If I thought that a dealer had been near either, I wouldnt buy it.

Dealers do the shoddiest work - bar none - and charge the highest prices.





We dont all come from your background of rebuilding your whole engine every few weeks though. For many people the first port of call is the dealersship if they dont know a reputable garage - reputable garages are hard enough to find.

Dealers also cannot say that your warranty is void by taking it to a proper garage.

I admire you a little for that, most people that I know men and women wont get under the bonnet to actually do anything, maybe they might swap a light bulb around however.

When I get a car now, I cant and wont buy new ones, so an old one I buy a file for all the receipts I gather during the ownership of the car. I can put things in chronological order and then it might help in the sale of the car. It gives an extra bargaining chip and I dont loose all the little bits of paper.
