My car was overheating. They said they fixed a fan, charged 60 pounds. Next day car was still broken, so I took it back, they said it is thermostat and will cost 40pounds. So they changed thermostat and said the bill is 80pounds. And surprise, on the way home car was overheating again. So I took it back, they check it and said everything is working and they have no idea. I took it to another garage, in 1h guy said it is fan. Changed it, car works perfectly. So I lost 140 pounds and still had broken car. Avoid this garage!
