Car MOT

It’ll be something stupid like drop links that you haven’t got a clue about.

I, too, go to other people's places of work and annoy them while they do said work.

Fella is a complete physcopath.

Haha bloody hell Chris, do you wait over tradies in your house as well an keep an eye on them?

Tradies?! In his house?

Who will spend a cosmic age fixing up a kitchen with tradies around?!

Essentially a cuckold

The few times I've used them, yes! Largely to learn and keep them in tea, but on one occasion, when they made an absolute bodge of installing a fire flue/chimney, which fell down from the roof later that night and constantly leaked water when it ruined, to build a case about why I wasn't going to pay the full price!

I'd genuinely have done a better job myself and in half the time, if only I didn't need official government "hetas" approved cowboys.

Most worrying in all of this is how the Land Rover turned into a Dodge Monaco.

Thought same but was distracted.

I only EVER go to a mot centre where I can stand under the car and chat to the bloke doing it so that he soon realises that I know about cars and am going to fix any failure points myself, rather than them trying to get work.

When my regular bloke in the garage retired, I had a worrying time finding a new place. Any that said "just waiting in the sitting room for me sir" never got another visit.

I only go to our Local Landrover Garage both for servicing and MOT. All the lads and the owner drink in my pub and they are really good. Another mate of mine owns an MOT garage further away and he would kick you out if you even attempted to ‘keep an eye on him’. Leave people who know their job to get on with it is my view…..

It's computerised to Swansea any rate - but the checking for rust etc is not ....

Are you sure he retired?

Have to admit always jealous of people with the knowledge, and skills, to diy - whatever they turn their hands to. You not want to travel in a car I have "fixed" - it's the main reason I do not go out and buy a classic car as if anything went wrong I wouldn't have a clue.

I’ve had a couple of customers like that. Stood next to me the whole time trying to tell me how to do my job.

“I’d have done it myself but…”
there’s always a “but”.

Absolute arsewipes, to a man.

You’ve just described my dad, who can’t even change a plug !

If I send anyone around to do work for him, I have to warn them in advance

Expensive

Meant tyres not type

Expensive tyres I always go to an industrial estate Tyre merchant - far cheaper than the big boys .....

I know a fella who pretends he’s partially deaf if he knows the customer is going to be a nightmare.

He will repeatedly tell them they’ll have to speak up until they’re practically shouting, they get fed up in the end and [Poor language removed].
