First the rear beam bush episode then they lose your locking wheel nut now this!  :angry:

As for the advisories all seem fair - not sure about the lowered one  :undecided:

The child seat one is laughable.  They could have just asked me to remove it so that they could test the seatbelt.

Child's seat and lowering one are laughable for sure. Same as a friend's road legal track car, advisory was "no passenger or rear seats fitted". Well no sh!t, it's clearly a track car!

True but i think you will find thats how its done if they can't check it gets advised.

This is madness

As a warning to anyone else.  Do not, I repeat, DO NOT use this garage.  In fact, don't even drive NEAR to it!

I'm going to use a local indy that sponsors lots of local events, they also go free labour for servicing on Saturday mornings, so you just pay the waste disposal (£5) and cost of parts/fluids :cool: Better than using a large corporate B/S crap hole. Before anyone says DIY, I've got no where to do it myself as I'm not allowed to service my car in the communal parking and I've been told off by my mums old neighbours for servicing my car round her communal parking space :lipsrsealed: Old f#cking bat.
