Sarah, where's the car? It's gone. It's not gone. It's with Fixter. Since you never got

0:04.6

round to MOTing it, I took care of it. Fixter? Fixter's great! They pick up your car, drive

0:09.5

it to the garage, handle the MOT, then drive it straight back to you. Sounds expensive?

0:13.2

Don't worry. They negotiate their prices with their partner garages and the car pickup

services included. So since that's all handled, how about you take a look at that leaky tab

0:20.8
