Have you seen the state of the delivery fleet? I wouldn't let my car anywhere near 'em!

I wouldn't recommend at all.the amount of vans that come back with the problem not fixed in our office is happening way too often.

Thanks everyone, was having massive doubts. But on a small budget, hoping they'd get it through for cheap.

Exactly, we've had vans back with bodywork repairs and they can't even get the colour right, we've got vans with doors that are more like pink than red !!

That's more a poor Vauxhall paint job than RMs fault, red Astra's and Corsa's are prone to going pink too. Fleet Maintenance is suffering the same cuts as MCs/Delivery. They offered this service to BT vans, which fell apart as that work wasn't getting done either.

Here here. Rather take it to Kwik Fit, (and that's a no no anyway),if they still exist. Always do servicing myself, not MOT obviously.

I drive the vans back and half of them should not be allowed back on a road after MOT not happy if my car went in for a so called service not having a go at the technicians just the cost cutting at all costs!

Don't take it to kwik fit, they're being taken to court.

Same goes with halfrauds, I mean Halfords.

On the odd occasion the workshop has actually fixed the fault with a van, a new fault usually appears within a couple of days.
