Very disappointed

Booked 30 points safety car check for £14.99 and free battery check. Came to the garage and was told that they only have battery check on their system and they can't do 30 points check because it's not showing on their system.

Hi Anna,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review on the experience you have had at our Bournemouth Branch. We appreciate all the feedback we receive as this helps us improve on our service.

However, we are sorry to hear that your 30 point check was not to be seen on our systems and the team did not carry this service for you. We can understand this frustration this must have caused you.

We have passed across your information you have provided us to the team and requested them to contact you regarding this. The team will be in touch soon.

Kind regards, Shannon

Booked the car for 11:30 at Holdenhurst Rd, Bournemouth.
Dropped it off at 11:15 and they told me to come back in an hour. I came back 1h30 mins later and the car was not done.
It then took them another hour to to do my car.
After I left I realised that the paperwork I was given didn't include a work sheet/ report for the wheel alignment as most places do. I only had an invoice and a blank vehicle health report.
I left at approx 13:45 (2h30 mins) , after having the wheel alignment done, a job that normally takes 30 minutes.
Not impressed.

Tyre Renewal

I made4 an order and paid for it, based on the information on your website, for 2 new tyres. When I went to get them fitted, I was told they were the wrong tyres and I was charged an extra £40 for what was put on which had lower efficiency & grip. Also whilst I had asked for the rear tyres to be changed, your computer had the front. Fortunately I was able to correct your team. Not a very good experience!

I took my car for tyres and wheel alignment, when I got there around 10.30 am I was told the alignment machine not working. Why no one bothered to let me know in advance and could have made appointments for wheel alignment somewhere . Even to arrange with another branch. So now have to use new tyres without any wheel alignment. I can not get a booking soon..
