They tried to flog me tyres when I had my MOT done. Then they also tried to sell me an exhaust part for £150 got the same part from Wrexham Motoring Supplies for £34. Quote for parts and work was almost £400, parts cost me around £120 and took about 30 minutes to fit.
My OH had an exhaust replaced by them and took that back for a re-fit as it was so badly done, I could have fitted it better.
Coincidentally, the guy doing the MOT is mates with the one who owns Ash Tyres.
I had a cam-belt, water pump and tensioner changed, after about a week I had a strange noise, apparently the “new” tensioner” was faulty and would be changed. makes you wonder if it was a fault, of if the work was not carried out to start with, (belt was new and the pump. but who knows like I say they fixed it after I went in and complained.
Your tailpipe tale reminds me of a friend of mines elderly mother, but the garage who did that to her are no longer around, they were in what’s now wrexham football club shop
