a little help with technical translation please :-)

Struggling to break through the language barrier? Maybe we can help. Heard, seen or said something that made you giggle? We'd love to hear about it.

Post by oiesauvage »

Hello all - I was wondering if any one could do me the service of translating the offer on here:
http://www.groupon.fr/deals/dealbank_fr ... 61_225_1_1

I speak French but don't speak mechanic in either French or English :D I most probably won't even know what it means in English other than oil change but I know a man who will ! Thanks in advance x

The 50 checks are included on the price but whatever was found in the check will cost extra, as far as I know. The garage will make their money on the check findings-and why not.
