Had to pop in a new screen for the MOT, I have insurance cover, so went through them. Ended up with Autoglass being assigned to do it. That was hard work to arrange, but thats just because their call centre are just a bunch of useless, thick retards. But thats another story.
Because they can't guarantee a van with some kind of cover onboard so they can work in the wet, nor could they actually provide a sensible date in which to visit to replace the screen (and then not necessarily being able to do it if it was raining, due to no portable shelters, and this couldn't be requested at time of booking) I agreed to take it to my nearest branch, 25 miles away (but fortunately not too far from work
).
I can't really fault the workmanship, although one wiper needs adjusting a bit. But when they called to say it was ready, they said the wipers were really worn, and needed replacing, and they could do it for £17 for whatever tat they had (ECP are next door to them
). I asked if they were able to show me when I arrived to pick it up, and if I'd make the decision then...
Now, OOFers may recall I broke a wiper on this car about 3 weeks ago (actually, I broke one on each car within days of each other), so replaced them. Luckily, as I'd bought the wipers from Halfords at work, the receipt was still on my desk (nice clear desk policy
).
So, in I trot, let them give their BS about the wipers before presenting the receipt, dated 21 Jan 14, for the wipers, in their full waiting room. They got quite shirty
