The cost of a free MOT..
Halford was offering Free MOT, I checked their reviews online all seemed to be good, so I thought why not! If only I had known...
On the day of MOT, my car failed due to tyres and a rear fog light bulb. As proof of the issues with my fog light, I was shown a dashboard alarm. I told them strange as I had never noticed that alarm before, and their flippant comment was I am probably too busy to notice. They changed one fog light at the cost of £40 yes £40!!. Sadly I was rushed off my feet so didn’t have time for a second opinion.
After I picked up the car, I noticed a new issue with the lock on the driver’s side (not locking/unlocking when I drive off or use the key fob, and it’s making loud cranking noises instead). I called them within the hour, and as planned returned the next day. No surprises there when I turned up, it was yet another issue I was too busy to notice and they needed to contact Mercedes for a new lock, and I would have to pay for it. This is an issue that in a few days has not only set off my alarm numerous times but has stopped the door from shutting several times. A huge inconvenience to say the least, and although I drive my car twice daily at least, I seemed to have missed this issue too.
Avoid AT ALL COST. The free MOT will cost you thousands, Stay away!!!
