I pay for a MOT and service with a service plan, which is supposed to include a car or pick up and drop off service. Neither are available anymore, I am registered disabled and had to sit for 5 hours waiting. (LOSING A DAYS WAGES) Next day a spanner light was appearing and I seemed to lose power. I had to re book it in. I said I am not losing any more wages. So they did collect it and dropped it back off. The service engineer didn't put a part back on properly.
