Today my car went in for its free service from the dealer who issed it to me as their customer after sales service was sooooooo poor. I called to book it in and they said its only its third service but four years old so all the filters will need changing, good I said as your paying!
So I arrived today, 125 miles from my house to the garage. They gave me a 55 plate tigra with 8000 miles on it. 1.8 sport with no A/C. TBH I loved it, the 1.8 is more than enough in that small car, 70mph with the roof down on a sunny day, it was great! Handled like a go cart, 18" alloys looked great too.
Anyway, picked my car up 3 hours later. Expecting a full service to have been carried out, you know, the usual air/pollen/fuel filters. Only to discover that none of these had been changed. My car is 4 years old now but only its third service. They said that they didn't need doing. When I explained that all these had been on the car for at least two years as they were a year old when I bought the car a year ago - making them now 2 years old - and the service schedule said they are 2 yearly items. They quickly changed them. They didn't even change the battery in the key! Thats a yearly item! They changed them there and then, well at least the pollen filter, I stupidly didn't watch them doing anything else so i'm checking the air filter tomorrow.
The garage in question? CAWDOR CARS LLANELLI, South wales. The most useless garage I have ever come across.
Rant over.
