get an itemised bill including individual prices for all parts used and the time they took to fit.

All good garages should do that anyway.

1.5hr rear lines/tracking
30quid to fit two tyres
50 for MOT

came out at 440 in the end, got my mot advisory sheet and it went onto a second page mainly trivial stuff like bulbs and headlight aim, all been done though which isnt bad at all, car makes a buzz when i take the key out though now

kinda like the jammed hazard noise?? only lasts like 2 seconds..

clutch bite is a bit weird, maybe needs the cable adjusting and gears feel a bit all over the place, sugestions?

almost forgot, he did fit a wing too, but its unpainted but least its done..
