I would recommend strand highly . You can use them with full confidence.
The reception smelt and was in a run down and poor condition. The man in reception was on a call so I waited patiently. After his call ended I explained politely why I was there and the referral company, the.man responded by saying he did not work with that company but called a similar name stating they worked with them. I had the email booking and offered to show him. He said he didn't need to see it and that my car was not booked in which conflicted with my email. After a long 8 minutes of going back and forth I walked from reception to the foyer to call my car company. They confirmed that the my warranty company and the one the garage man stated were in fact the same company as I suspected..
The reception man heard this and approached me requesting my Reg number while I was still talking on the phone. I was on hold when the man stood in front of me picking at his nose. I was horrified and requested he used hand sanitiser. He responded he was not taking my car as I ignored him when he could clearly see I was still on the call. The warranty company luckily was privy to all said he would escalate to their complaints department and remove this garage from their approved list of garages.
As I left and walked back to my car I was told that the technician who would have worked on my car was on holiday hence there was no one there to work on my car. Clearly the reception threw the gaslighting book at me knowing they should not have booked in my car in the 1st instance.
DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE.
