill came to nearly £400. They said they tried once to contact me but I had no missed calls, they had to replace it as it fell off on the way to the test. Can anyone tell me where I stand as I cannot afford to pay the bill?

Regards

Grant

They fitted something you didn't ask for . So you don't have to pay for it.

Or did you ask them to put through the test and replace parts it would fail on if so they did just that.
