This is a true happening and i just couldn't believe what i was hearing.

We had in a Renault Clio for an MOT & repairs so we lent the owner our Nissan Micra just to make life easier for us both.

Anyway when she came to pay the bill of £130 she said i've put £10 of fuel in the Nissan so i'll only give you £120.

My father didn't know what to say but i walked off as i was slightly amused and angry at the same time.

In my opinion its unreal what customer's expect sometimes.

As for the mechanics using the customers cars for running down the shop etc, i remember when i was on work experience and the mechanic i was working with always used to go down the bank on a Thursday every week in customers cars.

(this happened every time i was there for 4 lots of 2 weeks experience)
