Hi Guy's and Gal's,
Beware of the Main Dealer Rip Off.
My partner heard a knocking noise coming from the front of her Vauxhall Corsa. I listened to the noise which was heard when the steering wheel was turned. I thought it could be a problem with the steering rack so told her we should book it in with the Vauxhall main dealer Pentagon in Nottingham to find out what the noise was. Pentagon had the vehicle for one and a half hours. The vehicle has 17,000 miles on the clock and is three and a half years old. Pentagon told us that the anti-roll bar bushes are worn, the outer cv boot is split, the brake disc's are 80% worn and excessively lipped and the steering rack is worn and needs replacing. Total price to put it right ₤947.19 pence. Hmmmmm! I have been an engineer for 32 years and until 2000 maintained my own vehicles. I looked at the brake disc's they didn't appear to be excessively worn, just 17,000 miles worth of wear. I took the vehicle to an independent garage who checked the vehicle over. The anti-roll bar bushes were worn, the cv boot was split, the steering rack had nothing wrong at all and the break disc's had only 17,000 miles worth of wear on em'. Pentagon were going to charge us ₤725.95 pence for work that was not required. Peoples watch out for these robbing' Ba-st--ds don't take their word for work that needs doing on your vehicle, infact.....don't use them at all.

never ever go to the big boys your guaranteed of being rippeed off, i took my car to 1 of the big tyre places cause my car was pulling to the left i thought it was track rod end or something, they said it was a track rod end and quoted ?60 odd, i wasnt happy so i took it to my repair garage thay said theres nowt wrong with it, it turned out to be a dent in my wheel rim, ( i had had a flat and swapped it for the spare which i didnt know it had a dent in the rim ) and my garage didnt charge me for checking it out
