I've just discovered a way to get my car repaired for free (all it costs me are the parts).

I take my car to the local technical college, and the trainee mechanics mend it ... it saved me over £100 on labout to replace a head light bulb today - and as I had the spare bulbs in my car it cost me nothing, other than the fuel to get there and back.

Next job is my air con!

I guess there is a chance they mess it up completely - it depends on the quality of the supervision and the level of the students.

Thats true, my only concern was the dirty foot prints inside the car, but they'll clean out.

Its good experience for them to practice on my little French car - as its only 4 years old, so much more modern than the N reg cars they were working on, but also its a lot more complicated.
