I agree, Not taking your car to Walshys can save you alot of money.
Apparently, As i`ve been told by alot of friends that when your car goes in there they make up other jobs for you to repair first before they can do the initial work you put it in for.
So I took my car in there anyway and they told me I needed this and that doing, So I then took it to A reputable well known garage for second advice and they told me that all I needed to do was get a new clutch and that was it.
They fitted the clutch very well and they were the cheapest aswell.
So advice is NEVER goto Walshys Garage for anything...

As I said earlier.,.. I have found Walsh's very fair for MOTs. granted I could probably have saved a few quid if i'd shopped around and booked it into somewhere else. But since I live right by Walsh's it is convienient for me to just drive in and out...

I don't and wouldn't take my car to Walsh's for general repairs because I use a very good garage (Chris_Gilly) for that smile

My late uncle was only licensed to drive reliant 3 wheelers and he took his car in for Mot at Walsh's as the one behind the brown cow in bebington didn't do reliant tests anymore as it only had 3 wheels they cudn't do it straight away as they had to sort a pit where they could make a plaform for the front wheel to rest on anyway when my uncle returned to Walsh's he was told there was a major problem with his reliant he asked what so they said we'll show you so they took him to the " OUT " side of the testing bays and there was his car with all the front corner smashed up. One of the mechanic/testers had decided to take it for a test drive as he had never driven a 3 wheeler before as he turned left from Walsh's down corporation road the car toppled over onto it's side and smashed the body which is fibreglass naturally Walsh's had to repair the car which took over a week. Naturally my uncle was fuming but to make the problem lighter Walsh's said but your car passed it's m.o.t.
Apologies for this being long winded.
