My car is coming up for 8 yrs old next month - to date zero repairs - only servicing, pads, wipers & tyres.
Minor Service & MoT was booked - car was fine IMHO
Horror of horrors my car failed - a broken pig-tail on the N/S front - pot holes probably to blame.
Drop link on anti-roll bar wear noted + corroded flange on exhaust back box & mid-pipe - advisory only.
No local availability of a spring - 2 Honda Franchises he uses did not have the spring BUT did have a complete spring/shock absorber unit at about £300.
Spring sourced from OEM supplier, drop link bushes replaced and flange cut-off and new flange welded on. £65+VAT for repair parts.
3 hours labour @ £45, oil/filter, repair parts, MoT + VAT the bill came to under £340.
Value for money compared to main dealer. I have been using the Indie for 25 years - I deal with the son as his dad, who started the business 40 years ago, is 70 & only part-time.
