HUDS

I bought at the beginning of December 2016, I was told upon purchase of this car it had all been checked over and serviced before hand over. I have had to have this in the garage to get the tracking done, which I was aware needed to be done which is fine. But the garage also had a good check over of the car and it came back to me with a bill of over £200.00, now if the car had been fully checked and serviced when I bought it surely I should have needed to do this works to it? Below is a list of things which have been done New oil filter Oil drain plug New hand brake cable Copperslip/grease/brake cleaner Front brakes needed stripped lubricated slider pins clean and refit Strip rear brakes removing drums – handbrake cable had seized on the near side 9hence why handbrake didn’t work) Clean up shoes & drums Lubricate pivots and adjuster Renew engine oil New sump plug I don’t think this is acceptable as really this should have all been checked on handover and the garage are very shocked this car passed an mot, I’m very lucky my brakes have not failed which could have resulted in causing harm to myself, my new born child or another road user
