Default Re: Some mechanics must think people are stupid!

Back in the day I had an ‘81 Escort, and it developed a terrible steering shudder whilst driving.

I took it to “Pedders” and the “shifty rocket scientist” said “it’s bad,we need to replace the front steering rack etc”. The quote was horrendous.

On my way home I stopped at a shell servo for fuel, and I talked to the mechanic about his thoughts.

He put the car up on the lift, tightened a couple of bolts and fixed it.

I asked him “how much”, and he said “no worries mate, on the house”.

I will NEVER EVER go to that other franchise again.
