took the van into vaux this morning for
timing belt
alternator belt
drive belt
water pump
they may or may not have needed doing but i wanted them done so i know that there done as i have little history of the van's service history
they have it all day
i pick it up
they have done
the timing belt
thats fucking it. old drive belts are stil on there and so is the water pump
fucking well annoyed, i wanted vaux to do it so its in the vans history with it being low milage and the newest thing i owend i thought id spend the cash instead of doing it myself
i might have fucking well done it myself.
well annoyed 
lookers ellesmere port by the way

"it wasnt on the job sheet"
the receptionist lady knew what needed doing, but the mechanics didnt
funny £330 for a fucking timing belt is bloody expensive

rip off merchants spring to mind! most garages are all good but there are the few out there that are only in it for the money, not the customer service
