Maybe he needs to cover the costs of his new place.
I lost a bit of respect for the guy after reading that.
Paul is a very sound guy , always helped with advice and always performed a top notch job .
He didnt change the tappets in the non mivec models so i presume he's not sure of the work involved
he always quoted me lower than any other mechanics i went to and never had a problem whatsoever with the work he did on the car .he even charged me less than what initial deal was and he's really involved into the FTO scene .
i'd use him again anytime
I agree totally, sound guy regarding the price going up because of the relocation, well my friend had a problem with her car, it kept cutting out on low revs, not due to the stepper as it was a polo:D, well anyway i was up to my eyes in work so i recommended
Paul she went over and and he charged her nothing think he had to clean the fuel filter didn't get into details, well she gave him 30 euros as a thanks, but hey what a sound guy:D,, i would agree that he just doesn't know the work involved witht he tappets im sure if you called him up he would beat the other prices you got quoted.
