Funnily enough this expert is usually of the ‘self-appointed Internet forum armchair’ variety and has a £10 Halfords socket set.

As for punters coming with their ‘expert’ you can soon tell a genuine mechanic (or similar) from a f***ing idiot making out he knows the score and checking every last nut & bolt rather than a cursory glance and just getting in & driving the car.

Wheelerdealer1 91 Posted December 29, 2017 Well that didn’t go well, he didn’t like my car but unfortunately for him the daughter had the last word, his main grip was that it had a tow bar ( factory fitted ) and this meant someone had used it to lower boats into the water, beggars belief!

Moron. Real mechanics know exactly what to look for. I can tell a charade straight away and I let them know, I know its a farce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
