Whatever happened to service?
Mar. 15th, 2006 06:29 pmTook car in today for 2nd annual service. Car was bought new from same garage, so you'd think they'd show a little interest.
Courtesy car - Vauxhall Agila. Quite apart from causing my brain to have '(I)have an agila, have an agila, have an agila ...' running round and round all day, the thing most closely resembles Postman Pat's van. All it needed was Phoebe in the passenger seat for perfect verissimilitude. Apparently they only come in that shade of red, too. Kit says they're Japanese, but I can't see how they can be since I'm not short and my feet only just reached the pedals, nobody under 5'5" could possibly drive it. Handled like a pig, too.
Sigh.
Returned car to collect mine. I think they've forgotten to do the 'recall' timing belt replacement the guy mentioned, but they did replace the missing pin on the parcel shelf (that cost £42). And two tyres. And the cracked rear light. All of which came to £500.
There went any luxuries for the next couple of months :-S By luxuries I mean - eye test/new glasses, dentist, etc.
LOUD sigh.
However, Kit probably coming by tomorrow night, so Phoebesmum might get her new loo seat installed. Possibly.
Also, Miami Vice on DVD from Lol, so there will be screencaps of the daft white suit and 80s hair (really, Jeff, what *were* you thinking of?) and I finally gave in to temptation and put Codename: Phoenix in the DVD drive. After ho-hum intro and credits, I suddenly developed a serious case of drooling. I really can't imagine what that was about at all ...
