Just had 3yr service at Sheffield main dealer (Gilders) Following day on starting car for a moment I got a broad vertical red line on the left side of the dash screen- never seen it before(or after) anyone know if it means anything?
Main Dealer poor as usual- had a 3yr service plan to include mot and brake fluid change at 3 yrs, left car at 9am requested pick up at 4 (booked 4 weeks in advance). They rang at 3.30 - car is ready but do you want us to change brake fluid?- if yes will not be ready till 5.30 or rebook it
Ponted out that it was a specified item on service and in my service plan
Ended up going back following day to pick it up (as luck would have it 6inches of snow)- they tried to charge me for for the brake fluid change- I guessed they would so had taken all emails etc and they reluctantly backed down, but the had to go back again as they had stamped the service record as brake fluid change not done!!
Will not be going back to Gilders- will go independant. Have taken out a 3 year warranty with Warranty direct, £790 for 3 years or 72K miles includes sound system, DSG, turbo etc and a free MOT next time. limit of claim is "value of car"
