“Mechanic was brilliant ,but the job I put in for was to replace exhaust system and track end rod I think its called , I got a quote then the mechanic phoned me told me I needed a back box too and I said I wanted the whole system done which was going to be really expensive , the long and short of it is Halfords would have been the cheaper option but because work had already started on my car I cancelled the halfords appointment, in the end it cost me £70 more plus fuel to and from Brechin .So not really a good deal .But I have nothing bad to say about the mechanic he was excellent .”
