“Good collection service.  Good communication.  All round good”.

“The gentleman I spoke to told me they were fully booked but because my motorhome was still under warranty, he would try to fit it in, he said he would give me a call in a couple of hours so we went for a coffee into Ashford, after a couple of hours he phoned me to inform me they had found the ad blue injector problem and would be ready to collect in an hour.  I am very pleased with the service I received and the manner it was done in”.
