05 September 2025
Because of the lengthy time we were needlessly inconvenienced
05 September 2025
I actually wanted a proper valet and was prepared to pay for it but I was told this wasn't available and a complementary one would be done. That's nice enough, but it wasn't a thorough job, and I really wanted the car to come back pristine.

01 August 2025
Bowkers git 4 stars because I was not offered the "long-standing customer" discount until after I said the original price quoted for the work was too high for me. I am a pensioner and being asked to pay something like £175 extra more than annoys me.
