tough one to call in truth, I know very dodgy people in both lines of work & others that are very good.

My car's going in for an MOT tomorrow and although I'm sure it's in first class condition and exceptionally roadworthy, I just know the dodgy feckers are going to find something that needs doing. The thing is they know they've got you by the knackers too. Hate them.

You know you can get discounted MOTs don't you? I go for Mr Clutch but Halfords, Euro etc. also do it. Then it doesn't matter if they do find something, it's cheap enough to get another test. So you don't have to get them to do the work to avoid a retest charge. Can't say I have found MOT stations inventing problems, but then I drive Subarus. No matter how hard you try, you can never find anything wrong with them.

I would say accountants are up there as well. I remember a few years back waiting for a Tax rebate, I got a letter off the Inland Revenue saying that my cheque had been posted to my accountants. Anyway a week went by & nothing from the accountants so I called in on my way home from work to ask about it only to be told they had banked it and that it would take '10 Working days to clear' factoring in weekends & Bank Holidays the cheque took close to a month to get to me.

I always say if you have a financial advisor who is working on anything other than commission based on your profits, you've hired the wrong guy. Similarly an accountant who isn't saving you more than they cost, isn't a good accountant. Just watch out for the ones who are too good to be true.

If you're round here, then I can do no better than to send you to Clive and the boys at Blackhorse Lane Service Station, SE25. I've gone through two cars with them and they will look after you. No doggy unnecessary work. If something does need doing they will pohne you up and discuss anything first setting out your options. My wfe saw Dave Prowse in there and they have his picture up on the wall. If it's good enough for Darth Vader, it's good enough for me. Builders are a mixed bag. Try to have work done via a recommendation from family or friends. There are quite a few cowboys.

estate agents are always top of the list. Or as they should be termed "compulsive liars"

Some of these Car Warehouse type places are/were well dodgy. I went to one in Wales and reserved a car to pick up a week later after I had sorted out my finances. I asked them to sort out the radio security code for when I returned. The next week I rocked up in Wales and asked to see my car again... it was a totally different vehicle but had the same registration number! I knew it was different as the new one had a sun-roof which the other didn't. When I pointed this out to the salesman he just shrugged and said "Well, you're getting more for your money now!" I walked away.
