I'm quite pleased with that. It was an interim service at my local Indy Garage. Their not the cheapest but I trust them.

Car had no advisories and Bill the mechanic complimented me on how good it is.

not bad going at all Bruce!

I use the garage at the bottom of my road, and I'm happy with them too,

I always say do whatever you would do, and I trust them not to rip me off,

they often say I don't need things doing even when I asked for it.

Last years MOT/Service (my first with the Focus) was over £250, but there was a rubber part on rear which was split,

It was a ball-ache to get to apparently, so some labour cost there, so hopefully this year should fly through,

I've not done many miles at all, so only an interim service this year, he even told me that I won't need plugs doing next time.

If I get it below £200 I'd be very happy with that.

On a side note, I spotted these kits lastnight,

I really should start getting my fingers dirty and do some of my own servicing.

haha one day!
