Visiting family in newcastle over the xmas period.

fortunatly one of my uncles businesses is a bodyshop, and he agree'd to sort out a few dents/ scratches in my car free of charge

only problem is my car averages 30mpg, and its over 400mile each way lol..

wheras a train ticket is only £60 return...but i wouldnt get free bodywork



what would you do?

do it, if the garage's work is of a good quiality i would fork out that much traveling expenses....plus you get to see your family etc over the festive period so its not wasted expenses at all imo
