Not really sure what the above post means. I didnt bring it up mainly because a lot of the marks wiped off but also because they do come highly recommended (not just by guys on here but I drive from West London to Reading for my MOTs to a garage right around the corner called Thames Valley MOT. Both the owner of TVMOT and also a Mechanic who operates from the same garage recommended them highly as well - he mentioned he gets them to do work for him as well) and given how hard it is to find someone who does the work well, Im going to take it on the chin seeing as I would like them to do my brakes and front DSC bushes in the new year

I guess I was sad to see they had dirtied the Sport.......I would defo mention it to them next time.
I had a call from them last night to chat next service....customer focussed  * Current. 2024 D350 Defender 90. Too many modern gimmicks on it !

Im a cynic so yes it could be customer focused or it could just mean they are a bit short on work in December!

Sorry you found that mate. I was one of the ones who recommended. I've found them to be great, and rob even had my car for a day to check a mystery noise I thought I was having and didn't charge. Mine has always come back tip top, and the lady in the office (Sarah) does a great job on sorting all the warranty stuff out so you don't need to. Well worth another visit but equally the must be some pretty good indies your way. 2010 TDV8

At the end of the day, its not a complete dealbreaker as Im still going to get my brakes and DSC bushes done there but its slightly frustrating.
