CYBEREVOLUTION

…I only had my car serviced 4 months ago, and it was a major service so the brakes ought to have been checked! Suffice to say, I am now in the position where I can’t drive safelfy until it has been sorted.. 

I took it to National Tyres, and they did their checks.  Now I don’t have a fancy car it’s a simple Citroen C2, Insurance Group 1 etc…  They told me that both the Discs and the Pads needed doing on the front, now here’s the shocker for £258.00!!!

Now considering you can buy the parts for £13 and £18 a piece, that’s a HECK of a markup and no mistake.  I have of course told them where to go.  Until I can sort out an alternative that doesn’t cost me the Earth.

Lesson learned today is, just because a High Street garage gives you a price - it doesn’t mean it is the cheapest or the best…I’m gonna shop round from now on.
