Took my car to the Land Rover Agency in Aberdeen. It had an electrical problem with one light coming on and a knock under the bonnet. It's a long story, but they had it in the Garage for 5 days and found all sorts of things wrong with it, including the back brake pads needing renewing. After getting it back and paying a large sum of money. I noted the knock was still there. I rang the Garage and they said to bring it back. I refused as it's a 60 mile round trip. They agreed to come out and get it and leave me a courtesy car.... in three weeks time!!!
When they did take it away. I had a phone call about 2 hours later to tell me that the knock was a loose nut under the bonnet, but....I am sorry to say Mrs Harvey, you need new back brake pads, they are really bad!!!!
I explained to the guy they had just renewed the back brake pads a few weeks ago. He panicked. and said he would call me back. He called me back and said there was a mistake and the brakes were fine.
I have just had a new car delivered, not from Aberdeen but from the Agency in Inverness, would never use Peter Vardy again. I did ring and write to complain and had a letter from Peter Vardy himself with an apology.. Cut no ice with me. Its also not surprising to hear the guy from Inverness who sold us the car has left Peter Vardy in Aberdeen and is travelling 4 hours per day to his new job until he gets a house near Inverness. He tells me the staff are leaving in droves.
It seems that there are thieves in garages all around the world.
