sorry to be so blunt , i'm trying to warn other people to be careful of rogue traders.
i took my ibiza cupra tdi to STEALTH RACING, SOUTHAM for a new turbo to be fitted and the intercooler to be cleaned out.
i spoke to this company multiple times, and they told me they would charge me 1 hours labour to do a compression test.
they also said worst case scenario of the engine being scrap, they would fit me another engine for £400. he now denies ever saying this! he said it half a dozen times though...
well, they called me today and gave me a 12 hour labour charge for this work, and i'm left with a £781+ bill.
this was for the work and for a new oil filter and oil pipe, which they said had seized.
is this right? is this how long this sort of a job will take/cost?
if it is then i apologise if not then people beware of these people.
i'm sick to death of rip-off britain.
