My puma went into our local garage for a service today. They phoned Bill and said it also needed two new front alloys and two new lower suspension arms – when I spoke to them to find out what they were on about, apart from calling me ‘madam’ constantly at the end of every sentence, he told me they would be an automatic MOT failure (MOT not due until March 09) and the inner rims were oval and could easily be seen when on the ramp. I asked if it would have affected the handling etc and he said yes it would. So I told him I had had no problems with handling etc, I bought it with a new MOT in March and had not had any accidents at all so couldn’t understand how it could have happened – he said it must have had a bump of some kind since its last MOT (like I wouldn’t have noticed running into a kerb or something!) Anyway, he got me so wound up and angry at his insistence that I must have kerbed it or something and calling me madam constantly (I did in the end tell him how patronising I was finding it and asked him to stop) that I said I would get Bill to ring him back.
If this is as bad he says it is wouldn’t I have problems with the steering? It drives perfectly straight, no pulling to one side in the slightest. Also there is no uneven wear on the tyres and they do not go down and need pumping up at all. And as it hasn’t been involved in any accidents with me it could have been like this when I bought it and if so how did it get it’s MOT? Also, if it is as bad as they say, should I even be driving her??
