Andrew, Edinburgh

I would like to pass on my thanks to the Servicing Department who dealt with my service and MOT today at Hamilton Road branch. The whole process meant there was no impact on my working day and I was kept well informed of the progress. The standard of service was excellent and your staff are a credit to you.
