I have had a few bad experiences as well....
Once bought a saab real cheap in christchurch because owner was told by his garage it had a blown head gasket....was quoted $2000 to repair.
Long story short...
Garage very deliberately misdiagnosed....and I ended up with very cheap car trouble free for next 8 years.
Have a few more bad experiences but that one was redicilously deceptive. Did notify and explain story to guy I bought car from
