Rung up gaz to book in my corsa front shocks to be rebuilt and just got told about prices that they decide when done ?? Don't sound right was a woman on phone who sounded like they don't have a clue! Who should I ask for to get a price ? Cheers

I guess it means they will strip them down, decide what needs replacing then quote you from there.

its a bit difficult to say for certain prices for what needs replacing/done over the phone without the actual item there for them to examine though. i dont see how that is being akward really.

Same with Avo.

I expected it tbh.

Just make it clear you don't want any work done until they've stripped them And done a quote
