I expect not to be ripped off!! And to use a screwdriver for all of 15 seconds to me isn't chargeable.... it's called customer service, and loyalty to the customer you have
i guess there are targets/national averages. if you pass too many vehicles first time then you attract attentionThat is now very commonplace and I ask the same question.
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

Time to look for somewhere else.
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...
Anyhow, went out this morning in the '38 with the kids in tow on their quads to go on the dirt roads and get them out while the electric was off until this afternoon.

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!

Good until the batteries fail when just ut of warranty.
Went for a fairly long drive. At low revs and in torque lockup, engine seems to be missing/lumpy
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
