Popped down to Breeze (Poole). Wet all the 2.5 hours drive down there. Parking was tight when I arrived, so folded the mirrors in, but for the first time, the drivers side folding didn’t work. Ah well, another extra bill I thought.
It was booked in for their 34 point visual health check, and some pre season piece of mind; roof drains ok? Window drains ok? Aux heater ok ? Pop up roof all ok? (We tend not to use it) starter battery ok, leiusure batteries ok? Etc etc. might seem overkill to some but did the same this time last year before the extended warranty was due to run out, and as I suspected there were issues with the infotainment that they found when they did the same checks last year, which got replaced under the warranty. They quoted me £168 inc VAT which was the same as last year.
I also asked them to clean and lubricate the runner / seals on the sliding windows.
Couple of hours later all done and given a bill for £168.
I asked if the sliding windows had been done (as that was on top of what I originally asked for / what they had quoted for) and the answer was yes ( and you can see when you look at them as well)
Drivers side DRL never worked ( during my 2.5 year ownership) but they had without me asking sorted that out and there was no charge.
I paid the £168. Got into the Cali and ready to go, and found they had sorted the drivers mirror folding as well (without any additional charge)
Another wet journey back to Bristol, but happy with what they had checked / done especially without charging me anymore for it
Shame they are so far away and workshop not open on a Saturday otherwise the service / MOT would be done there as well.
It felt like Old School local garage levels of service, but from a Main Dealer!
