The largest bill for fictious work carried out on a woman's car by garage mechanics was on of £6322.88 by ********** of Stevenage. Calling in for a routine service on her 1 year old Peugeout 305 Mrs June ***** agreed to pay for amongst other things: new trumpets (£752), cracked Gangle Pin (£1785), realignemnet of main glib shaft (£2268), new gromets (£112), set of hexagonal Tag nuts and dangleberry adapter (£35) and new valves (£120). No work was actually carried out on the car during its 6 weeks it spent at the garage but 4000 miles were put on the clock and she later received a speeding summons from Italian police.

I got my gangle pins replaced for half that!
True story:
Mates bird went Fastish Fit [1] place for a new exhaust.
260 quid quote.
Mate went to same place in the same week.
80 quid quote.
[1] Not Kwik Fit.

These are my own opinions, and not necessarily those of all Toads.

Well, fancy nicking things from The Sexist Book of Records and not letting on. Tsk Tsk.
(for those not familiar with said Sexist Book of Records, it is a Viz Comic publication and can be viewed on-line at:
www.viz.co.uk/joyofsexism/records/page01.htm
Very funny
[please use cut and paste to follow this link. And be aware it is Viz. M.]

Well Robin, having clicked your link, I have to agree that that particular page is funny, albeit that I didn't think too much of the rest of the site.

Whoops, should have pointed out that Viz is not really family tea-time reading material. Lavatorial is perhaps the kindest thing that one can say about it.

yea but didnt those saabs handbrake work on teh front wheels so the smoke from the rear wheels is obviously wrong ?
