Well, on Monday past, I went to Nissan for a free MOT check and was quoted £700. I was really thinking of getting rid of my car, because I still have to get the damage from my accident fixed as well (even though that's not my money as such...) then when I went back to collect my car the girl said she had forgotten to take off the club 4 discount (cos i've an old car) so it was about £500. Now that was still a lot for me (didn't include 2 new tyres) but my mum said if it was her she would put the money into it. I still wasn't convinced. But I rang up a wee garage and the man said he could do it for about £200 but not till after the MOT, rang up another garage and he quoted me £155. When I actually left the car in, this guy said that most of the stuff I had been told needed done (lots of brakes stuff at £170 each job according to Nissan) didn't need done at all - some of it had been re-done quite recently - and in the end the cost was £62 (plus 2 tyres)! Unbelieveable!
The Micra rides again!
