Antifreeze/Brake fluid
« on: 13 February 2008, 00:30:12 »

I decided to bite the bullet and buy a new batery Monday from VX Banbury and also decided to change the antifreeze again (had problems since changing it last ) so picked them both up using tc £62 just over for the two items inc vat .
I fitted the new battery at work in my time (sort of  ;)) no problem then just looked at the can in the back of the car I thought that it looked a strange colour checked label and found it to be brake fluid so glad I checked and did not put it in to the engine . >:( So another tripto vx to exchange it for antifreeze the bloke that served me was not there but the other one was he was not impressed at the mix up caused by them , anyway they changed it no problem .  So I will be checking more carefully next time  ;)

i think a lot of vx dealers need to work on their customer service a bit more instead of having their hand open to quickly

I personally find Bridge to be excellent.  Both the guys and the lass seem to know what they are talking about, and are all very helpful I find.  The balding chap in particular is very helpful.
