861.9Car Inspections Phone NoARRODS::BARRONDSnoopy Vs the Red_BarronTue Apr 28 1992 20:4715
    I was looking for the phone number for AA car inspections and failed to
    find it here.
    
    So after a bit of detective work..
    
    0345-500610
    
    Charges depend on car e.g all Citroen BX range 100 quid, bigger the 
    car the more it will cost.
    
    Does anyone have more thoughts/opinions as to validity/cost 
    effectivness (sp) ?

    Using a Citroen dealer should be cheaper than the AA. When I was
    looking at cars, the AA quote came in at 250% of the cost of an
    independant specialist's check.

    But the car I'm considering is offered through a Citroen dealer, can't
    really expect them to be unbiased... can I.                           
     
    "I sorry Sir..That part is not covered by the insurance warrenty we
    bundled in with the car" :-(
    
    Can anyone recommend any independant services you may have used. Mail
    me if you prefer.
