Car Trouble

I own an Opel Omega v6 2001 model. Bought it a year back. I am facing small small technical problems from time to time.

Doe anyone have any workshop where this can be done other than Mannai. The service at mannai is good but the waiting period is too long. Now my car is in the workshop for 3 weeks as one of the critical parts is out of stock and needs to come from Germany. They took one week to just touch the car for analysis.

One thing I have realised now. more the automation in the car the more complication it gives.

Any Suggestions for a worksop?

Sell it,

Mannai servicing are one of the dodgiest in Qatar.

I have the same car as you. Bought second hand and was a great car until I took it to them.

They have broken the cat converter, (Offered to replace it for Qr 16000, no chance), crashed it into a wall in the workshop (gave a free oil change yippee), Alternator lasts 8 months (You guessed it warranty lasts 6 months, 4000 each). Just been for another service (Long story they forgot to do it) they have dinged the same bumper again. (This time not owning up to it).

Here's a tip. After servicing re-fit your wheels. The clanking noise is a free extra that they provide. Oh and check anything they have touched. Like radiator cap not tightened. Don't pay for their car wash. Waste of time and money. Get a cheaper one on Salway road, they are professionals.

Totally incompetant.
