Hi just to let you all know about the run around i got with the nct. I got my car tested the start of November. I failed due to as they stated inner tie-rods left and right where worn, nct employer told me that they are 25 euro each to buy. So went off ordered them in a suppliers, booked car in for a date with mechanic. Mechanic phoned my boyfriend on the day car was with him and says inner tie-rods are ok and that it is the steering rack. So by the time that part was ordered and mechanic was available i missed my re-test which meant i had to pay 21.90 cancellation fee. And a re-test fee of 27.50 euro. I got it re-tested on friday just gone and informed them that it was not my fault that i missed my re-test and that i was mis-informed.
The same employer came came out and more or else said i should not have gone by what he said on the sheet i said they should not be touching the cars and giving out wrong information if they are not mechanics. So he informs me that he is a mechanic and i said if that is the case how come you did not notice the steering rack was gone where my mechanic noticed straight away.
Luckily my boyfriend works shift and i managed to have his car while my car was with the garage twice and that the suppliers where decent and took back the inner tie-rods. I am touch with the minister of transport and have made a offical complaint to the nct.
So i suggest everybody be weary of them when they inform you of what parts need to be replaced
