Do you expect people to do something for nothing?

I don't expect something for nothing, but when theres no real cost to the garage, either through time or skill, doing something for nothing makes the customer feel looked after, who then goes on to tell friends and colleagues about the good customer service. I've had MOT tester swap a bulb for me, even tighten a bolt once. He does a very thorough MOT on my bikes and I have complete faith in the guy. That said, I *always* offer to pay for any extras/time etc
 
TBH they didn't even get the MOT right, he put a defective window screen on the pass, with defects, its is a stone chip that has had a repair, instead of asking if it has been fixed, he just put a defect down
 
Unless you leave it with them to repair faults, a retest isn't free (some places will do it free as a courtes). It is how they catch folks out.

Where i used to go for car mot, same place i used to get tyres.
Needed both at the same time so asked for both, he said he'd to the mot first fail it and then replace the tyres
Why? What's the point?

I suppose if he mots it, it's a one fee to check the whole car over and then repair all what needs to be done at the same time.
I did offer a pré mot check over but can't do certain suspension tests and emissions and I've had people come back after the pre check and the mot saying that the tester didn't think it was a problem.
I've seen "that'll be alright" and tyres must be bloody cheap after ball joints that have movement or even cracked flexible brake pipes that are OK...
Now I just tell people to go straight to the mot station and we'll deal with whatever they find and I'll make recommendations if needed...
Some think i just make the repairs up... They don't stay clients for long...

My very good m8 has just given up doing MOT's shame he just used to say do this or that and always pass it, I will miss that, so took the wifes car in, and the MOT shop tried to sting me for £10 adjusting one headlight, took me 15 secs with a screwdriver, and £15 to fit wiper blades.. X2 so £30, drove home had a set in the shed changed them went back for a pass, dam these bots like to charge you for sure!! Saved £40

Anyone got any recommendations on an air compressor? I was thinking maybe one of the little 24L ones, like a Clarke or Airmaster. Thoughts?

We have a 100l at the unit and the windy gun has it running with around 10s usage and it drives me batty so I'm currently replacing all my air tools with cordless.
The cordless impact wrench is massively better than the air version!
 
Went for a fairly long drive. At low revs and in torque lockup, engine seems to be missing/lumpy :( fine at higher revs.
Guess i need to pull the plugs and have a looksee

take it out again and give it some work, ( drive it like you stole it:))
Then see if you need to bend over and suffer taking out the plugs:)
