It took him ages and he made it look really difficult. I've done the same job myself since - no problem. So, if a simple job like that is a challenge, would I go there for anything else? Not a chance.
On the whole, this debate seems to be KwikFit vs Stealers, citing c**k ups on both sides. IMHO, both are rubbish and I've had bad experiences of both.
The only place I've found a garage that....
a) has all the right equipment
b) gives a s**t about older cars
c) pays enough to recruit qualified mechanics
d) knows what they're doing with a 'high end' car
....is a good Audi independent. And even they don't get it right all the time!
