Hey Everyone...
Just been to a garage as my little car has been making all sorts of funny noises and I've been told I need a new clutch.
I asked for a written quote and he's given me a price of £375. The man said that it was expensive but he would fit a really good one, no cheap parts etc....I don't know whether this is a little to overpriced?? And whether it's worth looking else where for a cheaper quote...but I'm now worried I'll get cheap parts put in if I go else where..
Hmm..
HELP!? 
Helen.

that does sound quite reasonable really. shop around and compare. perhaps after receiving a quote, try and bluff by telling them you were given a quote of 300 or less. may get a cracking deal
