My mistake guys, i missheard, they didnt give me a full description of what they did over the phone so i got the garage to send me the invoice which is the details above and when i think about it i suppose its not too bad. still didnt expexct that much work, there was seemingly a lot of oil coming from somewhere. the only thing is, is 6.5 hours too long or about right for the amount done?
