Have I been ripped off paying for a new exhaust and tyres?
The exhaust pipe on my Vauxhall Corsa came unstuck and Kwik Fit charged me £375 for a new one and told me that the front tyres needed changing. They recommended a £79 alignment check which apparently showed 15% and 5% off track tyres. The total cost was £660 for new pipe, alignment check and two new tyres. Have I been ripped off?

I doubt it. If the front wheels were out of alignment the tyres will have worn unevenly and that's why they needed to be replaced.
From choosing the right tyre to what to do when it goes wrong - we have the answers.
