I had several points that I wanted checking as my car was having an m.o.t. at the same time as a major service. The service advisor and service manager recorded those concerns ,which were all addressed satisfactorily. My car was returned, along with documentation to my home. All the staff I had contact with were friendly, approachable and professional
