I've used RCA for my van's MOT the past two years. First time was great - professional, friendly, quick - I like to do my own work where possible, and the guys were happy to chat about what needed done. Second time, everyone I spoke to was great, apart from the old man I was unlucky enough to have doing the test. He was rude and dismissive, seemed taken aback that i'd want to ask about the results. More importantly, he did a bad job: - Failed for a missing part, which the van has never had and was never meant to have. He argued with me about this when I brought the van back for retest, acting like he knew more about the van than the Mercedes dealer I checked with. I get the impression he doesn't like to admit mistakes. - Failed on excessively worn ball joints. One had less than 1mm play, the other no play at all. MB spec is 3mm allowable play. This cost me a week of work and stress, plus two days lost earnings. Not to mention the wastefulness of replacing good parts. The fact that he referred to me as 'this boy' (i'm in my 30s) to a colleague, in front of me, sums up his attitude. Unfortunately he cannot back it up with aptitude. I'd highly recommend this garage, so long as the old man isn't in.
