does this sound dodgy or could it just be that the MOT done at Vauxhall isnt that good.

Car being serviced and getting new tyres also. Just got call and told pads are worn and if not changed now would need to within couple weeks. I had a MOT done at vauxhall only 2-3 weeks ago.

yeah, if they worked fine it'd pass, maybe the service station is taking the piss

depends, MOT is to check your car is road worthy, a service is to ensure your car will be ok for the next year until the next service.

so have a think about it....

ok so it seem alright then and chances are not ripping me off

my bosses go to the garage and some ppl they know so i think its alright

will check the MOT slip when i get home

the total cost of everything is abit more than i expected (service, tyres, pads) but maybe it includes parts etc and he didnt mention it previous - will soon find out when get car back

seems odd today - without a car and a mobile (its broken )
