...you have to put your car in the garage then leave it all alone with them for hours?
My car is getting serviced and tuned up today and had to drop it off at 8am this morning. Seeing it parked outside as I got in the cab back home really puts shivers down my spine. What if they don't fix it properly, what if they rip my front bumper off going up the ramp, what if they cane it whilst I'm not around, what if they make it worse, what if they don't move it quick enough and I get a parking fine. All these questions were going through my mind on the way home. I've never used this garage before and am trusting them to do a good job.
Just thought I'd see if I am the only one that feels like this when you have to leave your pride and joy all alone with people you hardly know for hours and hours without knowing what is happening to it!

What if they masturbate in the drivers seat? Or has that already been done?

Did you not think about maybe you wouldn't see your car again cos you might have had an accident in the taxi on the way home, did you ask yourself how competant is this driver really? Did you trust the driver?
All these questions.... but who gives a fuck?

Not hard to service your own car anyway! Done mine for the last 3 years with no problems.

I hate customers who think that the only car we have booked in for a service is theres, there is a queue and then questioning the workmanship of trained professionals

I haven't got a socket set. I did do one of the lights myself with great difficulty using a spanner and a pair of plyers!
As for servicing my own car, yes I reckon I could do it myself. The problem is I'm not just having a service done. The engine has been running badly lately and needs to go on a diagnostics machine to check for faults, is also overfuelling really badly is going to have a thourough tune up.
All of that could certainly not of been done by myself especially considering the lack of tools I own!
