£3.50 for putting a new bulb in, and your questioning it? I would have told you to fit it yourself...I see "black" bulbs all the time, and often they still work in this condition, but very dim..
I wouldn't say I was questioning it, I was just pointing out that as much as you check your car for operation and condition of everything that things can and do fail on route to, during or from an MOT test.
I would investigate the reason why any lamp on a car of mine appears to look dim compared to the other side, I hate seeing cars with poor lighting.
It probably wasn't your bulb they showed you but one they keep to show people what can happen to bulbs and justify why they replaced it, but in my opinion if people need convincing that your not ripping them off just by replacing a bulb then I wouldn't bother
Exactly! Why bother to show someone a blown bulb? It's not like it is unusual for a bulb to blow and in my opinion just makes people more curious as to why they are emphasising the point.
, sadly thats the world we live in, some people don't check anything when they come in for an MOT themselves, and then want to know how and why your charging them for every little thing,If we really wanted to make a few quid out of MOT failures there are a lot of easier ways to do it.
Very true! Sadly the motor trade have a bad reputation for ripping people off and unless you personally know the garage owners well, It give you a reason to suspect dishonesty or poor workmanship.
On the flip side there are drivers who never bother maintaining their cars and then wonder why it fails an MOT on Wiper blades that are falling apart, The stop light that has not been working for the past 9 months etc.
