We have used this place on several occasions and in the past we have been happy with the service. But they say good things never last and this seems to be the case here, We are a two car family and they both required servicing and an MOT this month. We decided to take up the offer of combined service and MOT for £128 with a free valet (worth £18) and in the past has been well worth it.
Booked both cars in and left them to it, What a shambles!! On our return four hours later, one of the cars was supposed to be finished the other was still waiting, We examined the finished vehicle to find the service book slung in the back seat and not stamped, and a whopping great grease mark on the inside of the drivers door.
We approached the staff and were told by the guy on the desk that the mechanic had pointed the mark out as he took it in for the service?? highly unlikely!! we asked for the service book to be stamped and for the grease mark to be cleaned off. Not our problem we were told, i insisted that this was rectified and eventually the valet staff wiped it over causing a larger greasy stain which we cannot shift.
The second car had been valeted and was now being serviced, We noticed that the staff no longer use seat protectors or paper mats in the footwells, big mistake my car has a beige interior, at the end of the service the footwell was covered in greasemarks off the mechanics boots and the centre console and door were covered in greasy handmarks. Once more to the reception desk to be told that the problem was not their fault We asked for it to be cleaned off. The valet staff did not want to know they had done their job previously.
Now call me picky but if a car is booked in for a service MOT and valet it would be logical to do the jobs in that order!!. Not for these guys. The staff were surly and after a few minutes the desk guy admitted that he had lied about the mark on the first car and that it was probably caused by one of the mechanics, you dont say.
Apparently it had been a busy day and they could not cope, I bet it gets quieter if they continue like this.
Having got our cars back we both noticed that neither one smelt as if had actually been cleaned and when i dipped the oil on my car it looked as if it hadnt been changed. Not having stayed in the premises like we usually do we both doubt the service has been carried out fully.
Needless to say we will not be back, read more
