ok, disappointed.
I called up to book in for this check over. They told me it also had a recall required - for the airbag. So They said they would do both. They said the check was 'complimentary', so that sounded great.
When I took the car in, the miserable guy seemed to think it was in only for the recall. I had to keep repeating 'health check?' to him and he muttered, "yeah yeah".
After an hour they called me back, and told me the recall was done. They gave me a document called 'visual health check' with most things on there saying 'not inspected'. They seemed to have checked the tyres and have an entry on there saying 'all lights working', but against the fluid levels there is nothing. So ... I went back to see miserable guy and asked him if the levels had all been checked, he was patronising to the limit starting with "Its only a visual check - complimentary" etc etc. And he was dodging the question. "HAVE THE FLUID LEVELS ALL BEEN CHECKED??"I told him that there was nothing against that line on the document, and his answer was "yes, they would have done it, but its just a complimentary check". So unconvincing. I've checked myself and the fluids seem VERY low, one or two appear to be below minimum level.
I've a good mind to let the engine blow up the sue the buggers.
My assumption is that because (as miserable guy kept reminding me) it was free, they've not done what I wanted. I would much rather have paid the 35 quid and got it done properly.
They sent me a text later "Thanks for using us, if not COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH SERVICE (their capitals not mine) contact Richard on *****.
For sure, he's getting a call from me - there's no point in offering customers something for free, if you then make them feel like crap for wanting it done properly.
