    Oh it gets better.

    They also told me my breaks were needing done. Not wanting to pay dealer prices I said I needed to speak to the wife. Well I picked the car up and they'd done the brakes. Hands up though they admitted fault. Got new break pads, discs and window wipers at cost price, no vat, no labor, charge and they forgot to charge me for the bottle of oil and nice case .

    Any problems I've had with JC's are now forgotten. Though I did go in and they said "Ah Mr Hill" and the other guy "The man that drives too fast". So I guess the rumor about swiping the key fob at the front desk and finding out how the driver drives is actually true .

    In saying that mine was rattling and I found the wife had put a penny in the door shelf and another time she'd put a hair clip in, drove me bloody mad till I found them .
