Hi, my car failed its MOT the exhaust was too loud and had a leak. A friend of a friend said he’d look at it and let me know how much, but he has fixed it! And doesn’t want any money for it, but I can’t not give him anything, especially as he needed a part for it, just doesn’t feel right.. does anyone have any experience on how much that’d cost and what I should give him?
Thank you

Our garage charges £75 p/hr labour.
Maybe it was a cheap part and he likes doing something good to help out?
Has it actually now passed the MOT?
If so, you could bung him £40, or £20 and a case of beer so he can’t insist on you having it back. If it hasn’t yet passed it’s MOT -wait and see if it does!
