A few things weren’t done which wasn’t put on job card. They picked up my car next day free of charge to fix the problems free of charge but then we had another problem occur due to their error.
They fixed this same day free of charge and did a couple of other things for mucking me around although I had to go without my car for another day.

Dear Joe, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re genuinely sorry to hear that you felt your experience didn’t meet expectations. However, we feel a 1-star rating may not fairly reflect the effort and circumstances surrounding your situation. As you know, our team went above and beyond to assist you by coming on-site after hours and diagnosing the issue just days before Christmas—a time when many businesses are closed or operating at limited capacity. Unfortunately, given the age of your 1998 Corolla and the time of year, sourcing the necessary part proved challenging. We always strive to provide the best possible service, but there are times when external factors, like part availability, are out of our control. We value your business and hope you can understand the unique difficulties we faced in this instance. If there’s anything more we can do to address your concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Kind regards, Scott
