Bought car 6 weeks ago.. its X plate (1999).. had no major problems until this afternoon was sitting at a traffic lights went to go and car started making horrid noise and then when moving off realised something was trailing on the ground! Thankfully partner was with me and was able to tell me what it was.. there was a garage on that road so took it right there and they it off and said it was ok to drive just now and to go back tomorrow morning and they will fix it... the mechanic said it is 3 parts on the exhaust that is needing fixed..they have quoted me £175 to fix it.. does this sound fair? l have only just passed my test 5 weeks ago and this is the 1st time dealthing with anything like this!

Sounds about right.
