Bloody rip off.......

(PS we charge $77 per plugin most cases, some we do for nothing if your a good customer. Just to get our money back after 5 years plus all upgrades it still owes us money, but makes our lives easier)[/QUOTE]


I rest my case.

Thats why a good reputation is worth it in the industry. I will try the guy friends tell me is good over a big flash workshop. Some of the guys I use are retired or work from home and watching them work you see the diference, just don't ask them to hurry.

What utter nonsense everyone is talking about here :o oops, have I gone to far :banban:


I thought it all came down to overheads, pure and simple. As a business you make (or your bank!!) the choice on either a large or small overhead.

When the owner of your workshop drives around in a new Range Rover, the Service Manager gets a new Discovery for a couple of years, the workshop you could eat your lunch off, I know where my money is going to.

It certainly not going into the 'special' needs of my vehicle because those costs are relatively fixed. The same type of oil that went in you could buy at Supercrap!!

Anyway RANT OVER :clap2:

You're absolutely correct - as I mentioned it is not the same as the dedicated unit. It is simply a start and for me personally it helps me understand if there is a basic fault or something trickier.
