    uh oh, I suspect a large number of cars are going to need (expensive) new flux capacitors as a result

    will they put your car on a ramp and check to see if your suspension bushings are knackered or is it just a quick walk about the car noticing paint fading or misaligned panels or somthing simple like that?

    I got this done with FM Autocentre. Not very comprehensive at all.

    Spotted a fudged droplink which they replaced without labour charge as I was getting an oil service done. Just €21.50 for the part (Which to be fair was actually in need of replacement)
