Do not use

Warning do not use derek curtis cars unless you want to be ripped off!!! So I took my car for an Mot last week, the guy seemed really nice and friendly. He advised the mot had failed due to a faulty shock absorber. When asked how much to repair he said £120 with parts and labour plus vat. This afternoon when calling to tell me my car was ready to collect, he advised the price had gone up to nearly £250. Asked why he said the labour had taken nearly 3 hours to refit a shock absorber? Considering it was only fitted last year?? As I went to the garage to collect I was told extra parts were fitted including a spring? Now in my experience of having work done you would receive a call to check if it was ok to carry out extra work or any extra costs. Seemed like a nice friendly old school garage, however first impressions can be wrong! As a woman taking your car in for work can be daunting, especially when people like this try to take advantage! Needless to say they had £150 and no more!
