    hey

    getting car towed to Atlas in Finglas tomorrow, starting motor has packed in. AA were out yesterday and had a look at it and confirmed that

    Just on the phone, they guy said that the part would be anywhere between €250 and €500, but that seems a bit steep doesn't it? The part listed below, ranges from €80-€150. https://www.car-parts.ie/car-parts/opel/corsa-d/1-4-l08-l68-66-kw/starter/1?categories%5B%5D=2

    I'm a bit hesitant to tow it out to Atlas if they might overprice the job. Anyone got any experience with them?

    thanks,

    Me personally I wouldn’t go near Atlas or any of the big brand mechanics. Bring it to a smaller local independent mechanic

    Dammit, just on the phone to him, Myles Balfe had moved out to Rathcoole. That's about 40 minutes away, bit far
