Trip to WiM
« on: 13 October 2009, 19:30:05 »
Well I have taken the plunge today and booked my Omega in for a trip to WiM on Thursday now i've got the dreaded MOT out of the way... After hearing all the good comments on here about their work I can't wait to see what it drives like on the way home... ;D ;D

They are excellent! Before you go down check for play in track rod ends. Common mot failure point.

The MOT isn't worth the paper it is written on, read the small print and it tells you that itself.

Just because it is a big organisation, don't assume you are getting the best there is.

Example for you..

One of my mates is REME....you've already read the stories in the paper.....and they are all true!

This can be very true KW, but the workshops i question are strict, have seen them fail safety checks for the smallest things...

My mate also plays by the book if he is being watched, once the doors are shut and it's just them in control though....................


What I'm saying is....NEVER assume
