Yesterday I heard a knocking sound coming from the back whenever I drove over a speed bump. On checking, found out that my exhaust pipe had come loose.
Went over to the workshop and they did a temporary fix and asked me to come in the morning for servicing the car.
So early this morning I left my car at the workshop. According to my Service guide, it was also time to change the camshaft drive belt (also known as the timing belt). I was shocked when I found out that it would cost me £125 (inclusive of £60 service charge).
I was really happy when Mr. Isfaq, the boss at the workshop told me that the timing belt had been changed early last year according to a sticker on the engine and after opening the engine, he had confirmed that it was still new. I saved quite a bit.
Isfaq showed me the old oil filter. It was filthy and looked like it had never been changed since the previous owner bought the car.
I paid £100 (considered very reasonable) for everything including the parts and service charges. This also includes 2 new wipers and for fixing the exhaust.
Actually felt a big difference in the car's performance when I drove back.
Thanks a lot guys.

Hi, I like your blog. I would like to say that although these days we witness certain boom in car production, however, the amount cars to repair did not diminish. There is still much work to be done. At the auto repair locations, the servicemen do not do their job properly as well. People complain about the inconveniences and frauds they experience. Lots of complaints of the kind I found on this great site www.pissedconsumer.com.
Thanks for the info Darvin
Great post, thanks for sharing!
