[@Gius3pp3K]

Who needs a mechanic when you can just visit a psychic

[@andypeck1972]

"Called you a blonde bimbo did I?" "No. But I know what you thought." Nothing like a well structured argument! Lol

[@emmas5000]

Hahahaa this is so 90s its ridiculous. Love it!

[@Zeus-kj7nn]

The blonde bird, intuition lol.. tyre worn on one side, window gap and pulling severely to one side. Well done luv!

[@ivornappinion9406]

Dennis Waterman makes a really good narrator.

[@mohammedpanju2236]

The Late Dennis was a CLASS ACT.

[@barricadeish]

She said that it would be different if she had muscles, her chest muscles looked ok to me 😁😁😁

[@LEERILEY33]

Peters daughter dont half bugger some cars up lol

[@Nerpha]

[@cosmic687]

[@Jackthesmilingblack]

Get yourself a blue-collar boyfriend, darlin'.

[@buffplums]

She is a lovely lady I’d love give her marks out of 10 I’d certainly give her 1

[@turquoisecat761]

How clichéd, a thick blonde bird from Essex called Sharon who drives an Escort cabriolet.

[@guy4469]

[@drone2u]

Nigerians are known for their honesty. ..

[@TheHorsebox2]

@@drone2u ...and their two-day engine changes. Sorted.

[@richardford6154]

Quality 😂

[@Draxindustries1]

Took my car to one of these back street garages and spoke to a guy called Robin, it wasnt until i found out the guys surname which was 'Bastard' that alarm bells started to ring..

[@moneymandan6217]

Trust me dealerships are twice as bad

[@cmautolink656]

The man with the little Bedford rascal van and the bushey Mansell moustache is very unique and is his beautiful ginger haired body builder wifey they are a perfect match the 3 of them inc the van

[@guy4469]

my sister took her 205 in halfords clutch was slipping .they said new clutch ,she came home to think about it ,then went on line how to adjust the clutch .so simple a cable rite near the battery, she did 4 turns with pliers and and a spanner , it still going fine another 60 000 miles .

[@markdunbar8219]

That was the norm back in the 80s get two cars for the price of one the old cut and shut bargain 😂😂😂

[@gd4465]

The first garage mechanic that is honest still have to be born, they are all criminals.

[@1700iDiGuy]

G D i was born 31 years ago. Honest backyard mechanic 😂

[@simonloveless8924]

Dangerous indeed not safe for the road.

[@theoneandonlybanterking6385]

Is that harold shipman?

[@Gius3pp3K]

We are reasonable people lol.

[@vanlivingandmagnetfishing5263]

He can see all that front end damage with jst a corner fold of ID plate and apparently the welds on front slam panel? I'm sure them welds look like sealer that paint n panel shops use 🤔 😂

[@SCD4]

I found out that buying new if you can afford it is cheaper in the long run. I purchased a new Micra for my wife. 8 years old and hardly paid out anything other than the normal wear and tear.

[@Tnenamrep2]

Love the man that's always smoking. :P

[@stratpluslover8391]

Thank god for HPI check these days That soft top escort would have shown up as being in a serious accident and she wouldn't have bought the car in the first place .

[@MM0SDK]

Goes to a medium, probably telling the medium beforehand all about her car problems and low and behold, the medium pulls out cards telling her she's been ripped off. How people pay for this guff is beyond me. She's a real sucker for punishment.

[@vistron888]

Why exactly would you need a psychic to tell you you've bought a wrongun when the window is an inch away from the seal?

[@riverhuntingdon6659]

Well err, "The only way is Essex"...

[@MrSupercar55]

The police report and the HPI check didn't identify any faults with her car. The psychic didn't see it. It was her that saw it and a roadside mechanic from the RAC that spotted the fact that the car was dodgy.

[@reflexindex267]

Perhaps she just did it to put her mind at ease of what she needs to do.

[@HaileMecael]

these are just thieves, that the police leave alone

[@1700iDiGuy]

Most garages that aren’t pretty dealerships are full of cars and parts, and dirty. The key is the smaller family or backstreet garages that appear to be always busy are the ones to go to. Use your noggin, ask people who are entering and leaving the garage on their opinion and experience

[@deveaux77]

So this lady was scammed by her car dealership and sees a psychic to confirm such a thing? A psychic?!

[@rockacraig5653]

Yes. Not What I'd do.

[@briangreaves2442]

most garages will rip you off thay will say it needs this and needs that and it dont at all thay will say it will take a time to do the job so thay get more money out off you

[@mattbeardsworth3201]

What year was this programme broadcast?

