Just took my car for a service (corsa c sxi 1st service)

Took them 45mins and i mean 45 mins to service my car guess how much labour they charged.... £66 excluding VAT!!!!

i said to the woman what £66 for 45mins labour, she said yes vauxhall standard charge for that service.

Do you think the guy that serviced my car missed shit loads of stuff cause i was origionally told 1 1/2 to 2 hours wait on the phone...

But i was origionally told the car would be ready at 10.30 or later (took it in at 9) 45mins later i see the vauxhall monkey taking it for a testdrive, surley hes missed out loads of things to do on my car just to get home early.

i know we all moan about the service costs but if something major like the engine went bang(like mine did) at least it gets fixed for free
