I'd rather use one that isn't staffed by robbers and idiots
than get a free coffee, though. Especially as I don't like coffee.

mine was really reasonable this time, i was shocked
i'd been bad and not treated it to a service for 2 years, so it was the first service and MOT... only £600 and nothing needed doing. i thought that was pretty good?

unless it's too good and they didn't actually check anything.

£600 fucking pounds with no work done?
Yeah, that's entirely reasonable and no you absolutely haven't been rinsed by robbing cunts.

She got coffee and pastries included in that though.

an MOT is £54 so the service cost £546
if no work was done, that is very expensive oil change, maybe they used Sperm Whale oil

Maybe it needed a flux capacitor change?

£600.

Fair fucking dos. Mine needs a major service including timing belt and the drop links need replacing on the front suspension because Edinburgh's roads are worse than Nairobi, and if all that lot comes out at more than about £350-£400 I'll be having words.

£600? blimey.

I bet they actually rubbed their hands when they saw her coming.

That is fucking brilliant.
Only £600 and nothing needed doing. This is comedy gold.

Don't take the piss
Her car apparently runs on white truffle oil and filters made from reconstituted narwhal tusks. Obviously it's going to cost to service it.

Well, since you put it like that, bargain.

(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Fri 23 Nov 2012, 12:32, Reply)

well no, you sarky gits
clearly little things needed doing, and i asked them to clean out the filters because of the fucking leaves on my street.

but i meant no new tyres, no new brake pads, that kind of expensive schizzle
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 23 Nov 2012, 12:34, Reply)

Clean out the filters?
They replace them as part of a service. Filters are not expensive, like, 20-40 quid each. You have an oil filter and an air filter.
( Kroney, Fri 23 Nov 2012, 12:35, Reply)

no, not those
these were something extra where i thought mud/leaf gook would be collecting, it was an extra £64 to have them cleaned out, whatever they are
( rachelswipe with a fork, Fri 23 Nov 2012, 12:36, Reply)

Oh FFS. They're all out for a celebratory pint right now.

(Reverend Fister "a disciplined fuckwit", Fri 23 Nov 2012, 12:37, Reply)

Whu?
And what filter is this, exactly?

They charged you £64 to wipe down your radiator grille.

That's how I read it as well.

it's on the receipt
which i don't have at work

It's almost like you've wilfully missed my signature.
But, no, it appears on rare occasions it is possible to dislike coffee without resorting to anally penetrating men.

I'm not totally averse to it - I like a nice espresso occasionally with dessert - but I stick to tea generally.
