You wont get ripped off if you ask the cost prior to the job and find out what is being done for that money. The days of leaving in the car and paying without question is long gone.

Well asking for the cost of the service beforehand goes without saying really,I'm more looking to find a garage that I can be reasonablly confident will do the job required for the agreed fee.

I've been going to Tony O'Byrne on corner of John's Lane/Newgate Street for years and he's very good. A gentleman.

1.7 Civic, they're unusual here. Must be a UK import, nice car mated to diesel I'd say.
