Taxi Driver Online

Unless you are reasonably mechanically minded you are also trusting the service to spot any defects or potential defects on the vehicle,some of which are safety orientated.
If I were in that situation I'd rather trust my car and my life to someone charging a reasonable price for a reasonable job,not someone whos so cheap that they are obviously cutting every corner in sight.
If you end up tying your taxi round a lamp post one night because the brakes failed or similar you'll be dead chuffed you saved a few quid to repair it with and the NHS might be able to put you back together too.

Grandad,

Me and Kwik Fit don't get on.

Apart from the fact that prices for service work vary from area to area, I have a little rule of thumb.

If they have a Receptionist, check that they have done the work requested and expect the bill to be double anyone elses!

My Way ~ Find a garage you trust, pay their bill within a couple of weeks of the work being done and don't forget the Christmas Box of Choccies.

I knew a back street 'car repairer' who cleaned rusty brake pipes with a angle grinder and would use a syringe and undereseal to put a 'welded' seam round imaginary repairs to sound sills and floor pans.
I did hear that another party piece was to use a grease gun to pump in a mixture of filler and hardener into worn king pins to take up the slack.
