Thank you Craig
I don't have a garage or unit these days so no overheads ,its just a small scale helping local peeps type of thing
I have my regulars for pre mot checks and general repairs doing most things apart from paintwork
I quite often check a car over for due mot test and with 2nd hand cars so cheap currently often its not economically viable
to plow loads of £££'s worth of parts into the old car
I check also for near future work needed as in no point getting an mot if its going to need a clutch or gearbox soon (for example)
so I write them off and suggest sell it for spares repairs/weigh it in
I of course loose the £££'s of repair work but they appreciate my honesty and logic
and I get the servicing and any jobs need doing work on the new chariot as its mostly low end run of the mill cheap stuff tbh