[@baladar1353]

1., buy a cabriolet in the UK only for the looks, that's the most clever idea 2., don't take any person (who knows about cars) with you when you purchase the car, that's extremely important 3., consult a "psychic" about the car you feel something wrong about 4., that "psychic" must be the only person you consult about the car, she (he) is an expert of cars, trust her (him) blind 5., never ever read a book about repairing cars 6., never ever try to be friends with a mechanic, car mechanics are lowlife alcoholic drug abusers, you have to stay away from them 7., instead, open the fucking phonebook to look up a garage, they are the best 8., if you know that much about cars, complain to the BBC that you were fucked over.

[@brodaqult7007]

Sharon is also getting ripped off by the psychic...

[@Foralluhaterz]

@blackzed because they are BS artists, but people are the losers for giving them their money

[@Gally89714]

garages from hell in 1970

[@alfamaniacs]

Nevermind if you can't afford a diagnostic tool ... You can always get a tarot reading

[@baron1946]

Had 3 or 4 M.O.Tees since the time of the damage .. SO .. how would you know that then Peter unless you KNEW about the cars history?

[@RedZu1]

2:00 Chabuddy G

[@kingoftrovaotv6138]

My car 😂😂

[@Clara-ph7my]

'Ringer'. My mum brought one (unknowingly of cause) when you turned a corner the front would go one way the back the other. 80's scam. (she was not dumb or blonde)

[@garethfloydevans861]

She an actor

[@StuartOliver83]

Good old days where even the crooks were cheaper than thes days,luckily I can fix everything on my car so I don’t have to worry sbout this,it’s the equivalent of a £100 extra each month on my wages I guess

[@moneymandan6217]

Write the theme tune sing the theme tune

[@techtitanuk5609]

God this is old look at those cars

[@skipraida5497]

This could be Arnold Clark

[@deveaux77]

@peachy6969 Agreed man. Serious help

[@keyholeartists]

People should just buy workshop manuals and do it themselves

[@philjackson4365]

You're right. 30 years ago, most people did. Nowadays, people are too busy posting pictures of their dinner on social media to take the time to understand how their second most valuable asset works. Anybody with half a modicum of mechanical sympathy wouldn't pay for a new engine and a new timing belt, as if they were separate parts. Zoiks.

[@RSimusic]

Phil Jackson Oh for fucks sake. Newer engines have much more complex electrical looming, diags & sensors, they have become quite a bit more complicated than just a workshop manual for joe bloggs to be able to repair his car.

[@philjackson4365]

I don't accept that argument. The skills you need now are a little different, but no more taxing to pick up. The most involved jobs like changing piston rings, a clutch, or just a cam belt haven't changed much, have they? More and more people seem incapable of changing bulbs in their cars, little own anything else.

[@philjackson4365]

***** Agreed. "My 15 year old understanding of auto technology is no longer sufficient" is not the same as "Current technology is harder to work with". The skills are different, not harder to acquire.

[@scottishjimmy9813]

Wonder if rest of Europe has garages as awful as we do.

[@S7RIKEFORCE2]

when was this 30 years ago ?

[@rockacraig5653]

No. 18 at most as of 2016.

[@guy4469]

And if you want a part for a BMW or MERCEDES ,go on a nigerian web site buy it ,with shipping from nigeria its still cheaper than britain.. And i insure my car with a company in holland amsterdam .its a lot cheaper than britain per year .I just have the documents with me all the time .

[@waterbottle4782]

I call bullshit. As a car dealer he is required to safety the vehicle before selling to a customer.

[@mcspooney]

bet this program would be tied in knots nowadays trying to get all the rouge mechanics. now all they have to do is plug a lead in a say yeh mate ya madufas deffo had it. an you've ran your addblue too low an now the system needs a service......

[@krundell1853]

tarot cards?????

[@shadow-Sun]

This makes me so angry goes on all the time here is the solution 3 years MANDATORY prison sentence for bosses of dodgy firms like this when busted ...watch how the problem disappears overnight after the first 100 or so arseholes get their 3 years .

[@jerryfirth6985]

consult a witch over your car pfffft

[@marclaw4511]

The days when we all had new engines,cars are more reliable now.

[@guy4469]

My link below halfords quoted me £3200 and said it would be week at least .wich one would you choose .I will never use quick fit halfords any off them big companys ,I have heard managers ringing other managers in halfords . How much have you taken this week oh its bin quiete we took £ 12000 ,wow i well beat you we took £18000 , but weve had loadfs of pensioners in and dumb mums in they havent got a clue ,cream it in .

[@grahamecook1370]

He has not got a clue what he is talking about , A mechanic !!! Not on your life !!!!!!

[@williamwebb6178]

That Ford Escort Cabriolet was a sliced lemon. The Alexander Motor Company sounded like a dodgy car dealer. People who cut & shut a car have no regard for the safety of you, your family, your childern or your grand childern all they're interested in a quick buck themselves.
